TY - BOOK AU - Teitelbaum, David F. TI - The procrastinator's guide to financial security: how anyone over 40 can still build a strong portfolio--and retire comfortably SN - 9780814406212 U1 - 332.02401 PY - 2001/// CY - New York PB - Amacom American Management Association KW - Baby boom generation KW - Planning KW - Retirement income KW - Investments KW - Finance N2 - "For everyone who put off saving, forgot to invest, or just can't believe they've hit middle age with no money in the bank, this book promotes a happy message: there's still time to take control of their financial security and build a comfortable retirement. And the book explains step by step how to do it, from setting up a financial plan to using IRAs and salary deferral programmes to practising smart investment strategies. Baby boomers are alarmingly underfunded for retirement - their average net worth is less than US$50,000. This book should save the day for latecomers to budgeting, saving and investing. The precarious state of company pension plans and social secutiry has made individual investing and financial planning an imperative and this book provides a crash course in the fundamentals of money management."
