The number, by Lee Eisenberg

 

This book is about identifying the amount of money that you need to have saved or invested so that you can retire at a standard of living that you desire. Author Lee Eisenberg points out that most people are reluctant to think about this, and he spends a lot of time illustrating this with anecdotes and examples. There's more in this book about the inability of most people to know what they will need to retire and less about how to actually identify that number or how to get to that number. This is an interesting look at this phenomenon, and it will definitely make readers think differently about how to plan, but it doesn't provide practical solutions to actually coming up with the number or get there.
