Title : The Late-Start Investor
Author : John F. Wasik
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Here's how to retire well if if you haven't planned earlier
For years, retirement and financial pundits have presented their mandates for financial planning for retirement. Unfortunately, for most of us, we read these books as they shower us with guilt if he had not started saving ten percent of our salary from age eighteen.
John Wasik knows better as a senior editor with Consumer's Digest magazine. We are each and all imperfect against the mandated forumlas and ponderous pundits. In this book he tackles the subject for the gain of the arrives or is about to arrive at retirement age having started saving too late which, I trust, includes most of us.
The author/expert allays our fears and then provides the most practical analyses and recommended steps I've read anywhere. And,he writes not in complex formulas but in a straightforward and easily-understandable way.
From his recommendations, I've been able to accelerate my own retirement finance program. I have bought the books for others, each who has told me that they have gained by it.
A remarkable book.

Title : You'RE Retired Now What: Money Skills for a Comfortable Retirement
Author : Yolles
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : An excellent personal finance book for retirees/pre-retirees
You're Retired Now What? is an excellent personal finance book for retirees and pre-retirees, alike. It contains an abundance of valuable information and is written so that the average person can understand it. I highly recommend this book for any retiree or pre-retiree.

Title : How to Retire Rich
Author : James O'Shaughnessey
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 : "Which?" Guide to Pensions: How to Maximise Your Retirement Income ("Which?" Consumer Guides)
Author : Jonquil Lowe
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A good, all-round, general introduction.
You can't normally go wrong with a Which? guide and this one is no exception. I have recently set up my own business and needed to learn all about company pension schemes and legislation.
This guide was an excellent starting point, covering all the major options available to me and clearing up a lot of the jargon. It even contains sections on maximising the performance of your pension.
This is the 1999 edition, but still contains reasonably current advice on Stakeholder pension plans. Considering the often tiresome nature of the subject matter, this is all highly informative stuff.

Title : Live Well in Ireland: How to Relocate, Retire and Increase Your Standard of Living
Author : Steenie Harvey
Rating : 1 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Only for Americans!
I bought this book for my English mother in law who was moving to Ireland but was very disappointed that it failed to address the main issues she faced as a pensioner moving to Ireland.
My main criticism is that it is written soley for the American market and compares living in Ireland with living in America. Secondly it was published prior to Irelands conversion to the Euro so prices are meaningless to the newcomer unfamiliar with the old Irish punts currency.
Thirdly it only touches on the social welfare system (which as a pensioner my mother in law was interested in).
Having lived in Ireland for several years I find the Ireland described in the book is quite far removed from the reality of my life in Ireland.
In my opinion this book does not serve as a useful tool to anyone considering relocating to Ireland and they would be far better served contacting either their National Embassy in Ireland or a local Citizens Information Centre situated in all major towns and cities throughout the country.
If you are American, can convert from punts to Euro and are not considering availing of any form of social welfare, then this book could be useful. If you do not fit these criteria, forget it.

Title : Invest in Yourself: Six Secrets to a Rich Life
Author : Marc Eisenson
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : small technics make big differences
It only took me 30 seconds to buy the book after I scan the titles of the chapters in a fantasitic bookstore in middle Taiwan...all matter to me even if I am a Taiwanese who's so different from those who are supposed to read it.The subject is so universal that,after wandering among the shelves for hours with limited budgets, I decided to take it. The book provides us with so many tips and give us so many substantial thoughts and agendas that a man has to take to make himself rich, materially and spiritually. I am so amazed that,even books about the same subjects in the books are countless,this is a real DIFFERENT book which is written on basis of the authurs' financial expertise and their ideas of helping people, withour meaningless preach and crabbs. This book is a real life bible. I am so glad that I have it.

Title : The Three Boxes of Life: How to Get Out of Them
Author : Richard Nelson Bolles
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A profound book for life's sojourners
I first came across this book at my job's library and I STILL use a lot of the ideas and thoughts in it. I am so happy that Amazon carries it because I despaired of ever having it in my personal library - it has great ideas that are applicable no matter where you are in life - a student, worker, homemaker or executive.
