review

A great book I enjoyed it A lot of it was not For me, Most of it was how to manage your Ira rather than other investments. But it was very useful book

it's not for everyone but is the authority!

I've read and followed Ed Slott's advice for many years and have found no better authority for the tax laws and rules as of 2021. Most of this book didn't apply to my situation, since it is a comprehensive work, but I learned several valuable things that did apply and improved my knowledge significantly. Thanks Ed!

best IRA information

loved it and would recommend for anyone. most people do not know what they don't know.

Very technical, good reference

This was a boring book to listen to on audible, but it would be a great reference book. It is very technical, and I did not find a lot interesting in it, but then again I'm not much into this stuff anyway. I did find it interesting that they said not to buy real estate with an IRA.
