101 Retirement Mistakes Americans Over 50 Make

Protect your retirement from the mistakes that quietly cost people over 50 the most: Medicare plan choices, Social Security claiming, taxes, nest-egg withdrawals, estate paperwork, and scams. Most of these decisions don’t feel urgent — until a deadline, a form, or a bad recommendation makes them permanent.

Inside you’ll find 101 short, practical chapters covering Medicare gaps and drug costs, Social Security and spousal/survivor timing, IRA, 401(k), Roth, and RMD traps, retirement-tax surprises, estate basics, long-term care, and elder-fraud red flags. Each chapter explains what the mistake looks like, why smart people make it, what it can cost, and what to check instead.
