"Taxes will be the single biggest factor that separates people from their retirement dreams. There has been monumental legislation in recent years that has created a major overhaul of the tax system, affecting virtually everyone in some way with countless implications," said Slott. "Now, more than ever before, it is crucial that Americans implement the latest planning strategies available to them. This book provides readers with an easy-to-understand step-by-step guide to disarm the retirement savings time bomb and navigate the latest retirement and tax planning laws and strategies so that they can better protect their hard-earned money."

"The New Retirement Savings Time Bomb" is a complete action plan to help Americans ensure their 401(k)s, IRAs, and retirement savings aren't depleted by taxes by the time they need to use them. Slott shows readers in clear-cut layman's terms how to take back control over their retirement savings and financial future by walking them through five actionable steps to protect their retirement savings from the taxman. A sequel to his best-selling book, "The Retirement Savings Time Bomb… And How to Defuse It," originally published in 2003, this new book covers the latest events impacting tax code, from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to the SECURE Act to the CARES Act and breaks down how retirement savers need to plan differently since these laws were enacted.

"Right when you've finally made it to retirement, there is this looming uncertainty about how much of your own money you actually get to keep," added Slott. "That is why it is vital that Americans take action now to protect the assets they've spent a lifetime building from excessive taxation."
