The hard truth is that no matter how much you save, you are likely to outlive your money or watch it be taxed into oblivion. But when traditional retirement distribution strategies won't provide sufficient income in the face of higher taxes, what can you do?

Today people worry that they're going to run out of money in their older age. That won't happen if you use a few tricks for squeezing higher payments from your assets - from your Social Security account (find the hidden values there), pension (monthly income or lump sum?), home equity (sell and invest the proceeds or take a reverse mortgage?), savings (should you buy a lifetime annuity?), and retirement accounts (how to invest and - critically - how much to withdraw from your savings each year).

Publisher's Summary
Brenda, Kevin, and the kids were stuck.... Brenda had taken a 20 percent pay cut and was told by her boss she should feel "lucky to still have a job".
But they were already living paycheck to paycheck. How were they going to get by with 20 percent less income?
Move. Brenda was offered a great job six states away. They'd have to sell the house, though. But they didn't have much equity. The few offers they received were lower than what they owed. Can't sell a house if you can't pay off your loan.
And then Brenda was in a wreck. She didn't die, but she was hurt...badly. Kevin was not prepared. Things were falling apart.
If only someone, somewhere, would have shown them a better way....
Could this happen to you? Maybe not. But why take the chance?
Do you always seem to have more money going out then coming in? Debt never seems to go down? Costs a lot of money to raise the kids, doesn't it? And you’re supposed to save for retirement! Never mind having this thing called an “emergency fund”.
How do you do all this and pay the bills? What happens if you lose your job or get hurt, or your pay doesn’t keep up with your spending? It’s nerve wracking.
I know it. I’ve been there, too. And while there are no magical solutions, there are some strategies overlooked by most Americans, and their financial advisors, I share with you.

Rich. Wealthy. Well-heeled. Moneyed. Affluent. Not bad — but why not get Stacked instead? If you’ve ever dreamed of a basic philosophy of money that’ll help you live bigger, be bolder, and laugh harder, you need this book. In these uncertain times, the basics matter more than ever. But for most of us, concepts such as investing, budgeting, and getting out of debt just don’t float our boats (or 150-foot yachts) — and so we put them off longer than we should.
