Book Reviews of Live Long Live Rich: Creating Your Retirement Paycheck with Award Winning Retirement Planning
Book Review: Good book
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good book, with sound advice for retirees and near-retirees. It is short, easy to read, and to the point. The author discusses numerous types of investment vehicles and the pros and cons of each; and investment strategies, with pros and cons for each. One potential investment that was not discussed was the charitable gift annuity, which I intend to use when I retire.
I gave the book 4 stars because there are numerous typos, mostly misplaced commas and missing fractions. For instance, the mandatory beginning IRA or 401(k) withdrawal age is listed in the book as 70 _, not 70 1/2. Similarly, the age to avoid withdrawal penalties is listed as 59 _, not 59 1/2.
The book mentions software on a CD, which is supposed to be included with the book, but did not come with my book. There is software you can download from the author's web site, but this downloaded software, while good, will not do the functions discussed in the book. To get that functionally, you would need to purchase the full version of the software from Torrid Technologies for $89 or $169, depending on whether you need individual or couple analysis.
Overall, a good retirement primer for creating income in retirement while making sure your assests last at least as long as you do.
