Customer Reviews

Buy this book.

I haven't finished reading this book yet and I'm already hoping for a sequel. This book is so easy to follow and understand. The one issue that no author seems to address is how do you create a paycheck or generate cash flow from your investments. Live Long, Live Rich covers this topic very well. And as far as the software that Mr. Rappaport recommends, I've already upgraded to the full version. It's as easy to use as stated. So, with the mouse in one hand and the book in the other, our retirement plan is becoming much clearer. This book has helped us see the big picture.

My broker was blown away!

I just retired and have been speaking with my financial planner about how much income my accounts can produce and at what withdrawal rate I should use for my 401K. I brought up just a few of the points made in the book that my broker had not considered and we are using them as the basis for my plan. Everytime I read a chapter I seem to be able to understand and use the information in discussions with my broker. When I think of a change I might make I just plug the new numbers into the software and see how it will effect my results. It's easy to use and adjust. Best of all, my broker asked for the name of the book.

Easy to use and understand

I have read quite a few books and have gone to several seminars and always left feeling unsure about what to do next. I was searching for a new source and was skeptical about everything but as ussual took another chance on Live Long Live Rich and I'm glad I did. I finally understand exactly what I need to do. The book and software made it easy to get a picture of where I am now and where I want to be. I looked up the software and it is much more expensive seperately.

Clear and understandable financial information

Most books are too filled with financial techno-babble. Now this book does have terms like "Annuity" and other specific financial terms but the good part is that it explains these concepts in a clear and understandable way. Most books just "assume" a certain amount of knowledge and proceed leaving the reader confused. The retirement planner software on the CD is also a big eye opener.

Great advice - I feel much more prepared for retirement

This book brought clarity to how we are planning our retirement. His clear explanations of retirement income, how we determine what we need and how we continue to create wealth made me feel our finances are now fully under control. I loved using the program included with the book - my husband and I could literally 'see' what is going on with our money. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to better understand and control their retirement.
