Good Afternoon,
This is my first post, though I've been lurking for a while. I've searched threads for "Book recommendations" and most seem to be in two different stages.
I'm somewhere in the middle.
I'm 45 and have read "Live It Up Without Outliving Your Money" and "The Millionaire Next Door". I have a savings/investment plan, mostly just maxing our 401k & 403b plans that have a diversified portfolio. I'm looking for a "You're 10 years out from retirement, here's what you need to do"
To be more specific, questions I know I'll have over the next 10 years..
I'm not looking (yet) for advice on the above list, it was just to give it as example of what type of publication I was looking for.
I've already learned a lot from this group, and hope to get to the point where I can contribute one day.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

- Should I convert an old SIMPLE (annuity) to an IRA or 401k? (which is going to be better to withdraw from when FIRE'd)
- Should I be investing into a ROTH 401k
- At some point will I need to save cash, if I plan to retire before 59.5? So that I have penalty free living expenses.
- When to change your investments to those that don't pay dividends
