   Summary: Brain Surgeon
Once of these individuals is employed as a reporter with the Wall Street Journal. Unless there is information to the contrary, Ms Greene has no expertise in the field therefore the attempt to compile such a book is a shot in the dark and the opinion very likely should not be considered serious or relied on. Next time perhaps she will write about brain surgery. Would take advice from a person who had no training in the field of medicine if your life depended upon it? For a retiree whose life does depend on their ability to earn greater than inflation but who would need assurance if the market when completely south should be weary of taking advice from a novice. As a Certified Estate Planner it takes many years to achieve the knowledge needed to give such advice. I think I will write a book on how to build a guided missile but hope that no one takes me seriously.

   Summary: Ecologically speaking, a WASTE of good trees!
Ecologically speaking, this book was a waste of good trees. I'm only sorry Amazon doesn't have a zero stars category. I begrudgingly had to give this book a 1 star rating! I would retitle it "Too Big To Flush"! Do not buy it and do not waste your valuable time reading it. These reporters for The Wall Street Journal don't have a clue about what they write. It is clear they are pushing an agenda but it isn't in YOUR best interest. The only ones enjoying the advice given here are the authors, Kelly Greene and Glen Ruffenach, who are laughing at us all the way to the bank while the vulnerable public gets long term screwed by their misleading advice. I have read all the reviews and I feel sorry for the poor duped people that gave this book a positive review. My advice is stick with advice from proven experts: Gregory Baer & Gary Gensler, Suze Orman, Arthur Levitt, Charles Gasparino, to name just a few! Most of what I found here was bad advice.

   Summary: I am a Financial Advisor and this is the worst book ever!
I've been a financial advisor for 14 years and have a very successful practice and a radio show. This is the worst book I've ever read concerning planning for retirement! The authors opinions on annuities are totally off base and wrong. Too bad these low level writers are allowed to influence the general public with incorrect assumptions and bad advice. Unfortunately, unless you're in my field, you do not realize this is bad advice. These authors have never had a real client nor are they even licensed to give the advice they give. You'd be better off asking your plummer for retirement advice. He knows just as much or more than these clowns. Don't waste your money! And shame on the Wall Street Journal for wrongly informing the public. You're supposed to be a respectable publication.

   Summary: An Oxymoron
I feel this book is somewhat of an oxymoron. Kelly Greene who gives financal advice with no financial training or professional licenses has no value. The subject matter is vague and unbias. I would strongly not recommend this book to guide the future security of retirees.

   Summary: Where's the expertise?
This book is authored by a Wall Street Journal reporter and her boss. They are not licensed financial professionals. Each and every State has strict licensing requirements to protect you, the public, from this very thing - generalizations that do not address a person's unique set of financial circumstances. Frankly, I'm shocked that the Wall Street Journal has put its name on such a charade.
