  • Useful retirement tool for people in their 50s.
Format: Paperback
I found this book so easy to read and will be very useful in my retirement years. I ordered 2, one for each of my middle aged children and hope they both put it to use. It will help them set enough aside to retire on if they follow the advice in the book.

  • Don’t care for it
Format: Paperback
Meh, don’t care for it. Just a general guide for old folks not good for specifics. I wanted a replacement for old Personal Finance for Dummies to guide me thru investing and other things. But this just pointed you in a direction rather than offering how-to or what-to specifics.

  • Good ideas for building up savings every year
Format: Paperback
The income and spending equation is a continual challenge. This book covers ideas to increase savings directly and indirectly. Using government programs like Social Security and Medicare are covered. Some preliminary steps most Americans can take are buying small cars and living in small homes, and then paying about $8000 or more income tax per year to get an adequate level of Social Security retirement benefits. Many Americans are avoiding small cars and small homes (single family home, condo, or apartment) because large cars and large homes are status symbols. ... show more

  • Not Worth It
Format: Paperback
This isn't really about investing - it mainly says to just eat right and talks about how to be healthy. Not much about investing. Very disappointing. I wish I could get my money back but I sent to it to someone who is where it cannot be returned.
