It would be great if we could all retire with a nice portfolio of savings and pension income, without having to worry about paying the bills most retired people pay.

Yet...many retirees are living out their retirement on the breadline without much hope for even going on holiday without being assisted by relatives or even handouts. Don't let yourself be one of them...it's never too late!

Title : Last Minute Retirement Planning: It's Never Too Late to Plan for the Future
Author : Steve Rosenberg
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Simply the best book I've found yet on the subject.

I bought this book for a client who is retiring shortly. I have to say this is the best book I've found yet on this subject. It gives practical advice in a short, readable format. So many books claim to show you how, then give simply crummy, or at best questionable advice. There are no magic bullets. There are no shortcuts. As a financial planner I have read many so called 'self help' (more like self mutilation usually) books on the subject, and received many good laughs as a result. In a bull market anyone can swim, but when the tide goes out, we'll see who's swimming naked. This book gives you the information you'll need to prepare financially for the rest of your life. It does not tell you all of the answers (would you really want to read one tha claims to?) but it does lead you in the right direction toward finding them. I strongly reccomend this book to anyone planning to retire, be it 3 days or 30 years from now. You could spend much more, for much worse advice. Buy it, and get one for a friend.

Title : Get a Life: You Don't Need a Million to Retire Well (Get a Life: You Don't Need a Million to Retire Well)
Author : Ralph E. Warner
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : My favorite retirement book.

Lawyer/consumer advocate Ralph "Jake" Warner thinks the popular advice that implores Americans to save piles of money for retirement is hugely exaggerated. Jake urges us to have built a life worth living by middle age, and tells the stories of seniors who have done just that. He offers advice on many issues, such as deciding what a reasonable nest egg should be and developing a healthy lifestyle. This book will help you find your way to a more fulfilling retirement, while it eases your current stress level.

Title : The New Retirement: The Ultimate Guide to the Rest of Your Life
Author : Jan Cullinane
Rating : 1 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Not quite what it seems

We probably all get caught out occasionally by ordering on-line - I did with this one. It has some good general points but it is an American book and pretty meaningless in many parts. Out of 486 pages 135 are, for instance, given over to a State by State guide of where to move to. If you want to decide how to choose between living in Scottsdale, Arizona and Naples, Florida (or dozens of others) then this is the book for you. Like me, you too can find out the hard way that a much, much more useful book for the retired or retiring Brit is The Good non Retirement Guide by Rosemary Brown - or just take my word for it.

Title : How to Retire Rich: Time-Tested Strategies to Beat the Market and Retire in Style
Author : James P. O'Shaughnessy
Rating : 2 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Started good, but then...

I don't know how to take this book. On the positive side, it offers seemingly reasonable investment strategies for inexperienced investors. At worst, the strategies are thought provoking. At best, they may be providing strategies that will make alot of people retire rich. On the negative side, I am skeptical of the author's intentions of writing this book. He sells mutual funds that implement the strategies (which is not necessarily a bad thing), but the funds have yearly fees of 1.5% each! That is very high for a passive fund. Why so high? All of a sudden, I want to stop reading. Finally, the book didn't teach me 250+ pages of info. It may be good for the new investor, but for one like me that has read a few books (but not done alot yet), it didn't offer alot of new insight. (I just can't get that 1.5% out of my head...)

Title : Wall Street on a Shoestring: Financial Success for Just Five Dollars a Day
Author : Clare La Plante
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Wonderful book full of great common-sense advice

Ms. La Plante has taken a complex subject and explained it in such a simple and concise way. And she has included wonderful, common-sense advice. The first two chapters alone were worth the price. What a great concept, too. Most of us would never miss the $5.00 a day! Highly recommended!

Title : Rich Dad's Retire Young, Retire Rich: How to Get Rich Quickly and Stay Rich Forever! (Rich Dad)
Author : Robert T. Kiyosaki
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Essential Look at How You Must Think and Act to Prosper!

This book deserves more than five stars for its exceptional clarity, authenticity, relevance and eloquence.

Those who love the Rich Dad, Poor Dad books will adore this one. I found it to be the best book in the series since Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

Mr. Robert T. Kiyosaki speaks with the authority of experience. He did retire young at 47 while his wife was 37. At that time, his expected annual income was between $80,000 and $125,000. Many people yearn for early retirement with wealth, mostly because they hate their work. Mr. Kiyosaki was soon back at work, establishing new businesses. Most of his wealth was created after he retired. "I keep working because there are so things that need to be done." So, he has clearly moved from earnings a living, to living a mission of self-expression. That's very wonderful, and I hope you will accomplish the same result!

Although the subtitle says this is "how to" book, it's really more of a "what to think" book. The fundamental concept is to leverage your mind, your plans, your actions, and your priorities to get wealth faster and more easily.

As usual, Rich Dad provides some wonderful quotes. Here are a few of my favorites.

"David could beat Goliath because David knew how to use the power of leverage."

"Cash flow is the most important word in the world of money. The second most important word is leverage."

"Leverage is the reason some people become rich and others do not become rich."

"Because leverage is power, some people use it, some abuse it, and others fear it."

"Getting rich begins with words and words are free."

" . . . do more and more with less and less."

The first books in the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series have been about cash flow. This one shifts over to leverage. Section 1 is about leveraging your mind, section 2 looks at leverage from a plan to retire, section 3 addresses leverage from actions. The book goes on to give you a final exam on your attitudes and a challenging thought to chew on to help get you focused properly: making lots of money with no money to start with.

Now, any book about leverage would normally have lots of pages on how debt leverage works. In fact, that is only a small part of what this book talks about. You will find that discussion in part of chapter 16, which looks at all of the forms of leverage in real estate.

One of the strengths of the book is a fine discussion of how to think about risk and reward. It's not how often you fail, but how big the costs of your failures are compared to the rewards of your successes . . . and your determination to keep trying until you succeed. For instance, 9 out of 10 new businesses fail. But the value of the 1 in 10 that succeed should vastly outweigh the costs of the 9 failures.

The book is excellent in warning you against the risks that you are unconsciously taking. Most people have 100% of their financial futures tied up in government pension and Medicare payments and the stock market. Mr. Kiyosaki correctly points out that this assumption is probably faulty, because there are far more Baby Boomers depending on these two resources than there are resources. One part of the leverage concept is to have more streams of cash flow. He also has excellent ideas on how to reduce risk in your current and potential sources of cash flow.

You are also given a list of good habits to pursue. And top tips from the prior books are repeated in a convenient section near the end of the book.

If you follow the advice in this book, it will be worth more to you and your family than all the other investment and retirement books that you read combined. But you have to take action! Thinking about taking action won't get you there.

I would describe this book as being a lot like Tony Robbins's book, Personal Power, except it is focused effectively on the emotional and mental disciples needed for financial security and investing.

By the way, I have known many people who have retired young with the assistance of being rich. They all embody the principles captured in this book. By contrast, at age 65 only 5 percent of all Americans will be able to afford to live a wealthy life style. Most will be looking for more income. Act now . . . to have a choice of future life style.

Think and live the thoughts that will make you as rich as you want to be! The solutions are there if you look for them.
