Independent guidance, with sources shown

United States edition
What changed

Site updates.

One entry per meaningful batch: launches, new article sets, feature work, and the annual sweep of dollar figures and program rules.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
