A successful retirement doesn't just happen; it takes a great deal of planning. Unfortunately, most people spend more time planning their vacation than they do their retirement. If you dream of the day you can lay on the beach soaking up the sun, then you need to start planning now. This book isn't on financial planning, there are several very good books available for that. Instead, this will give you lots of practical advice from a Baby Boomer couple that spend their winter in an active senior community in central Florida, and do so on a moderate budget. The guide takes you from selecting where you want to retire, when you wish to do it, what type of community is best for your lifestyle, and how to choose a home. It also covers winterizing your home, making the trip, and stocking your new residence. Most important, by avoiding the mistakes the author made, you could save thousands of dollars. And even if you don't plan on becoming a Snowbird, the sections on technology, insurance, prescription drugs, and the stages of retirement make this book extremely valuable for anyone wishing to retire.
