This book describes many of the mistakes people make in preparation for their retirement, and the steps one can take to either avoid or overcome those mistakes. These mistakes include such things as misusing tax-deferred investments, or not calculating one's expected income and expenses once retired. Uncommon Wisdom provides answers to those questions and helps the reader avoid many of the mistakes that can, and frankly do, diminish one's lifestyle in retirement. It also provides questions you should ask of any financial advisor before deciding to hiring him (her). Written in the easy-going style of the author, this is a book of practical solutions, not technical explanations. Being an easy read, we hope you'll enjoy it.
