The Right Stuff

I found Robert Reby's book easy to read and well organized, with helpful hints before each chapter. I think it's very helpful for those, like me, who plan to retire once and on time! After reading it from cover to cover, I feel like I've got the information I need to go down the right road.

Especially for lay readers in need of sound basic advice

Written by certified financial planner Robert J. Reby, Retire Without Worry: Simple, Straightforward Answers To Serious Financial Questions is a no-nonsense, "reader friendly" guidebook to diverse money matters ranging from stocks, bonds and funds; to the ABC's of retirement planning, estate planning, taking care of taxes and so much more. An easy-to-follow guide written especially for lay readers in need of sound basic advice, Retire Without Worry is especially recommended reading for members of the baby boom generation who are now finding themselves on the brink of their retirement years and needing to address the pending financial and money management issues and concerns that they will all to soon be called upon to address for themselves and their loved ones.

A great gift for parents or grandparents

When my father retired from a long term corporate career he had many questions about stock options, his pensions, his 401k rollover, taxes, social security, medical plans and how to leave a legacy to his family. This book was an easy to read, easy to understand reference book to help him find the answers to his many questions. He may seek more professional financial planning advice, but this book was what he needed to get him started on the right path. I highly recommend it as a gift for anyone in retirement or pre-retirement.

Father with 2 kids needs advice

As a father of two college bound children I need to plan for their future as well as my own and my wife's. Regardless of daily social security and tax law changes I needed a starting place to begin to learn about retirement, investment and tax planning. With this book, I was not disappointed. The information was updated and informative -- simply explaining the differences in college savings plans or different types of IRAs or other investment tools. I am well on the way to controlling my savings...and retiring without worry.

Real-life answers

I liked this book because it has answers to questions I didn't know I had--simple things about index funds, for example, but also stuff about taxes on IRAs that I didn't know about. It doesn't replace the more basic books I have about financial planning and budgeting, but it's a good additional resource. The writing is easy to understand too. All the questions are from real people about real-life money issues. The idea of retiring scares me, but this book helped me see that it's still possible to have enough to retire on.
