Praise and Endorsements for “How Not To Go Broke At 102: Achieving Everlasting Wealth”
“Those in the aging field see firsthand and up-close that life spans are getting longer. Whether you are a baby boomer or younger, you must ensure your retirement savings are similarly increasing and that you never suffer the social isolation of so many of our elderly clients. Adriane Berg’s book provides practical advice on how to achieve long-term financial security and healthy independence. She is as interesting a writer as she is a speaker.”
– Enid A. Borden, President & CEO, Meals On Wheels Association of America
“Wow! This is timely, must-read information for every generation of a family aware that its seniors are likely to live longer and still expect life-long comfort and security! Readers should be confident to know that author Adriane Berg has the legal, financial and practical credentials to provide that assurance. Read, apply and enjoy!”

“Every Woodstocker, whether at White Lake in 1969 or just a viewer of the movie, should pick up Adriane Berg’s “longevity survival” book and leaf through the wisdom she has collected in one place. Each and every page is filled with pragmatic, humanistic knowledge and guidance that will help those who share the Woodstock spirit to maintain—and expand upon—our eccentric lifestyles until we go to the Great Beyond. As one who has lived through caregiving for my own parents, I fully appreciate and can apply Adriane’s essential advice to creating a plan for the rest of my own life.”

“Adriane Berg ties it all together with How to Not Go Broke at 102. Whether you are young or just young-at-heart, her advice will keep you healthy, wealthy and wise. From new Mom’s to visiting grandparents, Adriane Berg’s guidance on universal design is the missing link for longevity. Smartly designed, accessible and attractive homes work for every age and physical condition.”
— Tom Kraeutler, Nationally Syndicated Radio Host and author of My Home, My Money Pit: Your Guide to Every Home Improvement Adventure.
“Kudos to Adriane Berg for recognizing that the relevant 21st Century personal and financial challenge is longevity planning rather than old-school “retirement” planning, because Boomers will not retire like their parents and grandparents did (and many will never retire at all). In her enjoyable and expert writing style she explores how longevity shapes our work, pensions, family, and housing. Indeed, the “Longevity and Your Home” section is itself worth the price of admission. Berg explores the innovative “real estate IRA” showing how you can buy your retirement dream home using the money inside your IRA. She carefully explains legal constraints (you can’t live in the house until after it becomes an IRA distribution) and financial considerations (the IRA distribution of an appreciated real estate asset is taxed as regular income, not as capital gains). The result is that your longevity planning now includes an exciting new set of possibilities.”
