Synopsis
It's the last question you think about before going to sleep, and the first on your mind in the morning. It's a taboo that you can't easily discuss with friends and can barely face with family. It's The Number: the amount of money you need to secure the rest of your life. Do you know what your Number is? Do you know how to think about it? Do you know what you really want to do with it?
A provocative field guide to our psyches and our finances, Lee Eisenberg's The Number will help you have the money conversations you have been avoiding. It will make you think about the kind of life you want and the kind of help you need to achieve it. You will also discover:
? Why you wander through your financial "lost years" until it is almost too late? Why downshifting into retirement is so challenging
? How the second half of life is being reinvented as we live longer
An important program for anyone over thirty, The Number is the audiobook to listen to before you consult an investment adviser or a retirement guide -- and above all, before the rest of your life slips by, unexamined.

From AudioFile
Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable. Lee Eisenberg's guide to retirement applies similar logic. Eisenberg, like Suze Orman, approaches the psychological underpinning of personal finance and then helps listeners confront personal demons while planning for a realistic future. Eisenberg surpasses Orman with his smooth writing style, his controlled audio delivery, and his background--a life journey that includes having edited Esquire and served as marketing guru for Land's End. But he lags behind Orman in one important quality, practical advice. As engaging as his storytelling is, Eisenberg's discussion of how to calculate and save the dreaded "number" (the amount needed for retirement) seems beyond the financial ability of middle-class Americans.
