Media Reviews
As 77 million baby boomers approach retirement age, it is essential that we be financially prepared. However, it is equally important that all couples openly discuss their dreams and aspirations and their vision of what they want their second half to be. That's where Dr. Maryanne Vandervelde's invaluable guide steps in. To my mind, Retirement for Two is required reading for all couples -of any age - who hope to grow old together in a fulfilled relationship. --Carrie Schwab Pomerantz, President, The Charles Schwab Corporation Foundation, and co-author of It Pays to Talk: How to Have the Essential Conversations With Your Family About Money and Investing There's more to retirement than money-much more-and Vandervelde's book can help you and your spouse understand just how different-and how much fun-life can be in retirement. --Ric Edelman, author of Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth Couples who do everything together often plan for retirement apart. The great contribution of this pathbreaking book is to show couples how to anticipate the many challenges retirement brings-psychological, legal, financial, and medical-before it's upon them. Vandervelde knows that retirement is a joint venture best planned for jointly. This is the one book that every baby boomer should read immediately. --Edward L. Schneider, M.D., Dean, Leonard Davis School of Gerontology at the University of Southern California, and author of Ageless: Take Control of Your Age and Stay Youthful for Life
