Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
There is something inherently comforting about a retirement guide in its fifth edition-- reassuring primarily because of the reputation of its editor--Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine. Who else would have the knowledge to definitively state that Social Security, if unfixed, won't truly go bust in 2040? Or provide a checklist for a golden handshake, the deal offered to an executive or senior management for early retirement? Besides having its reportorial fingers on the ever-changing pulse of D.C., laws, and news, this guide, believe it or not, helps remove worry, thanks mostly to its tone and easy-to-read narrative. Sidebars assist the financially challenged with interpreting vocabulary or timing an IRA rollover, as do worksheets, compounding charts, tables, and other factual information designed to put all at ease. No matter if it's the first or the fifth, invest in this. Barbara Jacobs

5.0 out of 5 stars
Easy to read & very informative,
This review is from: Kiplinger's Retire Worry-Free: Money-Smart Ways to Build the Nest Egg You'll Need (Paperback)
This is a great book for people looking to find out options for retirement savings. There are enough numbers to give you the big picture but not so much to bore or confuse. The numbers are scary (looking at how inflation affects your money) & uplifting (compounding interest tax free/deferred growth). It shows the big picture with lots of options to succeed. It's a great book for people looking into retirement planning but may be a little soft or general for experienced investors.
