Another Bogleheads Classic October 27, 2009
David Giddings (Delray Beach, FL United States)

Retirement Planning is a complex subject and there is not a lot of good, objective information out there on it. The book is a wealth of information on this subject. The authors have done an excellent job of explaining, in plain and simple language, the various areas which must be addressed when planning for retirement. They receive no material benefit from the writing of this book, so you can trust that you are getting unbiased information from people who are here to help.
My questions were, "What happens when you retire..." October 25, 2009

...do you pay taxes on your social security? How much? (there's a chart). What kind of accounts are the best places to put your money to assure continued returns and minimize paying extra taxes? What about life insurance? Pensions? Annuities? Withdrawal strategies? Just published, this book answered all my questions and more. I have read dozens of books on retirement and retirement investing and none of them are as comprehensive as this. With a forward by John Bogle, the Vanguard Diehards give good advice and solid information.
Will recommend this to friends October 24, 2009

This is a terrific book. I've read many books on personal finance and retirement, and this is one of the best... very easy to read. Many individuals made great contributions to make this book possible, and in particular I think Taylor, Mel, Rick, and Laura did great editorial work to get everything to mesh together into a cohesive whole.
I can't imagine that anyone thinking about retirement wouldn't benefits from reading this book. It's got something for everybody. As a 54-year-old early retirement wannabee, I found particularly useful the section on early retirement. I was also quite interested in the chapters on defined benefit and defined contribution plans. Some of the other chapters were less relevant to my own personal situation, but readers of this guide can pick & choose the elements of retirement planning that are most pertinent for them, and explore the additional resources listed at the end of each chapter if they want/need to explore a topic in greater depth.
I'm a CPA, and every now & then friends will ask me for advice or words of wisdom on retirement. Henceforth I will point them to this book -- it's one I can heartily recommend.
Simply Outstanding October 22, 2009

If you are looking for a thorough, comprehensive and highly readable book on retirement planning, look no further. Authors Larimore, Lindauer, Ferri, Dogu and scores of other Bogleheads, have written an outstanding book on retirement that could not have come at a better time.
Hidden agenda? I don't think so. All royalties from the sale of the book are being donated to The National Constitution Center. Having been a Boglehead for over a decade, I can tell you that their only agenda is to help the average investor learn how to invest and manage their money prudently. If you are tired of having your pocket picked by the so-called "experts," pay attention to the Bogleheads. Go to [...], join the forum and learn with the rest of us.
Some years ago, I read the results of a study on retirement. The study concluded that people who enjoy the most successful retirements are the ones who plan for it. You can't start planning too soon, and the younger you start, the sooner you will likely be able to retire. Get a copy of "The Bogleheads' Guide to Retirement Planning" and keep it handy as a ready reference. Someday you will thank yourself profusely.

If You Plan On Retiring Some Day...Read This Book October 21, 2009

The "Bogleheads" have done it again.
In simple layman's language the good folks that populate some of my favorite places on the 'net have produced a volume of wisdom that is worthy of their namesake.
The information is presented in clear, concise language and while not overwhelming in scope, presents cogent arguments and reasoning for keeping your investments and future retirement on track.
Having incorporated many of the concepts presented in this book, I can say that I am happily into my sixth year of retirement and enjoying every day of it.
Kudos to Taylor, Mel, Laura, Rick and the many Bogleheads that through their contributions made this worthy volume available (without any hidden agenda).
