Synopsis

Whether youre in retirement, just getting ready to retire, or 5, 10, or 40 years out, this book can help you invest smarter your whole life and yes, plan better for retirement. Harmful mythology abounds about retirement investing. Many retirees or soon-to-be retirees have heard a plethora of advice. Take 100 (or 120) and subtract your age to get your equity allocation, put the rest in bonds or cash. Buy only bonds. Buy only high dividend stocks. Or some combination! Buy equity-indexed annuities or some guaranteed income product. All examples of a potentially harmful myth many folks believe to be smart, strategic moves. Investors believe preparing for retirement requires a radically different set of tools or a dizzying array of products. Navigating the world of retirement products and services can be a full-time job. But investing for retirement is, in practice, not much (if at all) different from investing. In Your Retirement Plan, Ken Fisher will give readers a workable strategy to either develop their own retirement investing plan or work more successfully with a professional to increase the likelihood of achieving long-term goals while avoiding common pitfalls. The book will include easy-to-follow steps like How to think, correctly, about investing time horizon. How to better figure how much income you need How to determine if a portfolio can provide that income How to figure how much to save each year to achieve retirement goals What pitfalls to avoid And more. . . . In this retirement planning book that's not just for retirees, Fisher will hand readers the tools and confidence they need to better plan for the future.

Goodreads review by Vaughan on October 03, 2020

The chapter sumaries included in the book highlight how little real content there is. The book is padded out with mathematical models and examples that would be better delivered as a shared Google spreadsheet - allowing people to input their own data and see the models at work. All in all there are b......more

I appreciate the straightforward approach, though it could have had l fewer silly or snarky asides. This was a quick read for me; I finished reading through most of it in about 5 hours (while I was supposed to be doing my taxes). In summary: * figure out what cash flow you'll want in retirement * Dete......more

Goodreads review by Tadas on November 25, 2017

"Plan your prosperity" title is somewhat misleading, because not everyone are making over 100k a year, although it is written from such perspective. For all others, you cannot "prosper" if you don't take (high and much more active than this book presents) risks.......more
