Ultimately, this book will help you cut through the BS and put you back in charge.

I am not the kind of person who usually reads books on financial planning. However, I enjoyed this one. Because of longevity, many people retire for up to thirty years! It is important to plan, and this book helps an ordinary person start doing that. As he says, “Finance is a lot like fitness: it only works when applied consistently over many years.”
It’s a short book about some social security advice. It’s not about investment or asset creation, it’s just about the legal options we can use to leave a will, use trusts, select a retirement option, and things that would take an article to explain. It has nothing to keep it simple and definitely nothing to make it big. The author have been advised to change the title and instead he updated the text with no success. I know that because he says so in the end. Shameful. The only good thing is that I was able to try new reading technics to read it fast.
