The Retirement Myth: What You Must Know Now to Prosper in the Coming Meltdown of Job Security, Pension Plans, Social Security, the Stock Market, Hou Customer Review: Long in the tiooth
The Retirement Myth is a good book. The silver bullet theory is a real eye opener. By the way, this book can be used by all generations of people. Mr Karpel does a good job in incorporating much data into his book. He does a great job dissecting the three legged stool and says we need to incorporate a fourth leg. A j-o-b. Some points in his book are debatable such as employers providing resources to “old” people so they do not become “outdated”. Clearly it is the responsibility of each individual to continually add to their skills. Alas, Mr. Karpel then proceeds to indicate the stock market as the future for investment income. This is ironic because he states how the “market” will be affected by the baby-boomers. He should have asked for a co-author for ideas on how to sure up income for the future. A great book for that is Richest Man in Babylon. Mr. Karpel does get his point across about retirement being a myth. Now one must continue to read to learn more on how to prepare for the future.
Customer Review: Still the best book about the coming retirement crisis.
I have read this book three times and taken detailed notes. After 11 years it is still the best book about the impending Boomer retirement crisis and how to prepare. Very well written and funny. This book is an absolute must read regardless of your age.

Boomer or Bust: Your Financial Guide to Retirement, Health Care, Medicare, and Long-Term Care

Boomer or Bust: Your Financial Guide to Retirement, Health Care, Medicare, and Long-Term Care Customer Review: Give it a try before you buy
I may well be alone here, but I failed to find the author’s style ‘humorous and engaging.’ I found it awkward and off putting. So be warned: read over a few pages and a few lame jokes before you commit your money.
Customer Review: Practical Retirement Advice
Important practical advice for those headed towards retirement. Boomer or Bust provides readers the information they need to financially prepare for their retirement. A clear, concise and enjoyable read.

The Pension Challenge: Risk Transfers and Retirement Income Security

The Pension Challenge: Risk Transfers and Retirement Income Security This book, the first in a new series produced by the Pension Research Council of the Wharton School in collaboration with Oxford University Press, explores ways to enhance retirement security in a volatile financial environment. Mitchell and Smetters begin by assessing the myriad retirement risks confronting employees, retirees, employers, and governments, and it shows how stakeholders can work to reinvent pensions that perform well in a competitive global setting. Contributors then indicate how pension systems can be better designed to help protect against these risks. Of special interest is a discussion of new financial products and structures to meet and manage challenges to old-age security. Examples considered include pension investment guarantees and hedges, adapting catastrophe bonds to the pension context, and key regulatory structures and portfolio requirements designed to protect unwary or unwitting pension participants. The contributors draw important lessons for a wide range of countries, drawing from both developed and developing market experiences. Contributors include world-famous finance experts and risk management faculty, development economists, pension regulators, and pension consultants.

Winning Or Losing: The Financial Retirement Race

Winning Or Losing: The Financial Retirement Race

Customer Review: Highly recommended.
Successful attorney and estate/financial planning specialist Robert Lamoreaux, JD, presents Winning or Losing the Financial & Retirement Race, a straightforward guide primarily to the financial aspects of one’s retirement that also touches briefly on more general advice such as how to keep family connections strong. Winning or Losing the Financial & Retirement Race stands out because it presents its wisdom in plain and simple, no-nonsense terms that even a financial novice can readily grasp. The author testifies directly from his own experience, resulting in an invaluable resource; its discussion of estate planning is a superb primer not just for impending retirees, but also for anyone with assets, since the end of life can unfortunately strike at any time. One example of Lamoreaux’s folksy yet utterly serious wisdom concerns the practice of parents disinherting their children: “Disinheritance always destroys relationships. If you have a child who has made some bad choices and has a special problem that upsets you, such as being a spendthrift or using drugs, see your attorney. An attorney can place provisions in a Trust that will provide for the child, yet not support the habits, without disinheritance.” Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Author takes fear out of the unknown
Reviewed by Debra Gaynor for Reader Views (12/06)

Mr. Lamoreaux is a knowledgeable estate planner with more than 35 years of experience in the financial field. He offers his wisdom in a simple manner that lay people can easily understand. As more and more Americans begin to look toward retirement they realize they must have a plan. Mr. Lamoreaux offers his expertise in developing that plan. Facing retirement is exciting and yet frightening. Life after retirement isn’t always what we’ve envisioned usually due to lack of planning.

“Whatever your vision of retirement might be, your goal must be to have enough assets to enable you to live the lifestyle you want.” Only after you’ve acquired that amount of money through efforts and investments can you retire.

Mr. Lamoreaux simply defines such terms as net worth, cash flow, and budget. He offers advice on selecting a professional to assist you. He defines money as a tool that helps you accomplish your goals and dreams. He explains that debt is a hindrance regardless of what the ads may say. Topics such as Medical Power of Attorney, Guardians, Hospice and prescriptions are just a few of the important subjects you will learn about as you read this book.

This book is well written in a logical and concise manner. The print is a nice size for tired eyes. There is space at the end of each chapter to record notes. Robert Lamoreaux is knowledgeable and experienced in financial matters, and having raised fourteen children, he understands the need for budgeting. I’m glad I read this book and intend to share it with others. This should be required reading for those fresh out of college for retirement age comes faster than we expect. I highly recommend “Winning or Losing: The Financial & Retirement Race” to all adults. You will be facing retirement in the future. You need to be prepared.
