I have had so much fun reading Wess latest book. What the happiest retirees know that you need to learn are a lot of things about money but, more importantly, how you live your life. You expect you need to have saved enough to cover your retirement years. Wes proves that only gets you part of the way. Relationships, family, hobbies, volunteering, and being involved in community are central to your happiness. Read this and you will be on your way to a full, rewarding retirement life.
