This "guide" provides a very down-to-earth approach to planning for retirement. It provides something for everyone regarding retirement. You do not need to have a financial background to understand Jonathan Pond's easy style and sound recommendations. As you proceed through the chapters you can quickly put his tips to the test. In a very short time you can improve your portfolio's performance. Just can't say enough for this book!

1 out of 5 starsGet your facts straight!, 2008-02-07
My biggest probelm with this book is Jonathan Pond repeats on often cited myth about how you should allocate investments between taxable and tax sheltered accounts. He states that you should put your income producing assets such as bonds in the tax sheltered accounts to minimize taxes paid. However, Harold Evensky in his book Wealth Mangement proves this is the absolutely wrong approach. If you want to maximize total wealth you need to put the assets with the highest after tax return in you tax sheltered accounts, this would normally be stock investements and not bonds. Don't waste your time with the same old popular financial press garbage. Take the time to read something that is based upon and supported by real research and statistical analysis.

5 out of 5 starsBEST BOOK EVER!!!!!, 2007-09-30
This really was one of my own personal best investments, which is funny, because he teaches you how to invest for your retirement. The book is filled with witty comments and sage advice. Pond is excellent in all that he does, and I can't wait for his next book! I hear its one for our kids, you know, those college-bound ones. You did it Johnathon Pond!

5 out of 5 starsExcellent "How To" Retirement Planning Guide, 2007-03-15
This book was even better than I thought it was going to be. It had great ideas on planning for retirement and living in retirement. It showed how you can hedge against inflation even if your pension or annuity don't have COLA increases. It also had additional information avialable through the authors website, that is referenced throughout the book. Overall a great book for retirement planning.

Jonathan Pond doesn't provide a financial game plan. He rehashs the obvious information readily available. The disappointment, in the end, is that his advertised website becomes another pay for service.
