Turn your retirement savings into a steady paycheck that will last for life with Jane Bryant Quinn’s “‘how to’ book that covers every phase of retirement finance. Bottom line, anyone on the retirement track or in retirement should own this book” (Huffington Post).
Today, people worry that they’re going to run out of money in their older age. That won’t happen if you use a few tricks for squeezing higher payments from your assets—from your Social Security account (find the hidden values there), pension (monthly income or lump sum?), home equity (sell and invest the proceeds or take a reverse mortgage?), savings (should you buy a lifetime annuity?), and retirement accounts (how to invest and—critically—how much to withdraw from your savings each year?). The right moves will not only raise the amount you have to spend, they’ll stretch out your money over many more years. With this book, financial expert Jane Bryant Quinn, “America’s dean of personal finance” (Forbes), explains how to turn your retirement funds into a paycheck that will last for life.
She also shows how to look at your savings and investments in a new way. If you stick with super-safe choices the money might not last. You need safe money to help pay the bills in your early retirement years. But to ensure that you’ll still have spending money ten and twenty years from now, you have to invest for growth, today. Quinn shows you how. At a time when people are living longer, yet retiring with a smaller pot of savings than they’d hoped for, this book will become the essential guide—“a hugely valuable resource for readers, wherever they are on their personal financial timeline” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Excellent for newbies; nothing new for more experienced investors I had difficulty choosing how many stars to rate this book. It has pros and cons. I think it’s excellent for people who have little to no experience with financial planning. One clue about this is she addresses people who are afraid to buy stocks when prices are down. Any half savvy investor would know that is the time to buy; when stocks are “on sale”. Would you be afraid to buy clothes when they are on sale and wait for the prices to go back up? Same thing. Anyway, I wanted to give it…
NOT what the Title advertise’s I thought by the book’s title that this book is about, how to make one’s retirementNe$t egg last once retired. Or a post retirement managing book. It isn’t. Its the same how toplan for retirement wayyyyy before you actually retire! If anyone knows of a book thatdiscusses POST RETIREMENT management of your NE$T EGG so it last’s, I’d appreciatethe reference. This was returned.
Great book for the average Joe!!! I read some of the negative reviews and had to laugh. These snooty, “educated” reviewers look down their noses at this book cause it’s “nothing new” lol…whatever. She didn’t write this book for these pompous J*** Offs. She wrote it for ME, and every other average working class guy/women that is approaching retirement and knows they need to learn more about their next stage of life.For me this book is priceless!! It opened my eyes to how I need to start thinking. She knows her…
