Description: Latter-day Saints live six years longer, on average, than the population at large, giving them an extended period of potentially productive life and services, but the challenges of retirement, aging, and related issues will eventually need to be tackled at some point in everyone's life.  This book addresses many issues related to retierment and later life, withing a Latter-day Saint context, witht he goal of making that time more meaningful, productive, and fulfilling.
