I was expecting a much more complete discussion on how to manage retirement funds especially guidelines for taking distributions from various types of retirement instruments. Only one chapter of the whole book really treated this issue. The primary pracital advice I got out of it is "use taxable assets before deferred assets".Most of the book (not devoted to filler pages) described the various kinds of retirement accounts. This was presented well and is informative. But given all the definitions and account alternatives, I did not get much in the way of useful advice on "How to turn your retirement savings into lasting income".
