Retire Secure!: A Guide To Getting The Most Out Of What You've Got

by James Lange

In the new edition of Retire Secure! CPA and attorney James Lange supplements his proven methods for making the most of your retirement plans with updated information, analysis and examples as well as offers recommendations for new tax-saving strategies for retirees and older Americans. Always a strong proponent of contributing as much as you can to all the tax-deferred retirement plans available to you, Jim makes a convincing case for adding a slight modification to his pay taxes later adage - pay taxes later, except for the Roth. On the accumulation side of the equation, when individuals are working to save money for retirement, he delves into great detail on the differences between traditional and Roth retirement plan options.

Retire Secure! delivers the most sophisticated financial and legal advice in the most accessible of manners. Jim makes it possible for the reader to gain a unique understanding of these stages and plan for them.

[Hope · Rating 4 out of 5]

I won this book through goodreads, first reads.

Now, I'm 22 but I suppose it's never too late to keep things like retirement in mind. I've heard that by the time I get to the age where I can retire it'll be hard and stuff so learning these things now is probably in my better interest.

I've read some of this book as reference to things that I've been hearing in my workplace and it helps me understand things more. I'm glad to have this book in my library. c:

I won this book on a goodreads giveaway. It is fantastic. My husband and I are just starting to think about retirement and there are so many ideas in this book that we had not even thought about nor set up. A must have resource as you begin your retirement planning!

Retire Secure was a bit heavy for a novice like me to read but I passed the book along to someone who gets into heavy financial books and he liked it very much.

[Ricardo Hernández · Rating 3 out of 5]

The main value proposition of the book is to condense a lot of IRS material and information and offer practical advice on how to maximize retirement funds (401k, IRAs, trusts, etc) while minimizing the impact of taxes to wealth. Besides the obvious strategies derived from current IRS, the author offers some good advice on how to schedule MRDs, transfer IRAs, schedule gifts to minimize wealth transfer, and other tricks related to avoid taxes in inheritance, including the applicable exclusion amount and the unlimited marital deduction.

Recommended as a basis to manage retirement strategies.

This informational reference book may have taken me a while to get through but the direction and advice is invaluable. There was much that I had not considered while saving for my retirement, and I am grateful for a resource such as this available to me now.
