5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift to those who want to retire early!, November 18, 2001

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Retiring Early (Paperback)
Great gift to those who constantly talk about wanting to retire early, but don't have a clue on how to start an early retirment plan. This book will definitely get them on track to retiring early.

For those who have some plans in place for early retirment, this book will help them examine their past and present decisions to see if they are on track. Also, it will help them with future decisions to ensure that early retirement becomes a reality.

Loved those "From the Hammock" comments - quick and easy to read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sounds good to me!, May 24, 2005
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Retiring Early (Paperback)
Who wouldn't want to be able to retire early...even if you didn't retire, it is still nice to know that you have enough money invested, and saved to do so. This book will help you do that! Clear outlines, creative ideas, a must read for all of us "Baby Boomers"! You don't have to be rich to retire....

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I was looking for., January 18, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Retiring Early (Paperback)
This book suscribes to the usual retirement formula of needing
piles of money to retire. It pretty much adheres to the idea
that one needs to replace 70-80% of pre-retirement income in order
to retire. The best books on this subject focus instead on using
the approach of how much income do you need to retire with what you
need? In other words, what will you need to maintain a decent
standard of living?
