Book – Don’t Die Broke

---

“A loud and clear message about asset preservation that every American needs to hear.”
from the foreword by Fran Tarkenton

Immersed as we are in what looks like a long-term climate of financial uncertainty, many investors have already endured market meltdowns, recession, volatile market “adjustments,” and ongoing forecasts calling for more economic instability in the years to come. Don’t Die Broke accordingly addresses investor angst, offering key solutions for investment risk and volatility.

The key to author David Reindel’s advocacy for safer retirement planning is the humble annuity, a long-misunderstood financial instrument that is about to see a major return to favor. Why have these time-honored investment tools generated so much controversy in recent years? Don’t Die Broke takes a frank look at those issues, defining little-known perils facing retirement plans for an upcoming era of economic uncertainty. Reindel, a national authority on annuities, explains how they fit into a safe and sane retirement plan in language that’s clear, straightforward, and focused on the needs of people whose retirement is rapidly approaching.

This book is focused on ideas and concepts that will help it outlive easily dated annuity guides. Reindel’s comprehensive expertise qualifies him as an essential teacher for curious consumers (and a “teacher’s teacher” for professional financial planners). Given the historic validity of saferetirement planning, this accessible resource is likely to become a classic in the retirement planning genre, sure to survive the gyrations of market ups and downs, changes in annuity/insurance products, and other elements that quickly date the typical “how-to” personal-finance guide.

This book will survive the test of time—and the time has most definitely come for Don’t Die Broke.
