鑒於最近大家都在談論退休的事,在此,強烈推薦一本在退休財務規劃方麵最好的書(沒有之一),是Wade Pfau所著的Retirement Planning Guidebook,最新版是2023年出版的第二版:
這本書涵蓋的內容之廣,作者分析之精細,真是讓人佩服,能看得出,作者絕對是個行家,他真的知道自己在講什麽:
Chapter 1: Retirement Income Styles and Decisions
Chapter 2: Retirement Risks
Chapter 3: Quantifying Goals and Assessing Preparedness
Chapter 4: Sustainable Spending from Investments [Summarizes How Much Can I Spend in Retirement?]
Chapter 5: Annuities and Risk Pooling [Summarizes Safety-First Retirement Planning]
Chapter 6: Social Security
Chapter 7: Medicare and Health Insurance
Chapter 8: Long-Term Care Planning
Chapter 9: Housing Decisions in Retirement [Summarizes Reverse Mortgages and adds new content]
Chapter 10: Tax Planning for Efficient Retirement Distributions
Chapter 11: Legacy and Incapacity Planning
Chapter 12: The Non-Financial Aspects of Retirement Success
Chapter 13: Putting it All Together
內容包括社保、醫保、Annuity、Long Term Care等。 我個人最感興趣的是第十章,主要講Taxable Account、IRA、Roth IRA等不同稅率賬號取錢順序的分析。
讀這本書,可粗可細,他的有些精細數字分析,可能需要花大時間去理解,不願意讀這部分也無所謂,隻泛泛地讀一些大概念也會有很大收獲。
對已經退休的,或者正在規劃退休的, 強烈建議讀一讀這本書,否則是跟自己過不去。讀完這本書後,基本上你再不需要向別人問任何退休財務有關的問題。
幾個月前在Amazon上買這本書的時候,搞錯了買了兩本,本來想退回去一本,發現這書太好,舍不得退,索性寄給了大哥一本。
