Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing . . . pass this one up.
Review: This isn't a coherent book for overcoming your fears of retiring without enough money. Its a hasty and crude assemblage of Brock's "Seniority" columns from the New York Times. Indeed, the copyright is in the name of the newspaper instead of the author's.Look at the book's cover. It pushes the image that we're all timid little sparrows nervously watching eggs in our nests. If I read "nestegg" and "golden years" one more time, I'll need to excuse myself to retch in the hedges.I believe healthcare is a mess and "private accounts" won't solve Social Security's future troubles. But like other readers, I object to material that supports one side of these issues in a general book on retirement planning.For all that, the book's premise is absolutely correct: You don't really need 70 to 80 percent of preretirement income investments advisors say you do. Keep looking; there must be a better book than this out there.
