I am enrolled in the Certified Financial Planner designation program. Tools and Techniques of Employee Benefit and Retirement Planning is the textbook for the Retirement Planning module. I found this to be the most useful and practical textbook in the course. It is a book that will remain on my shelf for future reference long after I finish the designation program. The information in the textbook in written in a practical manner. It is easy to understand, well-organized and to the point.

I needed this book for a Retirement Planning class in preparation for a CFP certificate. The book was a better value than from other sources, and I received it in time for my first class. This is my third class in Financial Planning and the text seems to be aimed at the practitioner in the field; so, it is somewhat difficult. However, it is very complete.

This review is from: Employee Benefit and Retirement Planning (Tools and Techniques) (Paperback)

This is a required textbook for a "Retirement Planning" course I'm taking in a Financial Planning program. In my opinion, the instructor made a poor choice. The book is poorly-written and quite cumbersome to get through. This could be such a good book considering the topics covered. But it is so poorly-written that I just can't seem to concentrate on the information contained therein. The only good thing I see about this book is that the chapters are short, thus one can get an idea about various topics, such as Social Security or IRAs, for example. But the book is fairly general, and when it should contain more detailed information, it fails in its presentation. Personally, I would not recommend this book. I'm sure there are much better books on Retirement Planning out there. Don't let the cool chick in her Yoga pose fool you.
