 A common sense way to calculate costs. January 4, 2008
1 out of 8 found this review helpful
I am surprised that the book got so many five star reviews. There is nothing mentioned in the book that a somewhat experienced investor will not know. I am all for bringing light to anything about investing though.
An awareness of 401(k) fees - Critical to helping you reach your retirement objectives January 1, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
As David points out in his book, employees should know about the fees and conflicts of interest regarding the investment choices in their 401(k) plans. There continues to be a lack of education for participants with regard to the investment assets within qualified retirement plans. It's not easy for people to know about potential conflicts of interest pertaining to the investment options available through 401(k) plans.
Readers of this book can make more informed decisions about the investment options selected when they know how to evaluate, among other things, the disclosures mutual fund companies provide about their fees and conflicts of interest.
Another logical solution to the lack of information about 401(k)'s and other qualified plans is for people to augment their education by reading books such as David's or by obtaining specific investment advice provided by a qualified fiduciary advisor.
I recommend this book which should help people better understand the financial products they are invested in and the services they receive in order for them to reach their retirement objectives.

A must read for 401(k) participants and 401(k) administrators December 18, 2007

Hidden fees are a drag on your wealth accumulation and retirement goals. To have a better and richer retirement, read this book. Share it with your boss and your H/R department. Don't accept over priced 401(k)'s -- fight back!

The author seems genuinely concerned about people losing money to
unscrupulous money managers. The book is very informative.

Retirement accounts are more important than ever before. With the slow demise of Social Security and Americans' complete inability to save for retirement, the rip off of our 401k retirement plans should be heeded like never before. If you care about your 401K, your IRA, and having a safe, secure retirement, read this book.
Americans are usually about as concerned with retirement planning as they are with the Lithuanian lottery. But that has to stop. Thanks to this book and books like Ric Edelman's most recent maybe people will wake up to the abuse of retirement accounts in this country.
The book is well written, succinct, direct, and holds no punches. The only place it falls a little short is in repetition. At times in later chapters the book repeats what was said earlier.
This is perhaps the best book related to retirement planning I've read. The funniest book related to retirement I've read is Martha Bolton's "Race You To The Fountain of Youth". Race You to the Fountain of Youth: I'm Not Dead Yet (But parts of me are going fast)
