Customer Review: This is both a very good and very bad book. Slott is a CPA and his bio indicates that he specializes in IRA law and estate planning. The retirement column in the Wall St. Journal uses him as an IRA expert. If you've seen Slott on PBS, you know he is also a pitchman and showman. This book is a... more info

As a financial planner this has become one of the most popular questions that I am asked... more info
Customer Review: I found this book to be very straight forward with excellent examples detailing the concepts discussed. Makes usually dry reading very interesting. Only wish is it explored even more complex tax issues that are "outside" the scope of this book. Thanks!
Customer Review: This is an amazing book. No other book has made a deep and lasting difference on my finances because they all missed something. This book teaches both principles and practical steps, and uses real-world examples (from people they have worked with) to drive the points home. I understand more, and as... more info
