Great starter book to understand annuity. For most consumer, only book you need.

[Lin · Rating 2 out of 5]

My edition is a bit dated (2006 ish) but in general, it is very informative.

[Michael Berges · Rating 2 out of 5]

Very very repetitive, could have been cut in half. Also at this point the information as far as additional resources or tax information is outdated.

[Marcus Goncalves · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall good overview, an introduction. Still, a bit complicated, so I’d higher Cert. Financial Advisor, regardless. But, good overview.

Great book! Would not recommend for Kindle as some of the tables are all messed up. Paper copy recommended.
