“Guaranteed Income: A Risk-Free Guide to Retirement is strong in passion and rich in detail, a fine combination. I especially enjoyed your ‘take’ on annuities.” John “Jack” Bogle, founder Vanguard Investments
“Major market downturns require you liquidate a larger portion of your stock and bond investments at discounted prices. Individuals in this group that followed traditional investment advice during the 2008 market collapse lost close to 30 percent. Such a loss is a disaster for someone who has just retired and needs a 20 to 30-year income stream. This is why I strongly advise retirees who do not have millions of dollars to seriously consider using at least 50 percent of their available funds to buy a guaranteed monthly income via a fixed income annuity. If this does not get your attention, I am sure reading Barry’s book will do so.”
