4.0 out of 5 stars
Very useful in helping me plan my 401(k),
By Craig Childs (Cordova, TN United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Getting Started in 401 (K) Investing: Comprehensive Coverage (Paperback)
Written for investing novices, this book explains and clarifies the details of investing in a 401(k) plan. It was very useful when I set up my 401(k) account for the first time, and has subsequently come in handy as a reference guide when questions arose. My only small complaint is that at times the material was "dumbed down" a little too much, and the author used generalizations rather than delve into some of the specifics of investing for retirement.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Practical and easy to understand,
By A Customer
This review is from: Getting Started in 401 (K) Investing: Comprehensive Coverage (Paperback)
I usually throw away the material from my human resource department about benefits because it's so difficult to understand. On the other hand, this book really helped me to decide how much money I should be contributing to my 401(k) plan and how to choose my allocations. This is a useful book for all employees with 401(k) plans.
