Book description
Since the credit crash, investors have been searching for answers as
401(k) accounts have suffered unprecedented declines. Not only have
markets been tumultuous but new regulations and concerns regarding
hidden fees have been introduced to an already opaque area of investing.
Despite the severe economic retreat in 2008-2009, one thing hasn't
changed: 401(k) accounts-because of their tax benefits-are still the
best way for most people to invest for retirement. Mary Rowland breaks
down how they work, why they're still a smart investment, how to keep
an eye out for hidden fees, and why now is the time to start
reinvesting in your retirement.
As the former personal finance columnist for the Sunday New York
Times and the author of three books on investing, Mary Rowland has
extensive experience covering the issues that 401(k) investors face
when they consider how to best prepare for retirement.
Mary Rowland has been a journalist for thirty
years, a half dozen of them as a weekly columnist for the Sunday
New York Times. She also wrote a regular column for
Bloomberg Wealth Manager, a magazine for financial advisers,
for seven years. Her articles and essays have appeared in
Fortune, Business Week, USA Today, Ladies'
Home Journal, Family Circle, Woman's Day, and many
other publications.
