Free Kindle eBook: Saving for Retirement without Living Like a Pauper or Winning the Lottery
Right now you can download a free copy (expired as of 9/18) of Saving for Retirement without Living Like a Pauper or Winning the Lottery by Gail MarksJarvis. It’s at the Amazon Kindle store, but you can download a Kindle app to read them on your PC/Mac, smartphone, or tablet.
I’m not really sure why this book is free now, it came out in early 2007. I actually remember getting a free PR copy for review. From what I recall after skimming it, the advice was good but pretty much the standard advice you’d get elsewhere. Start saving early, save on taxes by putting it in an IRA/401k, invest in stocks for the long run, and so on… except it was pre-2008 so stock return expectations were probably much rosier. I’ve read so many books like that I’m tired of them, but if you’re looking for a book covering the basics, why not start with this one for free. (If unsure, “buy” it now anyway, since the price might go back up at anytime.)

It’s no longer free, but still on the Top 100 free list. I think you missed it by literally an hour or two
