Plenty of books advocate saving early for retirement - but few explain so clearly as YOUR ROADMAP TO RETIREMENT RICHES (SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORK IN YOUR OLD AGE). It covers much more than just understanding options and formulas: it reviews all aspects of retirement approaches, from choosing the best investment advisor and planning estates to beating inflation, locating good model portfolios, and more. An excellent, clearly-written guide beginners, especially, will find most approachable.

Professor Yamshon has written a no-nonsense investment guide which even the casual investor will get something out of. The book is well organized with a high degree of information content. Hey, it motivated me to put more of my retirement savings in international stocks.

Written by a practicing security analyst and portfolio manager for over 20 years, Your Roadmap To Retirement Riches (So You Don't Have To Work In Your Old Age) is a no-nonsense investment guide to preparing for the future. Chapters address such basic fundamentals as the virtue of saving and the hidden tax of inflation, then go on to give a brief look at insurance and estate planning, warnings of unpredictable markets, samples of five model portfolios, interest-bearing securities, information about exchange-traded funds and mutual funds, and much more. As the baby boomer generation ages and social security is increasingly threatened, Your Roadmap To Retirement Riches is a "must-read" for anyone expecting to enjoy leisure during their golden years.

Roadmap is a great primer for laying out your route to a comfortable retirement. It explains why you need to do this and how to figure what you will need. Its a fast read for those that have not yet gotten started on saving for this event. The emphasis is on sound investment not how to get rich quick. The book lays out the basic principles of financial planning, for developing a portfolio on your own, how to moderate risk for the long run, and how and where to seek and get aid. Roadmap does not profess to be an all you need book but helps the reader find additional sound advise and help. A must read for those in their 20's to 50's that have not gotten started in this essential process and also for those that are on their way but need a good conservative perspective.

A simple, yet eye-opening guide, not only for your retirement, but for your finances in general. I only wish I'd read this years ago. If I'd used Steven's advice, I wouldn't be worried about how I was going to make my house payment ten years from now. Absoulte must reading for anyone who isn't a professional money manager, particularly for those of you in your 50s!! Two thumbs up for Your Roadmap To Retirement Riches.
