You're Retired Now What?: Money Skills for a Comfortable Retirement

Published in 1998, the 4 model portfolios in the book, and the methodology for constructing them, held up extremely well from 1998 - 2006. Most of the advice and strategies are long-term in nature and not effected by changes in tax and pension legislation.

Just retired and this book answered alot of questions. I always felt that I could manage my investments by myself in retirement. This book makes me realize that I may eventually have to go to a financial planner for help.

As a financial advisor, I've personally purchased over 100 books to give to my retired clients as gifts. They love it. This book is an excellent guide to retirement finance. It covers almost every concern known to any retiree, for example--how much of your portfolio should be used for income? Their logic and reasoning makes it simple for anyone to understand the economics of living off your portfolio during retirement. The case studies are great--real life examples of life changing financial decisions. Thank you Ron and Murray for such a wonderful gift of your knowledge.

Once I started reading this book I realized how much thought has to go into the retirement proccess. This book starts you off in the right place and takes you through the proccess in exactly the right order. I found the book very easy to comprehend and the charts were very helpfull to illustrate the points that were being made. I have read other books on the subject of retirement and I found that this book is very comprehensive and easy to follow.

You're Retired Now What? is an excellent personal finance book for retirees and pre-retirees, alike. It contains an abundance of valuable information and is written so that the average person can understand it. I highly recommend this book for any retiree or pre-retiree.
