Product Description
Covering such topics as investment advice, trusts vs. wills, joint tenancy and gifting, durable power of attorney for health care, long-term care insurance, and early retirement--all which need to be understood for a successful retirement--Suze Orman puts together financial advice in the friendliest, most caring, and dramatic way ever, using the stories of real people to demonstrate her points.
Amazon.com Review
Considering how hard people work for the majority of their lives with an eye towards retiring, it's surprising to find that many give little thought to actually funding their retirement. In You've Earned It, Don't Lose It: Mistakes You Can't Afford to Make When You Retire, financial advisor Suze Orman addresses this sad fact and "goes beyond the usual financial primer to describe how to safeguard your financial future." A specialist in retirement issues and a Certified Financial Planner, Orman knows her stuff, and she shares it in a straightforward manner that's especially helpful for those new to navigating the often-confusing course of retirement planning. Beginning with an overview of investment advice and what to look for in an investment counselor, Orman moves on to eight chapters filled with financial planning wisdom--offering focused discussions of trusts vs. wills, long-term care insurance, early retirement, durable power of attorney, estate taxes and probate costs, minimizing your expenses/maximizing your income, joint and survivor benefits, and a successful retirement. Also included are resource lists, handy quick tips, informative graphs, and personal accounts, making this an invaluable tool in planning for one of the most important turning points in your life.

 Dismayed December 25, 2008
This book was so highly recommended I thought it would be chock full of information I never thought of regarding a pending retirement. It was just awful. Talk about "no duh" type of advice - write a will....no kidding?!?!?? :(
I'll never buy another book from this woman.

This book has sparked discussion and debate amongst my family, and clarification from my lawyer, and my desire to seek out more legal opinions and facts while I'm still young.
Highly recommended for anyone who owns property, and especially for those who are nonchalant about facing the responsibilities of their estates and assets.
You earned it; Don't lose it January 3, 2008
The book was written too long ago to be of much use in this century. It needs to be updated or scrapped. It is behind the times and makes some of the information useless if not incorrect. A better choice can be found.
 Too dated November 21, 2007

Too dated to be useful in CT, but it did spur me to visit my attorney to get briefed on changes in estate planning.
Don;t Lose It October 23, 2007
Good book for young people to plan the future and what information to compile to leave loved ones.
