Today people worry that they're going to run out of money in their older age. That won't happen if you use a few tricks for squeezing higher payments from your assets - from your Social Security account (find the hidden values there), pension (monthly income or lump sum?), home equity (sell and invest the proceeds or take a reverse mortgage?), savings (should you buy a lifetime annuity?), and retirement accounts (how to invest and - critically - how much to withdraw from your savings each year).

In this follow-up book, Look Before Your LIRP, he makes the case that, while a variety of LIRPs may help get you to the 0% tax bracket, not all will do so with the same efficiency or effectiveness. In fact, finding the right LIRP for your tax-free retirement plan can be just like finding the ideal spouse. Just as you likely had a list of qualities you were looking for in a life-long partner, you should have certain attributes and provisions in mind when looking for the ideal LIRP.

Recent statistics suggest that nearly two-thirds of Americans regret not planning properly for retirement. We tend to underestimate the key factors of retirement planning: our total lifespan; the probable length of our retirement; and, perhaps most significant, how much money we’ll need to fund those years in retirement. In fact, retirement planning can feel so overwhelming that many of us put off thinking about it at all until it’s too late to make the necessary changes.

Very technical, good reference
This was a boring book to listen to on audible, but it would be a great reference book. It is very technical, and I did not find a lot interesting in it, but then again I'm not much into this stuff anyway. I did find it interesting that they said not to buy real estate with an IRA.

it's not for everyone but is the authority!
I've read and followed Ed Slott's advice for many years and have found no better authority for the tax laws and rules as of 2021. Most of this book didn't apply to my situation, since it is a comprehensive work, but I learned several valuable things that did apply and improved my knowledge significantly. Thanks Ed!
