You can learn how people like yourself made the most of their retirement savings."-James A. Barry Jr., CFP chairman of the Barry Financial Group and host of Jim Barry's Financial Success on PBS"I'll tell you what's so good about Rags to Retirement, what distinguishes it from the long catalogue of damnably boring finance books out there. I'll tell you why it matters. Simple really. It's about story, not accounting. It's about people, not money! People like you and me. We're not rich, never will be. We should have taken Economics 101, but we took Latin or geography, and now we're facing our golden years with trepidation and empty pockets. Well, take heart, folks. We don't need a million in the bank, but we do need to live creatively. That's the lesson in these refreshing and moving stories of people who've led hardscrabble lives and have somehow managed to settle with dignity and independence into their golden years. And we can do it, too! Rags to Retirement: such stuff as dreams are made on."-John Dufresne, author of Deep in the Shade of Paradise
