Pretty good book if you want to churn out a simple will quickly. The fill in forms are easy to use. It does not seem like a sophisticated book though. Some examples are awkward or hard to understand. None the less, it fulfilled my immediate needs.

Prioritizing Your Life
Rating (4)
Date: 2009-12-11
1 out of 1 customers found this reveiw helpful
For some of us, work is a pleasure; it's more recreation than labor. If anything, it's a labor of love.
For most of us, however, work is a drag. It's a place to earn enough money to sustain our lifestyle, while trying to avoid the sharks in the business world---the micro-managers, the backstabbers, and the bosses from hell who undermine your efforts on a daily basis. For those people, Bob Clyatt has some great advice for escaping the rat race, before the rats take over.
The advice is solid, especially if you're trying to get by with less material possessions; don't waste money on a bunch of stuff that really doesn't add value to your life. Enjoy the simple pleasures, because "free" is the best bargain available.
Another great book to help you prioritize what's important in your life is Richard Koch's The 80/20 Principle: The Secret to Success by Achieving More with Less. Together, they can help you get the most out of life; especially if you're looking to reduce the number of hours spent on that thing called "work".

Tons of good, usable financial and motivational advice
Rating  (5)

I read this book cover to cover after getting it and am now going through it more slowly, taking notes on all the useful bits of advice. To be honest, I'd never thought about "semi-retirement" until I heard of this book, and it's proved to be the one idea that excites me.
The tone is pitched just right for people who have been saving and investing for years and are informed but still need some basic guidance for this new period of life. The book gives you strong kudos for living below your means and then helps you figure out how that translates into leaving the rat race earlier than you could ever have hoped for. I especially liked the chapters "Put Your Investing on Autopilot," "Take 4% Forever," and "Do Anything You Want, But Do Something." Each of them have very specific advice, examples, and resources and appealed to me in their simplicity.
I really couldn't have found a better book as I contemplate leaving corporate America at age 48, and I plan to refer back to it many times. Now I feel more ready and excited "to pursue the rest of my life"...

Book is Fine for Young, Aggressive Corporate Types
Rating  (2)
Date: 2008-03-05
18 out of 31 customers found this reveiw helpful
This book might be recommended to young, aggressive high-earning corporate types, who perhaps are able to save extremely aggressively from about around age 25 until 45, and then suddenly retire and become hippies.
However, it's definitely not for a regular person who earns an average income throughout their working career, and who is lucky to have saved enough for retirement at age 65.

If you have spent the last twenty years working toward the dream of Early Retirement as I have then this book will give you the tools to complete your plan. It is very well written and organized. It is an easy read yet has lots of useful detail that I found myself re-reading to not miss any information.
The book also is so detailed that once you complete the planning that it walks you through you will have the confidence to move forward with you life. It really does address the emotional side of Early Retirement also.
If you want to make a positive change in your work life and retire early then read this book!
