This review is from: J.K. Lasser's Winning With Your 403(b) (Paperback)

I wish there had been a book like this before--it is long overdue! It is easy to follow and filled with sane, understadable information. It is written in a very user friendly format. The information in it can save readers a lot of money by not making foolish inverstment decisions.

I plan to send many of these to appropriate people for holiday gifts.
