We diligently put money away for years, yet most of us don’t know how to avoid the costly mistakes that can occur when it comes time to use it. A good chunk of your money can be lost needlessly to taxes unless you plan ahead.

The ticking tax bomb is coming! But this easy-to-follow guide can help you avoid the latest traps set out by Congress and show you how to structure your retirement savings so you can have more, keep more and make it last, no matter what. This book is required reading for every American with savings and investments planning to retire—be it five years from now or fifty.
