Editorial Reviews

Review

"Reading this book is smart.

Solin's previous entries in this series were clever, breezy guides to navigating through the financial morass without getting hurt... This new book gets into the basics of investment in context with the present economic scene, so reading the earlier volumes doesn't mean that you won't get anything out of this one.

...Solin casts his wise eye and sharp pen on other important subjects like reverse mortgages, age of social security distribution, prenuptial agreements for seniors, options and implications of delaying retirement...

The best thing that Solin brings to the party is his shrewd and skeptical approach to the art and science of investing. ...there's no question that his focus is on what's best for individuals, not institutions.

Throughout, Solin writes clearly with style and humor but stays on topic and doesn't bloviate or pontificate excessively. He includes a number of charts and other tools to figure out what to do with your money so it grows into the amount you will need to live on for the rest of your days."
--Richard Pachter, Miami Herald

"These two books are very different in format-Solin (The Smartest Investment Book You'll Ever Read) offers short chapters on a variety of retirement subjects, each concluding with a pithy summarization, while Jason (principal, Jackson, Grant Investment Advisers, Inc.) gives a more explanatory dissertation. But both are clearly written and easy to understand, tackling such topics as stocks, bonds, annuities, pensions, and cash withdrawal strategies (although Solin's book offers a handy section on care costs, Jason's does not). Jason's will be better for readers not as familiar with basic finance concepts, while Solin's may appeal to a more financially literate crowd."
--Library Journal

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't retire without it!, September 4, 2009
By Allan S. Roth "dare_to_be_dull" (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Dan has a gift in the ability to make complex subjects simple and his new book is sensational! Dan does a great job of explaining things like:

* Why the biggest risk is not taking any risk.
* Why stock picking is for losers.
* Why an average return is way above average.
* How you should look at spending down your nest egg.
* What some prestigious sounding designations really are.
* What traps to watch out for, such as the most expensive free meal you'll ever have.

Dan leaves us with ten actionable "golden rules" that can help us retire smarter. This book is an easy and fun read. I couldn't put it down!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Info & Recommendations (But Basic), September 30, 2009
By Elliott P. (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
I've read a few of Dan Solin's books now and I wholeheartedly agree with his message (with very few minor exceptions).

That said, I personally find that his books are best for those with little knowledge (or inclination toward further study) of the subject matter as the material presented is relatively basic.

This is not to say that if one followed the recommendations offered in the books that one would not be well served. Not at all...for I believe that the message is a good one and makes a great deal of sense.

However, for those looking for more in depth discussion of the subject matter covered, I believe there are more comprehensive books available.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good information, but title is hype, September 29, 2009
By Chet Haibel (Langley, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book is written to be read quickly: the sections are short, well summarized by a "What's the Point?" ending, and there are lots of white spaces on the pages. The information is all good and well explained, but I think the title is more than boastful.
