    June 29, 2009 | 6:17 pm

    In order to understand the value of money, estimates made using a retirement income calculator always have to be projected back from the future to current day dollars as if you were receiving income as of today.

Product Description
This third edition of Arizona in Your Future is a comprehensive relocation guide to one of the fastest-growing states in America and the second most populous state in the West, after California. Completely revised and updated, with every listing rechecked for accuracy, it offers detailed information for relocating families, retirees, and "snowbirds," or seasonal winter visitors. Written by award-winning guidebook writers Don and Betty Martin, it covers essentials such as climate, population trends, job opportunities, schooling, living costs, taxes, economic trends, medical facilities, and state laws -- just about everything the prospective newcomer needs to know. The book divides Arizona into three components: the state, the communities, and the attractions. The state section covers tax rates, automotive laws, and more, with chapters on schools and colleges, where to find jobs, and retirement communities. The communities section lists Arizona's 54 largest cities and towns, with locator maps and specific details on living and housing costs, hospitals and clinics, shopping, community services, and more. The attractions section is a mini travel guide listing the state's visitor highlights and recreational facilities area by area.

crime?
 
Review Date: August 7, 2006
Reviewer: Jim Smith,
What this book leaves out is that the main cities like Phoenix, Tucson have about the highest crime in the nation!
"Like a sunny magnate'?
 
Review Date: December 2, 2005
Reviewer: tea lover, tucson
The first line of this book ought to tell you something--like poor editing and writing. A magnate is a tycoon. I think they meant magnet, unless a miling Donald Trum is luring people to Arizona.
Don't bother unless you're 55+
 
Review Date: November 30, 2002
Reviewer: M. Smith, Prescott, AZ
My husband and I recently bought a home in Prescott, AZ and I purchased this book as a resource for the local economy, job info etc. as we plan to move to the area in a year or so. The section of the book on "job seekers" seems to contain mostly outdated information and refers to statistics between 1985 and 1995 only.

I have been to Arizona about 6 times and I skimmed through the book in search of additional information about the state I plan to live in, but didn't find much of anything I didn't already know. Most of the historical and cultural information is trivial; the climate, economy and travel information is no more detailed than what one could find over the internet by visting a city's chamber of commerce.

The information is also very general as the book covers the entire state of Arizona, so it is not a recommended read for someone looking for specific information about a certain city. This book might be good for someone looking for retirement community information and/or travel information if one intended to take a motor home tour through the state...otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it.

Very helpful BEFORE you come to AZ
 
Review Date: September 6, 2001
Reviewer: Manny Hernandez, Bay Area, CA
I live in Arizona. I moved here in March of 2000, and before I moved in, I got a copy of this book, after having researched all the options in a bookstore. The good thing about the book is that it's an extremely valuable resource BEFORE you move in, and even if you're only considering whether to move to AZ. It gives you tons of figures and tips, ranging from how to deal with the desert weather, to how the state's "lemon law" works, just to name a couple of them.

The downside to the book, though, is the date in which it was edited: 1998. Since then (it's been three years now) lots of things have changed: area codes, population, some laws, etc. If you're looking for a state guide to use for tourism purposes, or as a daily reference guide, look elsewhere (I'd recommend Frommer's guide -it's truly complete and up-to-date).

Almost identical to 1991 Edition - Look elsewhere
 
Review Date: June 22, 2001
Reviewer: Davey Spears, san jose, ca
I first started with the a book entitled, Moving to Arizona, published in 1991, then picked up this title, Arizona in Your Future, published in 1998, and writted by the same duo. The two books are the same! Minimal, very minimal updates, same use of tiny, completely undetailed maps and very bland reading. The "Top 10" reviewer who rated this book 5 stars obviously didn't read this book, just rated it. Please, make better use of your time and don't throw other readers off to heighten your standings as to the amount of books you review.
