Synopsis Easy-to-read, easy-to-follow successful strategies that baby boomers and seniors have taken to get their retirement saving and planning up to speed, so that you too can catch-up before it's too late --from the author of Bankroll Your Future. Seventy-six percent of "pre-retirees" do not feel "very confident" about having enough money for retirement, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Forty-six percent of Americans -- including those aged 51 to 61 -- have saved less than $10,000 for retirement, according to a Public Agenda Study, which also says that a worker who earns $35,000 a year for 35 years will be able to replace only 65 percent of his income with pension and Social Security benefits. For the millions of Americans who have put off planning and saving for retirement, financial writer Ellen Hoffman relates 54 real-life success stories ... helping readers to get ideas about what they can do to catch up right now, without a calculator, no matter what their financial resources. Designed in a very readable, accessible format, The Retirement Catch-Up Guide reveals how finding a "lost" pension, creating a retirement vision, setting up a reverse mortgage or a small business, and dozens of other strategies can help late starters build their retirement assets.
