Retirement Angles

Donald Jay Korn Β· 1994
91/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Donald Jay Korn was a credentialed financial journalist when he wrote this compendium of retirement planning tips in 1994, and the broad-strokes planning principles here β€” save consistently, think about lifestyle, prepare financially and personally β€” remain directionally sound. The tip-based format makes it easy to browse and dip into rather than read cover to cover. That said, the honest caveat is significant: this is a 1994 book from a small press, and specific figures, tax laws, and product recommendations are substantially dated. Critical reception is limited and difficult to verify, which makes it hard to assess how well the book holds up in practice. Worth picking up if you find a used copy and want foundational retirement thinking, but pair it with current resources before making any actual financial decisions.
