David Trahair's book Smoke and Mirrors shows a new and realistic approach to investing for retirement. You can retire on a lot less than you have been told.
A great read. Well worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read to counteract the financial myths out there Feb 25 2004
By F. Yee
Trahair has provided great advice to a large number of Canadians, particularly those Boomers looking to retire over the next 20 years. With this book (a bargain at $17!), you'll find most of the tools to retire comfortably and with peace of mind. He will debunk the many financial myths that are perpetuated by the 'financial services' companies that may actually put your retirement at risk. As a bonus, you'll live a little better before retirement, knowing that you don't HAVE to have a million dollars or more to retire comfortably.

I might sound like a commercial, but the fact is, I've done similar calculations, and have come to same conclusions about the myths he talks about. The only negative is that is a light read - but that also makes it easy-to-read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple advice from an expert Feb 19 2004
By J Barry Gander
David Trahair has created an examplary book in "Smoke & Mirrors". It's already put my mind at ease about my ability to retire (I can do it!). David cuts through the fog of confusion an fear created by the financial "planners" who have a vested interest in driving you to use their services. Here's a book for real people with real-life incomes and savings abilities!
