Thanks for the detailed review! I'm getting closing to considering retirement, and it sounds like this book has some great strategies for managing my retirement income. I liked that you said it has summaries at the end of each chapter, so I can scan those, then see which chapters I'm most interested in.

The author's consideration of inflation and appreciation makes this book valuable for retirement planning, especially with early retirement on the rise. Your review is straightforward and easy to follow.

Unfortunately, despite the fact the information provided in this book seems very helpful, I will have to pass the book, because everything in it relates to a certain country's tax system and, sadly, is useless in others. I am not an American and therefore am not among the lucky ones to get a guide through the troublesome waters of tax-smart strategies. Still, congratulations on BOTD!

Great review! My husband and I are already retired and have been for seven years. We didn't have a 401K, as my husband didn't want one. So, although this is a great book, it is not relevant to my life, so I will pass.

If you're planning to save for retirement and make the most of your savings by then, then reading this book is a must. Although the book is targeting American citizens, I believe anyone else from around the world could gain so much insight from this easy-to-read guidebook.

This book is a resourceful guide for US citizens who have retired or are close to retirement. Those who are outside the US can still benefit in some way. Thanks for the insightful review. I commend the author on this positive move.

I like informative books that make the knowledge easy to grasp. 'The information is condensed and presented without unnecessary details, making it easy to follow. Second, the strategies and approaches discussed were also laced with specific examples and relatable personal experiences.'
