In the New-Normal economy, the 30-Something Generation must now provide their own nest egg for retirement or children's tuition. "Unscramble Your Nest Egg" tells readers about a tried-and-true solution used by earlier generations to provide this cash nest egg. Simply put, they paid off the mortgage by age 50-55, earmarking the last 10-15 years of their careers for saving and investment accounts. Converting former debt payments into income-earning assets is the "Nest Egg Strategy," an idea whose time has come again! This safe, simple, and reliable strategy will result in a cash nest egg at least five times their annual income - the minimum that Financial Planners have long advocated. Furthermore, this 5x nest egg can pay 50 percent of living expenses during 20 years of retirement. "Unscramble Your Nest Egg" explains everything readers need to know; the truth is always simple. (Online calculators do all the math.)
John J. Cunningham's "Unscramble Your Nest Egg" is a great little guide detailing the benefits of paying off mortgages early. This enables homeowners to save more capital to put towards their retirement. There is a lot of great and useful information contained within this little book. I am not sure I can benefit as much from it as other people as the bulk of my debt is in the form of student loans. I am also saving to but my first home with cash, which I guess makes me an oddity in today's housing market, not that I ever seem to do anything normally. I do know a lot of people that could benefit from the information contained within this book and would not hesitate to recommend it to them. I won this book from the Goodreads.com website.
