The Savvy Senior: The Ultimate Guide to Health, Family, and Finances for Senior Citizens

Author: Jim Miller

A concise, helpful resource for seniors that covers topics from aging to investing and travel -- from the popular syndicated newspaper column of the same name.

"The Savvy Senior" is a nationally syndicated newspaper column that serves the growing needs of the senior population and the families who support them by providing useful information and valuable resources. The column and its companion website (www.savvysenior.org) invite readers to submit their questions and then provide the readers with answers to anything and everything senior. While many of the questions focus on Medicare and Social Security, they also cover a wide range of topics, including hearing aids, telemarketing fraud, volunteerism, reverse mortgages, travel, education, wills, nutrition, and even employment.

Now for the first time, all the columns appear together, so that every senior can become "The Savvy Senior."

Jim Miller is the creator and writer of "The Savvy Senior" syndicated column. After his parents died, he started writing the column to help himself through the grieving process. Miller lives in Norman, Oklahoma, where he is well known as the stadium announcer for the University of Oklahoma's football and basketball games.

Publishers Weekly

Those interested in making plans for their own retirement years or concerned about a parent's retirement will find many of their questions answered here. The author writes the syndicated column "The Savvy Senior," which is published in 400 newspapers, and he bases his book on the thousands of questions he receives on social security issues, Medicare, estate and retirement planning, health issues, caregiving, grandparenting and more. Miller's writing style is a mixture of "just the facts, please" and light humor, allowing him to establish himself as a credible and knowledgeable expert. Numerous checklists, resources and charts make it easy to learn about such mundane topics as Medicare and living trusts, while "savvy notes" interspersed between paragraphs enlighten with odd factoids. Baby boomers caring for elderly parents will want to pay special attention to the section on avoiding telemarketing scams to seniors, who are the number one target for this type of criminal activity. And seniors on a fixed income will find the section on "Cost-Cutting Tips on Prescription Drugs" helpful as they learn how to apply for free prescription drugs from the pharmaceutical companies. (June 9) Forecast: The book's title will attract those familiar with Miller's column (it claims to have 18 million readers), and an appearance on The Today Show will tip off new readers. According to Miller, America's senior population will double over the next 25 years. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

"A good, important column that is full of information and resources." (Patricia St. Louis, The Fountain Valley News, Fountain, Colorado)
