Book Reviews/Testimonials For 55, Underemployed, and Faking Normal
“55, Underemployed, and Faking Normal is somehow a terrifying wake-up call and a heartening idea filled guide to navigating the new realities so many of us face or will face.”
LA Times
“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
“Elizabeth White has written a book that we believe can help a good part of a generation, and those that follow it, adapt to a new normal of financial instability as the social contract has been upended.”
Porchlight Books
“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.”
