Recommendation for Retirement Planning Book

[Kragness]

Hello! I am in my 40s and I am looking to semi-retire or flat out retire within the next 4 years. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good retirement planning book or guide? Something that helps you plan when to pull money from your investments and also with a very detailed section on the ins and outs of the current social security system?

...a very detailed section on the ins and outs of the current social security system?

Given that you are ~20 years away from taking SS, details may not be critical. Open Social Security: Free, Open-Source Social Security Calculator may be as good as anything else for now.

I would suggest it might be more important to find a book on how to invest and how to structure your investment types (401(k), tIRAs, Roths, taxable, etc.)



I don't have a good book in mind, but it should help you plan for taxes.



As far as SS? I'd not worry too much about it. Structure your savings/investment to create your own income and let SS be gravy later on. Just my 2 cents worth.
