67/100
👎 Skip It
McKnight tackles two real retirement risks, rising taxes and outliving your savings, with a clear step-by-step plan that financial pros generally respect. But several reviewers note it reads partly as an advertisement for fixed index annuities and universal life insurance, sometimes leaving out fuller context on alternatives, so listen with your skepticism dial turned up. Marc Cashman's Penguin-produced narration is polished and easy to follow, at least.
