The Path to Your Ultimate Retirement Starts Right Here!

Retirement today is more complex than ever before. It is most definitely not your parents' retirement. You will have to make decisions that weren't even part of the picture a generation ago. Without a clear-cut path to manage the money you've saved, you may feel like you're all on your own.

Except you're not-because Suze Orman has your back.

Suze is America's most recognized personal finance expert for a reason. She's been dispensing actionable advice for years to people seeking financial security. Now, in The Ultimate Retirement Guide for 50+, she gives you the no-nonsense advice and practical tools you need to plan wisely for your retirement in today's ever-changing landscape. You'll find new rules for downsizing, spending wisely, delaying Social Security benefits, and more-starting where you are right now.

Suze knows money decisions are never just about money. She understands your hopes, your fears, your wishes, and your desires for your own life as well as for your loved ones. She will guide you on how to let go of regret and fear, and with her unparalleled knowledge and unique empathy, she will reveal practical and personal steps so you can always live your ultimate retirement life.

"I wrote this book for you," Suze says. "The worried, the fearful, the anxious. I know you need help navigating the road ahead. I've helped steer people toward happy and secure retirements my whole life, and that's exactly what I want to do for you."

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

    This book is a good general overview of things to think about before you retire. It’s not mind blowing stuff - it’s pretty clear and basic advice but helpful bc it’s all in one easy to read book. I’m not sold on her insistence on having to have a trust - for some folks that might not be needed. Otherwise I found the book helpful.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Stop flying by the seat of your Pants. Inform yourself with Suze.

    As I told a friend recently, 'it's time for me to stop flying by the seat of my pants.' I've always had the lucky knack of successfully winging it. But fooling around at my age is just that, foolish. "Newly Revised & Updated for 2023" is not a new Edition. But it comes with a few new pages of timely updates. Thanks Suze for caring enough about your followers to bring out this newly updated version.. While it is lacking is a guide to the "new stuff"....new entries do say something like 'As of early 2023..." No problem. I reread the whole book. My first read was from the library so this time I was able to highlight everything wanted to revisit. I have followed Suze for decades. I have a mind to follow her to the Bahamas!!! What a girl! She lives the dream. She really is a mentor-come-true for me. I like that she is one year older than me and she's fled to the Bahamas to 'go-fishing' . I've read and followed lots of fine financial gurus. So important to be well-read if you do your own planning. So important to know what is going on. I am so excited to be finally putting my retirement plan into place this year-thanks in part to this book- and I'm turning 72 or 73 next month. ;-) I've never been good with numbers. Much more a visual person.. With Suze, I can 'see' what she's saying.. if that makes sense. As a sculptor, I see myself scribbling on bits of paper and pasting each scrap into place. Or maybe I'll buy a giant foam core board and draw columns out to 100. Suze's repetitiveness..trust me, you need this stuff to be imprinted in your mind to ultimately trust in yourself and your ability to construct this grand shebang of a final financial chapter. Choose well, starting with yourself! Cheers! Perfect Guide for anyone over Fifty, as the title says.

    This is a great book to read. I wish I had done so before I retired early and started my Social Security. A lot of great advice in this book. At whatever age you are in your retirement before you make decisions on taking out your Social Security you should read this book. I wish I had. One thing I have done since I have returned to work, part time is to decrease my 401 to the level that my company is matching, and I have put the rest of the money towards paying down my mortgage. There’s a lot of great advice in this book. I recommend it.

    Great book with lots of practical and wise advice. I'm over 50 and wish I had read this book and started applying the ideas years ago. Really appreciate Suze's down to earth and easy to understand writing style. I've been reading one chapter a night and picking out the most important points to share with my husband, e.g. moves to make while you're still working, figuring out where to live, and planning for a career downshift. Feel better about getting this retirement thing right if I can apply all the things I've read in this book.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2023
    Love Suze and her advice. However, this book claimed to be updated for 2023. But the information in the book indicates it’s a 1st edition. No changes whatsoever from the original.

    ***If you have the fist edition already (from 2020), go to the Suze Shop on her app and buy it directly. It’ll also only cost $10+tax which includes shipping. (Unsure of how that works internationally.)
