5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best book I've found yet on the subject., August 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Last Minute Retirement Planning (Paperback)

I bought this book for a client who is retiring shortly. I have to say this is the best book I've found yet on this subject. It gives practical advice in a short, readable format. So many books claim to show you how, then give simply crummy, or at best questionable advice. There are no magic bullets. There are no shortcuts. As a financial planner I have read many so called 'self help' (more like self mutilation usually) books on the subject, and received many good laughs as a result. In a bull market anyone can swim, but when the tide goes out, we'll see who's swimming naked. This book gives you the information you'll need to prepare financially for the rest of your life. It does not tell you all of the answers (would you really want to read one tha claims to?) but it does lead you in the right direction toward finding them. I strongly reccomend this book to anyone planning to retire, be it 3 days or 30 years from now. You could spend much more, for much worse advice. Buy it, and get one for a friend.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not much new here..., November 21, 2002

This review is from: Last Minute Retirement Planning (Paperback)

I read the first review and thought "whoopee"- I found it!. I was wrong.

If you haven't yet figured out to:
1) pay off your house
2) save more
3)spend less
4)work longer if necessary and
5) don't buy a NEW car, but a used one

then this is for you.

Otherwise I did not find anything I hadn't already seen elsewhere (mostly on the websites for AARP, Social Security, and CalPERS) or figured out on my own.
