Worth reading

This book is all about investing for retirement, children's college tuition, and other goals. The authors do a pretty good job describing different investment vehicles: stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. I have read many books on investing for retirement and they all give advice to readers on how much money a person needs. This author does not do that, "How much money will you need in order to retire? Well, that all depends on what kind of retirement you want." This is so true. Different people live different lifestyles. The same applies one's lifestyle during the retirement. This book also covers different retirement accounts such as 401(k), IRAs, and Roth IRAs. Those readers who do not wish to spend a significant amount of time investing can turn to professional help. Chapter 5 lists 31 top-notch mutual funds that investors can turn to for help. This book provides a pretty good introduction for long-term investing. - Mariusz Skonieczny, author of Why Are We So Clueless about the Stock Market?
