Today, a Baby Boomer will turn fifty every eight seconds. Chances are they have school-age children and aging parents, with only 250 paychecks left until their sixtieth birthday and the onset of their own retirement years. So, how does the generation that truly has it all take care of everyone's needs and still have something left at the end?
From fixing your 401k before it's too late to avoiding the investment "landmine" to dealing with the rising cost of healthcare to hiring a financial advisor, Two for the Money lends invaluable counsel. As seen on the Today Show, financial experts Jonathan and David Murray are professional investment advisors who have spent their careers successfully guiding Boomers through the financial shoals peculiar to their generation. Here, they give their viewers and readers a comprehensive, step-by-step, easy-to-use guide for emerging from the earning years to finding oneself in a financially healthy state.

Reviews
Starred Review. This is the rare financial book that's entertaining as well as informative. Whether helping individuals or couples to enumerate their personal finances, create a college fund or prepare for retirement, the Murray twins, money advisers on the Today Show, present basic advice in an easily digestible, often humorous way. According to these two financial paragons, saving for your future can be as simple as renting more movies and seeing fewer in the theater, driving cars longer and buying clothes that are less likely to go out of fashion. They also assure younger readers who are contemplating their golden years that they can achieve millionaire-status simply by saving around $60 a week, along with tips on preparing for involuntary retirement. Useful investing advice, including an in-depth description of the vagaries of money market options, round out this quick and lively must-read for financial novices. (June 27)

The Murray twins, professional investment advisors, with a coauthor,^B address the financial challenges facing many of the 76 million U.S. baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964.) The ultimate goal of the book is to assist readers in defining their own game of life and winning at that game. The authors help us clarify and visualize our financial destination and then provide the tools for getting there. Topics covered include organizing financial affairs, budgets, debt management, savings, and successful investing as well as planning properly for retirement, paying for children's education and supporting parents. We learn that good money management is achieved one day at a time and that evaluating the numbers is just the first step in a very personal exercise, which examines life for the "sandwich generation" as they face their retirement and the needs of their children and parents. The Murray brothers tell us, "It's really all about your life, and how you live it." An informative and understandable handbook on an important subject. Mary Whaley
