The American Dream Unrealized: Your Last Chance to Reclaim Your Retirement (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780984277445)

I am convinced this book will help save your retirement in the turbulent 21st Century. As you read through it, you will learn how the conventional view of retirement is outdated, and that the retirement and income planning of the past, along with increased life expectancy, and rise of 401(k) plans replacing pensions, means old strategies no longer apply.

Robert J. Krakower has combined his 25 years of experience in consulting, professional speaking and training, with current research and current economic turbulence, to create a book that is credible, fact-filled and personal, and written in conversational style. Robert offers amazing insight into the new, game-changing realities of the "Retirement Perfect Storm" that is headed for America's retirement system and the majority of people are unaware is coming. He lays out an unflinching guide to the opportunities awaiting anyone heading into retirement, as well as exposing the pitfalls and hazards to a secure retirement that the financial media continues to mask in an endless fog of useless information and unfulfilled promises.

You will gain insight into a hidden world of financial knowledge as Robert pulls back the curtain and reveals the true state of the mutual fund industry. You will discover the real reason why your mutual funds perform so poorly, see how your 401(k) plan stacks up against the ideal retirement plan, understand the pros and cons of the "buy-and-hold" slogan for modern investing, and learn to apply the steps necessary to shelter and protect your retirement dreams and financial goals, thus saving your retirement in a turbulent world.
