The Truth About Retirement Plans and IRAs: All the Strategies You Need to Build Savings, Select the Right Investments, and Receive the Retirement Income You Want

by Ric Edelman Narrated by Keith Spengel

Overview

From the #1 independent financial advisor in America, ranked three times by Barron's: a guide to making the most of your retirement plans and assuring long-term financial security.

Everyone knows that saving for your retirement is important. Yet only half of all eligible Americans contribute to a retirement plan. That's because all plans-including the 401(k), 403(b), 457, and even the IRA-are complicated, confusing, and costly. New York Times bestselling author and acclaimed financial advisor Ric Edelman has counseled thousands of savers and retirees and has accumulated his advice in this audiobook.

Edelman has created a step-by-step guide. With illuminating prose and simple explanations, he shares everything you need to know as a plan participant: how to contribute even when you think you can't afford to, how to make wise choices among your investment options, and how to convert your 401(k) into income so you can provide yourself with the lifestyle you want in retirement. Along the way, he debunks the myths and clears up the confusion.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal - Audio

11/15/2014
Presenting a complex subject simply and factually with figures and examples the average person can understand, independent financial advisor Edelman (The Truth About Money) emphasizes the need to save for retirement, discusses retirement myths, and offers a step-by-step savings plan that even the most poorly paid employee can use to save on a regular basis. Not only is this book informative and current, but it also offers a very approachable and enjoyable listening experience. Keith Spengel's variable speech pattern—speeding up only to slow down a few minutes later—detracts from his otherwise clear, expressive, and enthusiastic reading. This program will appeal to those interested in current personal finance or retirement savings and spending basics. VERDICT Highly recommended for all public and academic libraries.—Laurie Selwyn, formerly with Grayson Cty. Law Lib., Sherman, TX
