Retirement Portfolios

Michael J. Zwecher · 2010
66/100
👎 Skip It

Michael Zwecher makes a genuinely useful point — that managing money in retirement needs a different playbook than saving for it — and his post-2008 framing is thoughtful. But it's dense and technical, and at least one reviewer found some of the underlying numbers under-explained. It's a solid reference for financial advisers, but not a fully satisfying read for everyone else.
