Terrific book for people over age 40 who don't have the time to devote reading The Wall Street Journal everyday

Book Description
For the burgeoning number of baby boomers, retirement is barreling full-steam ahead. And for many of them, having spent their lives focused more on consumption than on saving and investing, the future is looking pretty meager.

According to a recent study by the AARP, the average boomer's net worth is less than $50,000--far less than a person needs to retire comfortably. The good news, though, is that it's not too late to rectify the situation.

The Procrastinator's Guide to Financial Security supplies a crash course in the fundamentals of money management. In a clear, straightforward way--but with a tone that stresses the urgency of the situation--the book helps readers develop the knowledge, skills, and discipline they need to secure a comfortable retirement. They'll find sound advice and step-by-step strategies on how to:

* Curb their impulse spending and get out of debt
* Set up a financial plan and stick to their budget
* Estimate the annual income they need to retire and use IRAs and salary deferral programs to reach that goal
* Make savvy financial decisions concerning life insurance, refinancing a home, and saving for college tuition
* Develop a personal investment philosophy
* Practice smart investment strategies designed to increase wealth--plus much more.
