This Chicago retirement resource does not have financial information. That did not bother me because I do not need that type of information. At the time of the Lit Fest I had not decided on retiring but ended up doing so earlier this month. This book has some great information on things to do and see in Chicago. However, since I have a mobility impairment most of these activities are not within the realm of possibility for me. I was disappointed. There is tons of information on a wide variety of activities for healthy folks and the TABs (temporarily able bodied as we call them in the disability community), but leaves out accessibility information entirely.
While I am disappointed with the book, I realize that only someone with a disability would be able to write such a guidebook for people with disabilities. I wonder whether I should fill in this gap and write my own retirement resource book for my community. After all, I already know what is possible and would not have to do much research. However, I am not feeling the oomph right now for writing a book. Perhaps later.
Since this book has a lot of good ideas for things to become involved with I will rate the book a 3 out of 5 stars.
