Summary: I was amazed at how un-prepared i was for retirement
Review: I am 45 years old and after seeing the amazing david shapiro on your world with cavalto I relized how much trouble I was in. So as soon as I could I went to my local bookstore and bought myself a copy. By now I have probly read it 5 times and each time I find a new way to prepare myself. I was listening to my accountant and I feel that this book has prepared me for retirement so good that I might even be able to retire ealier than my accountant had said. After reading this book I fired my accountant and am saving money quicker than ever and at this rate making 150,000 a year I can retire by age 55. I would definately highly recommend this book.

Summary: Just the right balance
Review: This book by David Shapiro strikes just the right balance between being two technical and too vague about how to plan for retirement. David hits you right between the eyes with the realities that face those who procrastinate in taking retirement planning seriously. However, the planning process that he outlines and the encouragement that he gives makes you confident that it's never too late to start...but START! It's just a great book that I plan on giving each of my children for Christmas.

Review: This book is a must-have for all people who want to retire comfortably and in style. The author is funny (very witty) and makes the process of understanding retirement easy, even for the average layperson. It's a keeper.
