You've Earned It, Don't Lose It: Mistakes You Can't Afford to Make When You Retire by Suze Orman
From the Author's Note: "WHAT DOES IT TAKE to get people to understand they could suffer financial ruin if they don't take a few simple measures to protect their retirement? The answer: financial ruin. In my practice, when I tell people that there are steps they must take to protect themselves, they can't imagine that anything could happen to them. They can't identify with the issues of potential misfortune, so they just don't deal with it.
Each day, though, we open the newspaper or turn on the TV and learn about someone else's retirement woes. There had to be something I could do to address this widespread situation. Thus this book, laced with real-life stories meant to engage you, even shock you into action in a format that answers your questions, explores possibilities, creates a deeper understanding, and gives you hope. More than anything else, though, this book's purpose is to help you protect your future- everything you have worked for, saved for, and plan to enjoy.
For those of you who don't think you have to be concerned about this, let me be the first to caution you. I can't tell you how often I encounter people who pour their hearts out about themselves or someone else who has lost their retirement money for one reason or an- other. In the pages of this book you will find their stories, filled with all the fears, anxieties, and pain that financial inadequacy can cause. These people have agreed to share their experiences with us, to wave a red flag of warning in front of our faces, to wake us up before it's too late. I thank them for that. I only wish I could have reached these people before things went wrong.
Retirement is one of the most critical domestic issues facing our country today. The topic covers a broad range of financial, emotional, and health care concerns that must be addressed. Until we can depend on a system that protects and cares for its elderly, it will be up to each and every one of us to take care of our own financial futures. ..."
