 Too much political opinion March 29, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Material sees good, but you get regular doses of political opinion on profits, "big business" and how wounderful more goverment might be. Tear out the pages of political garbarge and the book rates 4 stars. Oh yes, the editors make a modest profit on the book. Shame ... shame!

 VERY BASIC.... VERY DISAPPOINTED! September 29, 2006
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
As a government employee, I bought this book hoping it would provide some good tips on the federal retirement system. This book may help the new or very unimformed employee, but that's it. Some of the information on government benefits was just plain wrong, which is why it only gets two stars from me. As an example, it states a FERS employee can contribute a maximum of 10% to the Thrift Savings Plan each year. Wrong! An employee has been able to contribute 15% for years and I believe there is no limit in 2006. This is not good information for a book that was updated in February 2006!
