Download or read book How to Make Your Money Last Completely Updated for Planning Today written by Jane Bryant Quinn and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOW COMPLETELY UPDATED to reflect the changes in tax legislation, health insurance, and the new investment realities. In this “highly valuable resource” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) Quinn “provides simple, straightforward” (The New York Times) solutions to the universal retirement dilemma—how to make your limited savings last for life—covering mortgages, social security, income investing, annuities, and more! Will you run out of money in your older age? That’s the biggest worry for people newly retired or planning to retire. Fortunately, you don’t have to plan in the dark. Jane Bryant Quinn tells you how to squeeze a higher income from all your assets—including your social security account (get every dollar you’re entitled to), a pension (discover whether a lump sum or a lifetime monthly income will pay you more), your home equity (sell, rent, or take a reverse mortgage?), savings (how to use them safely to raise your monthly income), retirement accounts (invest the money for growth in ways that let you sleep at night), and—critically—how much of your savings you can afford to spend every year without running out. There are easy ways to figure all this out. Who knew? Quinn also shows you how to evaluate your real risks. If you stick with super-safe investment choices, your money might not last and your lifestyle might erode. The same might be true if you rely on traditional income investments. Quinn rethinks the meaning of “income investing,” by combining reliable cash flow during the early years of your retirement with low-risk growth investments, to provide extra money for your later years. Odds are, you’ll live longer than you might imagine, meaning that your savings will stretch for many more years than you might have planned for. With the help of this book, you can turn those retirement funds into a “homemade” paycheck that will last for life.

Book excerpt: DISCOVER SECRETS TO KEEP FROM RUNNING OUT OF MONEY IN RETIREMENT "Everything should be made as 'simple' as possible, but not simpler." - Albert Einstein Learn from financial insiders and hear from five financial experts about little-known retirement strategies. These techniques can be used to help keep you from running out of money in retirement. We've called the book "Your Retirement Made Simple" because too many people make retirement planning something that is way too complicated. They use too many technical terms and financial insider "jargon." We call this "technobabble." It's not easy to use simpler terms when discussing financial topics. But in this book, we have tried to convey strategies and techniques using language and a format that you can understand. Using "Simpler" language, but not too simplistic. That is the gist of what Albert Einstein was talking about. Have you read any financial books that you never finished? Was it because they were too boring? Or perhaps they were too complicated to understand? Many books are also just too long. In this book we have brought you expertise from five different retirement experts. We have kept the book short and used an "interview" style format which is easy to read. In addition, we have tried to make the concepts as simple to understand as possible. Our hope is that you find this format easier to understand and "simpler" to read and digest. Each of the five authors of this book has some valuable insights to share with you to help you on your journey towards "Your Retirement Made Simple." We hope you enjoy this book.

Download or read book The Power of Zero Revised and Updated written by David McKnight and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OVER 300,000 COPIES IN PRINT, WITH A NEW CHAPTER ON THE 2018 TAX CUTS. There's a massive freight train bearing down on the average American investor, and it's coming in the form of higher taxes. The United States Government has made trillions of dollars in unfunded promises for programs like Social Security and Medicare—and the only way to deliver on these promises is to raise taxes. Some experts have even suggested that tax rates will need to double, just to keep our country solvent. Unfortunately, if you're like most Americans, you've saved the majority of your retirement assets in tax-deferred vehicles like 401(k)s and IRAs. If tax rates go up, how much of your hard-earned money will you really get to keep? In The Power of Zero, McKnight provides a concise, step-by-step roadmap on how to get to the 0% tax bracket by the time you retire, effectively eliminating tax rate risk from your retirement picture. Now, in this expanded edition, McKnight has updated the book with a new chapter on the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, showing readers how to navigate the new tax law, and how they can extend the life of their retirement savings by taking advantage of it now. The day of reckoning is fast approaching. Are you ready to do what it takes to experience the power of zero?
