Retirement

Saving enough to retire comfortably, and then to make the money last, is far more difficult than you have been told.

It won't be enough to put a small chunk of each paycheck into your retirement plan and trust in the market. No, the 4% rule won't save you. No, a diversified portfolio won't be enough. Yes, you had better maximize your Social Security payout.

Retirement sets out the truth about what it takes to save for a comfortable retirement and the key mistakes to avoid. Every investment strategy is vulnerable to failure. And every investment strategy can work if you save enough money. Authors Edward F. McQuarrie and William J. Bernstein, a legendary voice in the investment world, pull back the curtain on 200 years of market history to reveal the hard, unvarnished truth about how much you really need to save for retirement and the best ways to do it.

This book will give you state-of-the-art approaches for stretching out your money so that you never run out . The authors address the role of life annuities, discuss how a ladder of inflation-adjusted bonds can cushion the ups and downs of the stock market, and explain how the 4% rule has been replaced with more robust and successful methods for managing withdrawals.

This book delivers a message of tough love. If you are saving for retirement, you need to hear it.
