Christmas gift ideas - a book for my newly retired mother
« on: December 05, 2019, 12:52:15 PM »
Does anyone have a book recommendation for my mother for Christmas? She retired earlier this year at 65. She's never been interested in how money works, but she's been asking me more and more questions about the topic since she retired this past spring. I was thinking about getting her something on the topic of frugality/lifestyle design/new to retirement, etc.

I was thinking the new revision of "Your money or your life" might be good. But I forget if that book is more applicable to income earners as opposed to nest egg draw down folks.

Thanks for any suggestions you have!

I'd go with "The Simple Path to Wealth" by JL Collins or "Your Money or Your Life" by Vicki Robin.
