Site updates.
One entry per meaningful batch: launches, new article sets, feature work, and the annual sweep of dollar figures and program rules.
Editorial records, source links, and next steps made easier to audit
Revision histories now follow one chronological order, every public correction agrees with the affected guide's update and source-review dates, and a machine-readable accountability record names the publishing role and contact route without implying unnamed expert review. Twelve high-intent guides now connect At a glance facts to their numbered references, nine gained practical action checklists, and two moved source links were repaired.
Every guide checked against current sources
Each guide's facts and figures were verified against current primary sources (the IRS, Social Security Administration, Medicare, HUD, the National Institutes of Health, and the programs and agencies each guide describes), with an independent fact-check that reopened every citation. Outdated or unsupported figures were corrected and recorded on the corrections page, and guides gained verified detail on newer rules and programs, from SECURE 2.0 retirement provisions to 2026 benefit thresholds.
A wording pass over the whole library
Every guide was reread against the site's plain-language standard. Eleven guides received small wording fixes, including two garbled sentences that now read correctly; facts, figures, sources, and guidance did not change.
The merged library gets one editorial standard
All 81 guides now carry article-specific tags, an explicit source-review date, At a glance facts, and at least one incoming guide link. Thirteen shorter field guides were expanded with practical decision steps and authoritative sources, then connected to the deeper encyclopedia guides around them.
The merged library launches
RetiredWiki's field-guide edition and the encyclopedia edition became one site. The library grew from 32 guides to 81, every article moved to an open markdown format with inline citations, comparison tables, and an At a glance box, and three calculators (Social Security timing, RMDs, savings longevity) joined the planning tools. Retired guide addresses now redirect to their deeper replacements.
Field-guide edition complete
All 32 original guides reached editorial completeness with claim-linked sources, review scopes, and revision histories.
Factual fixes to individual guides are recorded separately in the corrections log.
