Personal Finance Retirement

When Mauro Guerra immigrated to the United States with his family in 1982, he had perhaps $20 in his pocket and little knowledge of the way things worked in America. Feeling he had been taken advantage of after being charged a 17 percent interest rate on a loan for the purchase of his first used car, he immediately set out to learn everything he could about how financial matters are handled in his new country.

You will be hard pressed to find another book like this one. Greg has delicately pulled together a gripping message that so many adults need to hear.

One of the biggest hurdles people over 50 have to overcome is the mindset about their age.

Today people worry that they're going to run out of money in their older age. That won't happen if you use a few tricks for squeezing higher payments from your assets - from your Social Security account (find the hidden values there), pension (monthly income or lump sum?), home equity (sell and invest the proceeds or take a reverse mortgage?), savings (should you buy a lifetime annuity?), and retirement accounts (how to invest and - critically - how much to withdraw from your savings each year).

Many older Americans today are poorly prepared to finance their retirement years, and such under-preparedness is especially acute for members of disadvantaged racial and ethnic minority groups. Black and Hispanic families, for example, have only a quarter of the amount of net private wealth (assets minus liabilities) compared to White families. Moreover, racial wealth gaps have not diminished much in the past four decades, in part because Whites tend to save more in and withdraw less from employer-sponsored retirement plans than do their Black and Hispanic counterparts.
