Negative Positive
Title: rambling, disorganized, pabble
Review: The Number is written by Lee Eisenberg, formerly with Esquire magazine who moved his family to Wisconsin after getting a job offer from Lands' End to be their Creative Director. From his own experience and informal interviews with acquaintances, Eisenberg developed this entire book largely around how much people need or think that they need to retire (the Number).Be warned that the author has no experience or expertise as a financial or counseling practitioner and the book, financially speaking, is quite narrow in scope. It doesn't deal with the vast array of financial challenges and obstacles that most people face.Eisenberg worries readers with dire warnings about Social Security drying up and the undependable stock market, which can halve in value as it did in the early 2000s. I doubt most readers will find this book useful or enlightening.
