The author, Robert Lamoreaux, is a successful attorney who has specialized in estate and financial planning for the past 35 years. If that doesn't qualify him to give retirement advice, he's raised 14 children--a stretch for anyone's budget. He must know what he's talking about!
Winning or Losing the Financial and Retirement Race is a concise little advice book. The author mixes personal observations and encouragement with sound financial advice in hopes of moving the reader toward a better financial position for retirement. He explains, in as easy-to-understand language as is possible for this subject, estate planning tools like trusts, wills and power of attorney as well as financial boogiemen like net worth and mutual funds while keeping the charts and graph to a blessed minimum!
There is dedicated space at the end of each section for the reader to jot down notes. In the last two chapters Lamoreaux dissects the things that make up the quality life at any age, but particularly the quality of life approaching and during retirement.
Armchair Interviews says: Ideal book for anyone "planning" for retirement.
