    About this ebook

    Whether you’re in retirement, just getting ready to retire, or 5, 10, or 40 years out, this book can help you invest smarter your whole life and yes, plan better for retirement. 

    Harmful mythology abounds about retirement investing. Many retirees or soon-to-be retirees have heard a plethora of advice. Take 100 (or 120) and subtract your age to get your equity allocation, put the rest in bonds or cash. Buy only bonds. Buy only high dividend stocks. Or some combination! Buy equity-indexed annuities or some “guaranteed” income product. All examples of a potentially harmful myth many folks believe to be smart, strategic moves. 

    Investors believe preparing for retirement requires a radically different set of tools or a dizzying array of products. Navigating the world of retirement products and services can be a full-time job. But investing for retirement is, in practice, not much (if at all) different from investing. In Your Retirement Plan, Ken Fisher will give readers a workable strategy to either develop their own retirement investing plan or work more successfully with a professional to increase the likelihood of achieving long-term goals while avoiding common pitfalls. The book will include easy-to-follow steps like 

    • How to think, correctly, about investing time horizon.
    • How to better figure how much income you need
    • How to determine if a portfolio can provide that income
    • How to figure how much to save each year to achieve retirement goals
    • What pitfalls to avoid
    • And more. . . . 

    In this retirement planning book that's not just for retirees, Fisher will hand readers the tools and confidence they need to better plan for the future.

      Fisher explains his concept of investing, without going into any specific details of companies or tactics. He is outlining a long-term strategy, and does a good job of clarifying concepts and explaining (most) of his recommendations.
