Book Description

October 2000 1929175183 978-1929175185
The Scarborough Plan presents a comprehensive, state-of-the-art system for retirement investment planning. Using both professional insight and humor, 401(k) investment advice pioneer, J. Michael Scarborough, carefully leads the reader through every stage of the retirement planning process. The book begins with a working definition of retirement itself, and carefully works its way through the process of realizing retirement goals. Scarborough teaches the reader how to achieve the financial portfolio necessary for a successful retirement plan, and he does so in a frank and functional manner.

In addition to its comprehensive scope, The Scarborough Plan sets itself apart through its attention to accessibility. Unlike the typical thick, dry, and intimidating retirement investment book, The Scarborough Plan was written in the form of an informal conversation with the author himself. Scarborough peppers the text with his own no-nonsense style, sharing insightful -- and often humorous -- anecdotes from his numerous seminars and his work with clients.


Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

One of the easiest ways to invest in the future is to utilize one's employer's 401(k) plan, declares investment adviser and CNBC and Business Week regular J. Michael Scarborough, author of The Scarborough Plan: Maximizing the Power of Your 401(k). More conversational than theoretical, his clear and accessible book helps readers define what retirement means, calculate what they think they'll need to "enjoy a high standard of living, no matter how long [they] live," start saving now and, in later years, understand how to draw on their resources appropriately.-- live," start saving now and, in later years, understand how to draw on their resources appropriately.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on retirement planning, October 26, 2000
By 
Mr. Data (Abingdon, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Scarborough Plan : Maximizing The Power of Your 401(k) (Hardcover)
This is a great book for those who really don't have any idea on how to take their retirement accounts and really put them to work for themselves. It provides world-wise tips on planning for retirement, what retirement really is (or should be), and how to set yourself up properly. All this, and witty at the same time - all in all, a great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Scarborough writes with humor and expertise, May 21, 2001
This review is from: The Scarborough Plan : Maximizing The Power of Your 401(k) (Hardcover)
The Scarborough Plan: Maximizing The Power Of your 401(k) presents a comprehensive and effective system for retirement investment planning. 401(k) investment advice pioneer Michael Scarborough writes with humor and expertise, carefully and intelligible taking the reader step-by-step through every stage of the retirement planning process. What makes The Scarborough Plan stand out from a host of other financial planning "how to" books is its informal conversational style peppered throughout with no-nonsense advice, insights, anecdotes and humor. If you have, or are considering, a 401(k) program of your own, then you need to sit down and read The Scarborough Plan!
