Synopsis In THE NUMBER, Lee Eisenberg offers a "get real" approach to personal finance and retirement planning that simply asks that we determine a figure ("the number") that represents what we will need to live well on in our post-career lives. The number is a destination, and having determined it, we can then map out a pathway to our goal using common sense insights into good and bad money habits. Acknowledging the psychological impediments to planning ahead, such as procrastination and denial, Eisenberg offers practical advice on assessing our true financial worth. In an uncertain world, where pensions are disappearing, Eisenberg advises that we need to lay a foundation early so that we can have the good life later on.
