Cracking Your Retirement Nest Egg: 25 Things You Must Know Before You Tap Your 401(k), IRA, or Other Retirement Savings Plan

by Margaret A. Malaspina Narrated by Celeste Lawson

Overview

Whatever you have-or haven't-put away, if you are getting serious about retirement, this book can show you the right moves to make and the pitfalls to avoid.

You may not be sure where to allocate your investments or how to structure a comfortable income that won't run out. You may never have heard of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that can make retirement savings-capital gains and income-tax free, if you can control what you earn in your last year before retiring. By understanding what you have to decide and when, you can move into retirement on solid financial ground. The cost of not knowing the rules and of missing key deadlines is too high.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

Financial advisor Malaspina (Don't Die Broke), former vice president of Fidelity, provides a super guide to making the right moves and avoiding the possible pitfalls when considering retirement. She focuses on where to allocate investments and how to structure a comfortable income that won't run out. Based on an assumption that listeners have been heeding investment strategies over time, the author targets the interests of those nearing retirement who may be wondering how to control what they have and how to move in that direction onto solid financial ground. Malaspina organizes the valuable information into 25 short chapters on the basics of plan types, organizing investments, avoiding taxes, investing in plan assets, and "special situations" such as domestic partnerships, inheritance, company stock, and estate planning. The solid, professional narration by Celeste Lawson maintains listener interest in this work, which highlights important areas of concern to those fortunate to be able to retire. Highly recommended for all public libraries. Dale Farris, Groves, TX Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
