Title: The 7% Solution: You Can Afford a
Comfortable Retirement
Review: This book is full of strategies and
advice on how to handle your retirement.
I was impressed with the fact that the author laid it out in such an
easy to follow method. Our financial
advisor is telling us this and that and I cannot really wrap my head around all
the jargon and double talk, but this book cleared lots of confusing aspects of
money management out.
Bonds, stocks, mutual funds, annuities, and more explained in an easy to understand
format. Some of the ideas seemed
technical and above me at first, but as I read I think I figured them out. I always wondered how we would actually get an
income from our retirement accounts and what was the best place to put our
money now. If you wonder about how you
are going to retire I think this book is a must. You don’t have to have huge funds saved to
retire comfortably of course that wouldn’t hurt you. 7% on average from all your investments along
with Social Security and your company pension will be plenty. Even less will be
needed if you take his advice in the beginning of the book and get out of debt.
This is a great tool that everyone should read. Don’t let money management fears keep you
from saving or keep you from questioning your financial planner…remember they
are in it for the money…not necessarily for what is best for you. Read this book and learn what they failed to
teach us in school.
Great tool for everyone who plans to retire someday, BTW that is all of
you.
