The Reality-Based Investor: How to Achieve Your Dream of Tomorrow Starting from Where You Are Today (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798903430000)

You saved for decades. You maxed out your 401(k). But one question keeps you awake: "Will my money last?" Pensions are gone, Social Security is shrinking, and the financial media spins conflicting advice. You need a paycheck you can count on. In this book, you'll read about strategies that strive to:

• Generate reliable monthly income (without selling shares in down markets)
• Master the total return equation most investors misunderstand
• Build an income pyramid that creates predictable cash flow
• Implement tax-smart withdrawals that preserve your principal
• Cut through market noise to make decisions based on your reality

Many retirement plans rely on hope, not strategy. They project what might happen across thousands of scenarios. In contrast, Reality-Based Investing asks one question: What income do your investments generate today? That's the path to living off your investments, not on them.

Now is your time to start building income that lasts.
