Trade Review
“Every so often someone names an invisible pattern in society with such honesty and accuracy that it becomes a seed of a national conversation. Elizabeth White has brought to light the unexpected challenges of Boomers turning the corner into older age. She offers straight talk to her generation while giving everyone an eye-opening look at the travails of aging out of relevance in America.” -- Vicki Robin, author of Your Money or Your Life and Blessing the Hands That Feed Us
“We all know someone who is struggling financially and uncertain about their future. For practical solutions and a comforting shoulder, I highly recommend 55, Underemployed, and Faking Normal. Gems for everyone no matter your age.”
-- Viola Davis
“Simultaneously a terrifying wake-up call and a heartening, idea-filled guide to navigating the new realities so many of us face or will face.” -- Kate Tuttle * The Los Angeles Times *
“This relevant and well-researched book will appeal not only to those 55 plus, but to the generation coming right behind them who may face similar issues.” * Booklist (starred review) *
"Providing practical solutions with a focus on retirement and maximizing savings, White maintains authority with a realistic, empathetic tone throughout. This deeply useful work will resonate with aging readers of all income levels and situations." * Publishers Weekly *
"Generously guides a generation of Americans finding a healthy, sustainable new normal and better life in their golden years." -- Dylan Schleicher * 800-CEO-READ *
