Review Excerpt:

How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free

(Macmillan, Rs 295) by Ernie J. Zelinski provides "retirement wisdom that you won’t get from your financial advisor". The advises range from “move to a college town” to “plant your get-a-life tree and watch it grow and grow”. But the real enjoyment comes from the cartoons, and the retirement quotes such as, “the time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time”.
