"I know Julie through her lectures at Greenwich Continuing Education. She teaches (and writes) as the reader's advocate and friend. As a recent retiree, I found Julie's book very helpful and skillfully presented without being pretentious or confusing, but responsive to the inevitable dilemmas facing the potential retiree. Julie inserts references to chapters where certain subjects will be expanded, offers terse summaries at frequent intervals and uses phrases like "Do this exercise with me..." I recommend The AARP Retirement Survival Guide to anyone who wants solid advice from a trusted friend and ally."  Janice Calkin, Greenwich, CT
