IRA's, 401(k)s & Other Retirement Plans, by financial specialists Twila Slesnick and John C. Suttle, is a solid self-help legal look at a critical back-end issue that most of us blissfully ignore until we absolutely must confront it. The authors themselves admit it is not a compelling page-turner, but rather a comprehensive resource that at some point should prove indispensable to everyone with a retirement plan. They describe the various plans available--including Roth IRAs, to which an entire chapter is devoted--focusing on distribution rules, associated taxes, and potential penalties. They offer details on early distributions used to pay higher-education expenses or health-insurance premiums (which are not subject to taxes, under certain explicit conditions), distributions you must take during your lifetime (when they begin, how they're computed, what happens if your beneficiary changes), and distributions made after an account holder dies (largely concentrating on administrative procedures that could help you avoid unnecessary financial loss). Helpful appendices include relevant IRS forms, notices, and schedules as well as life-expectancy tables. --Howard RothmanBook Description

Don't Die Broke: Taking Money Out of Your IRA, 401(k), or Other Savings Plan - and Creating Lasting Retirement Income
Margaret A. Malaspina Manufacturer: Bloomberg Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1576600408 |
Amazon.com
Don't Die Broke: How to Turn Your Retirement Savings into Lasting Income, by personal-finance writer and financial-education specialist Margaret A. Malaspina, offers a fresh take on one of today's hottest money matters by outlining ways to tap most effectively into the retirement nest egg that you're currently nurturing. While most such guides concentrate on actually amassing those future fiscal resources in the first place, Malaspina shows instead how to maximize what you're (hopefully) already building so you'll (hopefully) always have what you need. "Most people find themselves making decisions about retirement plan distributions with little guidance," she writes. "Few people understand the consequences of their choices--or, indeed, what choices they have." In clear, highly focused chapters, she offers solid suggestions for creating a lasting retirement income, lowering potential taxes, and building an estate worth passing along. --Howard RothmanBook Description
The book that picks up where other retirement planning books leave off. People spend years saving for retirement. But how can they find out exactly what to do with the money they've accumulated? What are the various and complicated options they need to know about so they don't risk big tax hits? How can this hard-earned money be turned into lasting income? Don't Die Broke, in hardcover format, went to a third printing within four months of publication. As baby boomers are faced with financial questions they've never had to think about, they can turn to author Margaret Malaspina for her expert financial advice. Peter Lynch says, "There's not another book like it." Here's how one reader describes Don't Die Broke: "This book was a great surprise. I didn't expect to like it, mostly because I hate the very thought of retirement planning and I approach the subject kicking and screaming. Yet it is time, and this book has been an enormous help. It makes the subject at least accessible, if not downright friendly." There are hundreds of books on saving for retirement and investing in retirement. This book is different. Don't Die Broke picks up where most retirement planning leaves off--and sets the standard for reader-friendly information on a complicated topic. Smart Strategies:
* Creating a retirement paycheck that will last a lifetime
*Choosing the right withdrawal option
* Lowering the tax bill on retirement savings
* Avoiding dead-end or irrevocable choices
* Building an estate plan that preserves tax benefits for heirs
* Finding professional help and additional resources

First thing I read was wrong.......2004-04-18
This seemed wrong to me so I went to the Social Security web site. The SSA says (answer ID 277): "Nonwork sources of income, such as: inheritance payments, pensions, income from investments, IRA distributions, interest, or other sources do not count as wages for the earnings test."
What other errors are there in this book? I don't trust it after 30 minutes of reading, certaintly not to help with my retirement decisions. At least I only lost the cost of the book

How do retirement plans work?.......2001-06-20
This step-by-step guide will bring more understanding to the question of how to build a nest egg. The important principles of retirement plan investing are set out in a uncomplicated way. There are practical explanations to help you make sense of the legal and financial restrictions and opportunities. Charts show a visual representation of where you stand now and explain how you can reach your goals.
Will Social Security be enough to live on? According to the American Association of Retired Persons, Social Security benefits will replace 43% of the income you earn during the year before you retire. This income will also not protect you against inflation, so it is wise to plan for your own future.
Did you know there is a way to withdraw money from an IRA without penalty before you officially retire? See page 18. You might also want to consider an education IRA which is not a retirement account, but a vehicle to help pay for a grandchild's education. This handy book shows if you are eligible and what the contribution limits are.
While the information on taxes is comprehensive, you will still want to consult with a professional before making any final decisions. Some of the tax laws might have changed slightly from this edition but overall, the information will make you more aware of the choices you should consider to make the most of your money.
