This isn't a detailed reference source for the "how to" part of that, but that's OK. The line of thought in this book is very much a. "Read this Book" according to JoAnn D. Palmer. Information was presented effectively. Content was interesting and to the point. Much to think about and decisions to make by young adults through retirees. Great book.. Five Stars A great read with modern graphics and type layout. The simple format is easy to read and digest.
