Great book to get you started on planning for retirement.
Derived From Web , May 26, 2022
The book was referred to me by a friend who is a CPA. The book is written by Wes Moss, the host of the radio show Money Matters. It is a quick easy read that will give you an introduction to preparing for retirement. The author uses clear concise explanations that help you understand what is going on and familiarize yourself with the retirement industry jargon. This book will not tell you everything you need to know, but it is a good starting point and tells you where to go to reach the next level of achieving your retirement goals.

Excellent book
Derived From Web , May 26, 2022
I seldom take the time to write reviews, but this time I make an exception. I read a lot of these retirement - based books and this is the best HOLISTIC one I've ever read. If you're the one at the party who is envious of the guy and blustering about his last year's 14% return, then this book is not for you. But if you have got your ego and money under control, have a spouse or partner that doesn 't care what the neighbors bought, and thought that the tortoise was a hero and that the hare was an idiot, this is the book for you. If you are already comfortable with financial terms and strategies, it may seem overly basic, but that's precisely why it is a great book. It captures the basic building blocks of happiness and uses those to make a compelling holistic argument as to why a very basic income - focused financial strategy makes sense and is all you need. Another excellent read that I bought and sent to others since then.

This Book provides advice that you would not otherwise think of in the course of planning for your retirement.
Derived From Web , May 26, 2022
While I have been carefully planning for retirement, this book provided me with additional things to do to prepare for my retirement. The book made me focus on a few areas of finance that I had not thought about and because of this new focus I will be all the better for a comfortable retirement. In other words, even if you think that you have your retirement completely planned, this book will provide you with additional considerations that can strengthen your retirement future. I did recommend to a friend who was deciding whether to retire early.

Great Book with Specific Guidance
Derived From Web , Aug 20, 2021
I enjoyed reading this book really ''. I have spent a lot of time looking at books on self help ''. Always looking for the productive and GROW out there. My wife and I have been on a crash course of getting out of debt, helping our children in their debt to survive and not just survive in under 15 years. This book introduced a new perspective and some skills I need to consider seriously and develop. Thanks for the time you took to write this book.

Excellent book with practical advice
Derived From Web , Apr 2, 2021
I'm a ways off from retiring and being Pandemic, I have been thinking about how I can retire earlier. It is like the book was written for me. The advice is valuable, well organized and practical for every penny. For many years, I have been a Suzie Orman fan and have all her books. I was not sure that I would learn something new, but Wes Moss did not disappoint. I highly recommend this book for all ages, because the sooner you start doing the strategies, the shorter your retirement timeline will be.

Very good book
Derived From Web , Apr 8, 2019
It is a different kind of retirement book. He is not crunching numbers like other books. He says : Get a plan first. Early in life, get a plan. Work the plan, find some hobbies, core pursuits, and decide what is important in your life.

GREAT BOOK!
Derived From Web , Nov 17, 2017
The author of this book, Wes Moss, is an investment advisor, author and radio talk show host. Warrior, Consumer Clark Howard, wrote the foreword to this book. The book is well written and organized as well as easy to read. The first third of the book provides interesting information about comparing unhappy retirees to happy retirees, based on the author's survey of more than 1,350 couples. The rest of the book describes the money secrets of happy retirees, including determining retirement wants and needs and how much to save based on these needs, paying off a mortgage in five years, developing an income stream from multiple sources of income, evaluating income investing risks and pitfalls, and a final section on how to enjoy retirement and the key characteristics of happy retirees. I enjoyed this book so much that I bought a second copy to give it as a gift. I recommend this book highly ''.
