Amazon.com Review Considering how hard people work for the majority of their lives with an eye towards retiring, it's surprising to find that many give little thought to actually funding their retirement. In You've Earned It, Don't Lose It: Mistakes You Can't Afford to Make When You Retire, financial advisor Suze Orman addresses this sad fact and "goes beyond the usual financial primer to describe how to safeguard your financial future." A specialist in retirement issues and a Certified Financial Planner, Orman knows her stuff, and she shares it in a straightforward manner that's especially helpful for those new to navigating the often-confusing course of retirement planning. Beginning with an overview of investment advice and what to look for in an investment counselor, Orman moves on to eight chapters filled with financial planning wisdom--offering focused discussions of trusts vs. wills, long-term care insurance, early retirement, durable power of attorney, estate taxes and probate costs, minimizing your expenses/maximizing your income, joint and survivor benefits, and a successful retirement. Also included are resource lists, handy quick tips, informative graphs, and personal accounts, making this an invaluable tool in planning for one of the most important turning points in your life.
Product Description The only Suze Orman book on retirement! Don't miss the opportunity to read, buy, or give the most popular retirement book on the market today. Over 500,000 copies sold, from the author of the #1 hardcover bestsellers The Courage to Be Rich and The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom. What's so special? Suze is! She lets everyday people tell their own stories of how naivet, failure to act, misinformation, and avoidance devastated their retirement plans. Each story is followed by guidelines, so others can avoid similar costly mistakes. Revised to reflect the newest tax and insurance laws, the eight areas covered are: Investment Advice; Trusts vs. Wills; Joint Tenancy and Gifting; Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care; Long-Term-Care Insurance; Early Retirement; Joint and Survivor Benefits; and Minimizing Expenses and Maximizing Income.

Suze Orman March 31, 2009 Gloria J. Martin Good book to have in your library. Great seller and quick delivery of book. Thanks A=======
Some good info. February 9, 2009 Lorraine Rumsey (florida) I love Suze and often watch her show. The book was good but mostly focuses on people with little retirement income and assets. Finally when I found something I really was interested in it had no details at all.

This book was so highly recommended I thought it would be chock full of information I never thought of regarding a pending retirement. It was just awful. Talk about "no duh" type of advice - write a will....no kidding?!?!?? :(
I'll never buy another book from this woman.
Super Interesting April 15, 2008 J-Man (NYC) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book has sparked discussion and debate amongst my family, and clarification from my lawyer, and my desire to seek out more legal opinions and facts while I'm still young.
Highly recommended for anyone who owns property, and especially for those who are nonchalant about facing the responsibilities of their estates and assets.
You earned it; Don't lose it January 3, 2008 MBA Knows (USA) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The book was written too long ago to be of much use in this century. It needs to be updated or scrapped. It is behind the times and makes some of the information useless if not incorrect. A better choice can be found.
