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 : Rich Dad's Prophecy
Author : Sharon L. Lechter
Rating : 2 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Massively dissappointing addition to an outstanding series

Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad" series has become a seminal work for those seeking financial freedom and success. Following the guidance of his previous works I, my family and colleagues have made huge strides in increasing our net wealth and still consider the day that we read the first book to have been truly life changing.

This latest book, however, is a huge disappointment for anyone who is an experienced 'follower' of Kiyosaki. There is very little new and it appears that the series is becoming a cash cow for him to milk money out of in return for repeating previous material. The amount of content regarding the key topic (the financial impact of the change in the US population make up) is tiny and adds little to what is available free through simple internet searches. The tendency to use the text to advertise other "Rich Dad" products is increasingly annoying and adds to the feeling that the author is not really interested in adding value, except to his bank balance.

For newcomers to the series, though, the book could be useful as it combines topics from all of the previous four texts; a low cost way of getting the most for your money. I still reccomend the original "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" as an outstanding stand alone work (for its attitude alone). This new book would add to that nicely as a pair, saving the need to purchase the intermediate series or numerous attached products.

For those of us who have awaited Kiyosaki's output with anticipation, this is depressingly bad and verging on a deliberate rip off. Stick with the original and look for answers to the questions about the coming decade elsewhere.

Title : One World, Ready or Not
Author : Wil Greider
Rating : 1 Stars out of 5.
Summary : An almost complete misunderstanding of economics

Paul Krugman of MIT - one of that rare breed, a serious economist who can write - has famously called this "an astonishingly silly book". I have to disagree: the book is much, much worse than that.

Greider's thesis boils down to the "global excess supply" nostrum - and it's based not only on a fundamental misunderstanding of economics but also on straightforward innumeracy and an inability to think critically. As Keynes tells us, wages reflect the marginal product of labour. Any increased production in the Third World must *go somewhere*, in the form of increased income either to labour (wages) or capital (profits). That increased income must be either spent or saved - so if there really were inadequate aggregate demand (or equivalently excess capacity) then we would expect savings to exceed profitable investment opportunities. Do they? Well, Greider provides no evidence - which is unsurprising....

Greider's economic analysis is thus wrong - indeed, absurd and intellectual disreputable. His policy recommendations derived from his wrong-headed arguments are downright destructive, however. They amount to a recipe for a misallocation of scarce resources to unproductive uses and a hike in inflation. There could be few more damaging courses for the developing world, or surer ways to cut real wages and depress living standards. But then the identity of interest between the far Left (Chomsky, Nader etc.) and the far Right (Pat Buchanan) has never had logic or reason on its side.

Title : Roth to Riches: The Ordinary to Roth Ira Handbook
Author : John D. Bledsoe
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Informative and Easy to Understand!!!

Roth to Riches is a must read for anyone who has ever considered or currently owns an IRA. Written in plain, understandable English (my native tongue), Mr. Bledsoe demonstrates the advantages and disadvantages of both the ordinary and the Roth IRA's. In this book, unlike other books that are also written in my native tongue but which make me wonder if English is in fact my native tongue, Mr. Bledsoe displays a unique ability to explain technical tax and financial planning concepts with candor and clarity. This book is interesting, informative and easy to understand. A bargain at this price. Thanks for the insights.

Title : Senior Savvy: How to Make the Most of Your Life Savings Before and After Retire
Author : Kenneth A. Stern
Rating : 1 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Pass on this one.

Would pass on this one...lots of words but not very informative...

Title : Still Here: Embracing Aging, Changing and Dying
Author : Ram Dass
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Fierce grace

I have been fortunate enough to meet Ram Dass on two occasions including a five day meditation retreat. This book distills the experiences of a lifetime of searching for spiritual meaning. It is probably not the best introduction to him, but it will help anyone facing their "midlife crisis" or having to deal with experiences that confront you with your mortality. Will you "flunk the test" when it is time to leave your body behind?
It's worth keeping an eye out for the DVD "Fierce Grace" (from USA)which is a fine 90 minute documentary with interviews with Ram Dass before and as he manages his life after his stroke - as well as some excellent historical footage from his life in the sixties.
Namaste.

Title : Moving Mom and Dad!: Why, Where, How, and When to Help Your Parents Relocate (Revised)
Author : Sarah Morse
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : This book is well written and informative.

This is not only funny to read but well written and informative. I can't wait to move my aging mother following the Robbins/Morse method. I hope these two are working on another project to print. They turn a sad and serious situation which seems impossible into a can do, workable and quite possible solution.

Title : The New Golden Door to Retirement and Living in Costa Rica: A Guide to Inexpensive Living, Making Money and Finding Love in a Peaceful Tropical Paradise
Author : Christopher Howard
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Great, Great Book!

My husband and I found this book to be a godsend. It helped make our move to Costa Rica a lot easier and answered a lot of questions we had. We saved time and money by reading it. Even after living in Costa we refer to it occasionally. It was highly recommended to us by the Costa Rican Residents Association.
