What to expect
Considering what’s at stake, it’s surprising how little we know about the key decisions we’ll face concerning the retirement money we’ve accumulated. Taking charge of retirement savings today presents a whole new and complex set of decisions: Do you accept your employer’s offer of a lifetime pension? Should you leave 401(k) money where it is or roll it into an IRA? What about a Roth IRA? How can you provide for your spouse and transfer wealth to your heirs? Personal finance writer and financial education expert Margaret Malaspina takes you through all the options and decisions that you’ll face when you are ready to retire, and offers sound guidance customized to your own situation. This is the guide that can help you get the most out of what you’ve earned, lower your tax bills, and create a stream of income that will last for the rest of your life.
Critics Review
-
“Offers a fresh take on one of today’s hottest money matters…While most such guides concentrate on actually amassing those future fiscal resources in the first place, Malaspina shows instead how to maximize what you’re (hopefully) already building so you’ll (hopefully) always have what you need…In clear, highly focused chapters, she offers solid suggestions for creating a lasting retirement income, lowering potential taxes, and building an estate worth passing along.”
Amazon.com, editorial review

“This aptly named book, written by seasoned financial journalist Margaret Malaspina, is…filled with minute details, such as estimating longevity and comparing payouts. Geared towards people about age 55, it features interviews with several financial planners for advice on topics such as beneficiaries and IRA.”
