Praise for The Hard Times Guide to Retirement Security
"I can't think of a single colleague, friend, or loved one who wouldn't benefit enormously from reading Mark Miller's smart and lively guide no matter how far away they are, or think they are, from retirement. Personally, I only wish he had written it sooner."
—Eric Effron, Executive Editor, The Week
"One of the sharpest observers on retirement, Miller offers instructive ideas to help readers address the challenges they'll face in the years ahead."
—Eric Schurenberg, Editorial Director, CBS MoneyWatch.com
