Title: The Number is a Big Fat Zero - Worthless
Review: The Number is without a doubt, the worst financial planning book ever written. What a cynical rip-off. What a stinking pile of garbage. The author gives us no practical advice whatsoever. This book was a complete waste of my time and money. It's almost like the author wanted to prove he could pull off a giant practical joke, that some people will fall for anything (like buying this so-called book).The entire waste of a book basically says "Make sure you have enough money saved up or promised to you (pension, social security) when you retire." That's all he says. No tips on how much is enough (we have to figure that out for ourselves). No advice on how to save up the necessary money. Not even a rule-of-thumb such as "you will need 85 percent of your working income to survive comfortably in retirement."I have seen one-minute television commercials that were more informative than this piece of moldering compost. Please avoid this book if you can.
