    About this ebook

    In his acclaimed first book, The Money Compass, practicing economist Mark Anthony Grimaldi enlightened his readers by showing them how their 401(k) plans benefited no one but Uncle Sam. In this follow-up, he dives deeper into the subject and proves once and for all that a 401(k) plan might be the single biggest hindrance to a secure Tax Free retirement. This accomplished economist will give you a guide on how you can improve your retirement with 3 simple steps. So if you would rather "spend" your retirement savings as opposed to "spend" your retirement savings paying taxes, buy this book and follow his 3 simple steps and RetireSMART!

      There are some good ideas in the last couple of chapters, but the "rant" style writing in the first 9 chapters is very distracting and obscures the message (and truthful analysis) of retirement accounts. The author compares investment scenarios of equal amounts in pre-tax and after-tax investments without indicating that the out-of-pocket cost at that point will be different. And of course there are behavioral aspects that could be considered (but are not in this book). Read it for the ideas in the last couple of chapters.
