Customer Reviews

Retire Secure - Outstanding Book

After reading this book I finally have a blueprint of what I must do regarding estate planning. I plan to read the book a second time highlighting all the important aspects of Jim's advice. My goal is to have my sons understand the critical nature of estate planning and how their financial future could be compromised by not following Jim's advice. Great book!!! I have recommended it to all my friends both young and old.

A practical MUST READ for anyone actively planning for retirement

I enjoyed and benefited from reading the first edition of Retire Secure!. My wife and I picked up the second edition, assuming that it would be a simple refresh of the material covered in the first edition, but we were pleasantly surprised. The second edition goes much further than the first in describing some of the most important financial opportunities for tax payers - including Roth IRA's, the new Roth 401(k)s and ways to best give to charities while reducing your tax bill. As a entrepreneur and business owner, I often felt left to my own devises when it came to retirement and estate planning. Both editions of this book have helped me navigate the choppy waters of properly planning for my retirement.

Retire Secure

This book should be required reading for anyone interested in their own retirement income or those interested in providing for their heirs. It is easy to follow but packed with tips and facts not easily obtained in our normal reading. It would make a good practical college or high school text on retirement planning as well as providing excellent advice on estate planning.

An Excellent Resource

As a CPA and someone who works in the private wealth management field, I think James Lange's book is a terrific addition to the fingertip ready, "go to" sources that I utilize when addressing retirement planning with with clients. The text is fluid and easy to follow. The examples are excellent at illustrating points to the less sophisticated. I wholly recommend this text to anyone pursuing retirement planning utilizing IRA structures.

Great ideas for retirement planning

Clear concise and well written. Great ideas regarding delaying taxes and maximizing your investments potential. I recommend James Lange's book to any one who ever plans to retire. Retire Secure made me understand the importance of converting my IRA to a Roth IRA. Part three on Estate Planing had some great strategies for me to maximize my assets for a secure and comfortable retirement. Barry W. Branchville, NJ
