Business Week currently has a great retirement guide online -- their annual retirement guide. Here's a summary:
"No matter how you see your retirement, it takes a lot of serious thought to get there. Financial planning is paramount, of course, because it gives you the freedom to make choices. So is the planning for what you will do with your time, and where you will live.
In BusinessWeek's Annual Retirement Guide, we help you think through these issues. We've tested new money-management services that will help you invest and spend wisely. We've looked at immediate annuities, which can be a good way to make sure you don't run out of money. We've also identified several great mutual funds, any of which can make a worthwhile addition to your portfolio."
