This book, as the title implies, tackles a serious topic with a sense of fun. Baby Boomers are reaching age 65 at the rate of approximately 10,000 per day, and many worry when and even whether their investments will be able to sustain them for the rest of their lives. The field of financial planning and advice is complex: it is filled with jargon, acronyms, so-called gurus, pitches, academic theories, and a mind-boggling choice of asset classes. In this very readable book, author and Registered Investment Advisor Scott G. Eichler tackles the main concepts with clarity, humor, and personal stories from his career as a financial advisor. Scott’s intent is that by the end of the book, the reader will have a deeper understanding of asset allocation, market timing, risk categories, types of advisors, threats to retirement security, portfolio allocation strategies, how advisors get paid, and the author’s assessment of many of today’s popular investment “gurus.”
