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).

Retirement planning was simple and predictable 40 years ago. All you needed was your company pension, personal savings, and Social Security. Those days are long gone. Most public pensions are underfunded, and private companies can't get rid of them fast enough. Social Security's own trustees predict it will run out of money in less than 20 years. And most people haven't saved even a fraction of what they should.

Publisher's Summary
From Wes Moss - named by Barron's as one of America's top financial advisors
"The keys that Wes Moss identifies to having a happy retirement are simple but brilliant. Read this book."
—Clark Howard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Living Large in Lean Times
"Financial planner Wes Moss offers you something different - not just a plan to retire, but a way to do it sooner and to be happy when you do."
—Atlanta Journal Constitution
If you think you need to win the lottery or work until you're 75 to retire with financial stability, Money Matters host Wes Moss has very good news for you. You Can Retire Sooner Than You Think reveals the secrets for ensuring a successful retirement - sooner rather than later.
After conducting an intensive study of happy retirees to learn the financial practices they hold in common, Moss discovered that it doesn't take financial genius, millions of dollars, or sophisticated investment skills to ensure a safe, solid retirement. All it takes is five best practices:
- Determine what you want and need your retirement money for
- Figure out how much you need to save
- Create a plan to pay off your mortgage in as little as five years
- Develop an income stream from multiple sources
- Become an income investor
Getting on the fast track to a great retirement is a lot simpler than the retirement professionals would have you believe. You Can Retire Sooner Than You Think provides the proven-effective, five-step formula for creating the retirement of your dreams.

all over the page
some of the basic premises and study statistics seem questionable to me. and some are just meaningless. like "unhappy retirees drive BMWs". the case studies are contrived. there is A LOT of repetition. I fast forwarded a lot. the basic brilliant premise that for every $1000 of monthly income you want, you'll need $240,000 in your 401K strikes me as incorrect. $1,000x12 mo x 20 yr = 240,000. what about the taxes you'll pay when you take it out? my math says you need $350,000. with this premise qnd half the "happiness study" statistics debunked there isnt much fresh innovative info in the book.

Food for thought; pretty general; a little long
This is a good book to get you thinking about what you need to do to prepare for retirement. It has good advise, and puts forth general rules of thumb, and strategies that will help most people. The perspective is of an “average” person considering retirement - as a Californian, i thought the suggestions to buy cheap real estate, and pay off my $200k mortgage in “as little as 5 years” were pretty out of touch - Mr Moss had zero mention of high cost of living situations, which i would have liked to hear. There was a lot of fluff about individual success stories, i think to be inspiring, the book goes on and on about happy retirees, but i think that should have been relegated to one chapter. Book probably could have been much shorter.
