        Book Description

        Retire Secure! tackles the number one fear facing most IRA and retirement plan owners:  running out of money too soon. Lange, a nationally recognized IRA expert, offers specific and practical strategies to successfully navigate the three stages of retirement planning: accumulation, distribution, and estate planning.

        Retire Secure! explains the tax advantages and long term wealth building strategies of selectively and strategically putting money into IRAs, Roth IRAs, 401(k)s, Roth 401(k)s and the myriad other retirement plan options available to individuals working in the corporate world, the non-profit sector, as well as individual proprietors. The book proves that putting money into tax advantaged retirement plans beats “traditional saving” in the after-tax environment.

        The book sheds new light on best practices for spending your IRA and retirement plan dollars and your traditional savings. Many readers will be surprised to discover that the order in which assets are spent is not a trivial consideration—it can make or break the bank.

        It also outlines Lange’s exceptional estate plan–a plan that has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and many other fine financial journals.

        The book offers financial planning strategies and tactics in plain English that everyone can understand—and using humor and interesting characters in real life situations the book escapes the dreaded dry financial tome tone. For example, Chapter 1 offers a great mini case study that charts the financial destiny of Mr. Pay Taxes Later and Mr. Pay Taxes Now. Both start saving when they are age 30, but when Mr. Pay Taxes Now reaches age 90, he is broke, while Mr. Pay Taxes Later has $1,946,949 left. Chapter 8 is devoted to a complete case study of “Eddie’s and Emily’s” entire retirement decision making process.

        The book is endorsed by more than 31 leading financial experts including Charles Schwab, and Roger G. Ibbotson, Yale Professor and perhaps the world’s foremost authority on asset allocation. As a bonus, readers who purchase this book can receive a free information-packed CD.

        " Retire Secure! is your playbook for winning the retirement game and beyond. It shows you how to capitalize on little known provisions of the tax law that will make your retirement savings last several lifetimes, leveraging your hard earned money into a family legacy. Best of all, you can rely on the advice here since it is written by one of the nation's leading retirement tax planning authorities.” Ed Slott, Author Parlay Your IRA into a Family Fortune and

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent book on financial planing and retirement.......2007-06-12

        Bravo!

        This book is a must read if you're planning to retire wealthy, or at least securely.

        And...

        Every college student should be required to study this book carefully if they want to avoid all the common mistakes and money pitfalls that 98% of us fall into. I wish I had read this when I was in college... I would be $100,000 wealthier.

        5 out of 5 stars What everyone needs to read and understand to make the best retirement decisions.......2007-01-03

        James Lang has had so much excellent advice for my husband and me that we purchased 7 copies for our adult children and are hopeful they will benefit from the knowledge in the books and cds.

        5 out of 5 stars Retire Secure-Solid Advice For All.......2006-10-21

        Reading "Retire Secure" will not alone make you rich. However, if you read and follow Mr. Lange's advice, you will build wealth and then protect it to the fullest extent possible. The book outlines a very clear path to maximize savings using the most effective vehicle available to you. Then it goes on to provide a thorough roadmap to minimizing your tax consequences and maximizing your after tax returns. Finally the book provides several different strategies for passing along wealth to your heirs while once again factoring in the greedy hands of Uncle Sam. The author not only provides you with the theory, as many financial planners do, but backs up his recommendations with solid proofs and confirms them with amusing case studies. Overall this book is an excellent source for information on the use of retirement funds for wealth building and hopefully inheritance to pass on.

        5 out of 5 stars Good for Advisors and Investors.......2006-10-11

        James Lange's Retire Secure, offers great techniques to help persons planning for retirement. He is on the right track - to postpone and minimize the impact of taxes - in order to maximize the retiree's money and extend the spendable income. This book makes a valuable contribution to the field of personal finance - for both the consumers and the professional advisors who serve them.

        5 out of 5 stars My Roadmap.......2006-09-19

        I find James Lange's book to be excellant. When we want to go someplace we're not familiar with, who uses MapQuest? Why? It gives us the starting point and the ending point. This book gives so much valuable information. I'll be retiring in 10 to 11 years, so my interest is quite serious. I stumbled accross Mr. Lange's website and find that to also be a fine source of information. As a 'boomer' I'm amazed at what the internet has done for our culture i.e. sharing of information.

          3 out of 5 stars Informative but not Objective.......2007-03-21

          Written by the top officer of Entrust, whose business is to manage self directed IRAs, this book is not to be taken as an objective analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of buying real estate within a self directed IRA. Although never actually lying (I'm sure Entrust's attorneys made sure of that), it avoids the topic of fees and lack of control, that are involved in maintaining any real estate investment within an IRA. It also doesn't mention any of the costs of setting up an LLC with one or more members. Setting up an LLC is a likely scenario and was, in fact, recommended to me, by Entrust. Buying real estate within an IRA is very different than doing the same investment outside of an IRA. Given the fees involved with this type of investment, what would be the minimum investment recommended to absorb these fees/costs and still realize an acceptable return? No answers here. Examples of returns are unrealistic in today's more normal market conditions. The author does make some good points, and the concept is really great. But buyer beware. I was so disappointed to come to the conclusion that buying a $350K investment property, using the required non-recourse loan with a higher rate, and setting up an LLC with 2 members (the bank and my IRA) was too complicated and restrictive. This book is an excellent starting point, but the drawbacks either aren't mentioned, nor fully addressed. Basically, the author is selling. Remember what he does for a living. Get your highlighter out and read carefully!

            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 Rothman

            5 out of 5 stars Great Book!.......2007-02-16

            Excellent reference on how to extract money from retirement plans. Gives specific requirements necessary to receive penalty free withdrawals. I highly recommend this easy to understand, plain english book.

            5 out of 5 stars Crucial Information.......2006-07-20

            This book contains must have information for anyone owning an IRA. I had a previous version and wanted to keep current as I approach the magic age. This book tells you how to avoid fines and penalties from the dastardly IRS. Keep as much of your hard earned savings as possible for as long as possible by reading this book several times then saving it for future reference. I also marked many pages for my beneficiaries just in case. Do yourself a favor and invest in this book.

            5 out of 5 stars Very User Friendly!.......2005-08-29

            The book is well organized. I was able to use it, immediately, to answer 'basic questions' to help a relative avoid a costly mistake and, more importantly, to learn 'options' that could help. Though I am an insurance agent, I've had little exposure to the 401(k), IRA, etc., market. This book is quickly moving me to the 'top 20% group' of informed agents and financial advisors. I highly recommend it, thanks to Ed Slott!

            5 out of 5 stars Pay attention to the sub-title.......2005-05-06

            The reviewer plugging the "MarketBuster" book has totally missed the point of this NOLO book, which is given in the subtitle: Taking Your Money Out. The reviewer is talking about strategies for growing your account.

            When you're in the savings/growing mode you're in a whole different situation than you're in when you're having to withdraw and/or live off your account. Going from one to the other requires a major change in strategy and, more important, a MAJOR change in mindset and, often, life style.

            You're confronted with a whole new set of regulations, whether the reason for the change is retirement, inheriting an account, etc. The biggest change in mindset is that instead of the pleasant pre-retirement situation of watching the money accumulate, you have to recognize that you're now going to be watching it DECLINE. And unless you've got a tremendously more than sufficient account, you're going to have to live with the knowledge that you could outlive the account, possibly due to your own mistakes, some of which this book can help you avoid.

            Four years ago I was confronted with making this shift a whole lot sooner than I'd planned, and with getting control of my retirement accounts under conditions where I had little help. Without the previous edition of this NOLO book, I would have been totally lost and probably made serious mistakes.

            Now, one caveat: This book does not tell you how to MANAGE your withdrawals and account so as to produce INCOME; as one should expect from NOLO press as a LEGAL advice publishing house, it deals with the nuts, bolts, traps and hazards of the PROCESS of getting the money out.

            In my situation I also found that there is not a whole lot of good material out there on the subject of managing your money and account IN the WITHDRAWAL stage, and this subject is affecting more and more people, as the country shifts from defined benefit (pensions) plans to plans like 401Ks and IRAs that place the job of investing and managing on the individual.

            It is a whole lot more complex, risky, and stressful than most people realize, especially considering the general abysmal education (lack of) even young people receive on the subject, let alone people my age who were raised to count on pensions, etc. (And thank goodness for Social Security, which while far from adequate, can still supply a firm base of about 30 to 50% of a retirement income; although that's another issue)

            So I recommend this book as essential for the basic procedures, but you will also need additional information on how to manage your income account(s). Personally, in addition to a good fee based financial planner, I found invaluable help from folks who have actually been doing the job for years, especially in the forums of Morningstar, for example. But you have to be on constant alert for scamsters and the whole "how to be a billionaire" publishing crowd. You're going to have to invest some serious time and effort in educating yourself for a the whole new job of retirement, and this book is an excellent place to start, preferably BEFORE you actually have to start TAKING YOUR MONEY OUT.

            5 out of 5 stars A practical, easy-to-understand instructional.......2004-10-12

            Now in an updated and expanded sixth edition, IRAs, 401(k)s & Other Retirement Plans is a solid guide written especially for lay readers to better understand the types of retirment plans available in America. From tax issues, including taxes on early distributions, to the time at which one is required to take some distributions, to determining one's designated beneficiary in case of premature death, and much more, IRAs, 401(k)s & Other Retirement Plans is a practical, easy-to-understand instructional. Highly recommended for anyone cultivating an IRA or concerned about ensuring that the right person benefits from it.
