401

Gina DeLapa Β· 2001
95/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Gina DeLapa brings her background as a consultant, adjunct professor, and motivational speaker to this 2001 title focused on 401(k) retirement planning. The practical focus on one of America's most widely used retirement vehicles is a genuine strength β€” 401(k) literacy matters enormously for working adults, and a narrative or story-driven approach can make the subject more approachable than a dry reference guide. The honest caveat is significant: the full title, publisher, and publication details for this specific book could not be independently verified, and 401(k) rules and contribution limits have changed substantially since 2001. Any specific guidance should be cross-checked against current IRS rules before acting on it. DeLapa's documented professional presence lends credibility to the author, even where the book itself proved difficult to fully confirm.
