For investors who want to invest their hard-earned money on their own, this book provides a blueprint to achieve success, with all the steps necessary to build a solid, diversified portfolio. Merriman remains one of the top investing educators in the country, and has grown his money management firm to $700 million of assets under management.

Paul Merriman's Live It Up Without Outliving Your Money! is a comprehensive road map to a financially secure retirement. He shows how to determine how much money you'll need to retire when you want, in the way that you want; how to establish how much your investment portfolio needs to be worth when you retire, and he shows you the kinds of investments that will give you the returns you need to reach your goals. Then he explains how to choose the right distribution plan to provide both the income you need in retirement and the peace of mind that you won't run out of money.

You'll learn how to construct and maintain a "perfect" portfolio tailored to your personal tolerance for risk, and how to organize your finances so you don't have to spend a lot of time on them.

Based on Nobel Prize-winning research, Merriman's investment strategies combine passively managed no-load asset class mutual funds to create low-cost, tax efficient portfolios with worldwide diversification. "What investors need most is a strategy with enough power in good times to generate positive returns, coupled with enough protection in bad times to keep them from bailing out in discouragement," says Merriman. He discusses the psychology of successful investing and managing your emotions so you don't sabotage your own plans.

Using many charts and graphs, he makes complex subjects easy to understand, and his passion and enthusiasm are motivating and inspiring.
