Welcome to theretirementhandbook

With over 15,000 Americans retiring daily there are an awful lot of questions that are asked on how to do something that we work our whole lives to achieve. This site attempts to answer many questions that have been asked and many that you may not have considered.

The Resource Center is a compilation of articles written by experts in their respective fields. Here you can research state and local taxes; read about retirement trends or review copious articles on areas of finance in order to retire successfully.

GeoCenters focus on regional areas that you might be considering retiring to by providing insightful overviews along with GeoBlogging and GeoForums. Here you can ask locals and/or residents of specific communities what their take is on living there.

Once you are armed with all this information on how to retire, your next move is Getting Started. Preparing your home for sale, negotiating with listing agents, learning the ins & outs of a community/plantation and defining your Dream Home are just a few of the many important topics that we’ll cover.

So sit back, relax, grab a cup of coffee and let's begin researching your upcoming retirement years!
