It's a good book to read in the 10 years before you plan to retire until the time you have to start taking required minimum distributions. By the time you take RMDs, you've missed the opportunity to benefit from most of the suggestions Slott makes in the book.
The book is more for a person who has a basic understanding of how Roth accounts and Health Savings Account can help one play less taxes after they are taking RMDs.
If you know someone, such as you parents who complains about how the RMD makes they pay more taxes, you'll understand the conditions Slott wants to help people avoid.

Very thorough, such a good and well researched book. Kind of tough to plow through, so maybe treat it like a reference book.
