After reading various posts in the forums and posting a couple questions it has become painfully obvious that I need to read more to come up to speed on everything from investing to taxes, to ensure I am approaching both in the most advantageous way. What are your suggestions to build a good foundation for investing and understanding taxes from the standpoint of wanting to retire (at 55) in 5 years?

Reading posts on the forum is a great way to learn what you need to know. If you have specific questions you can ask them. But all the important stuff is posted here over and over.

A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel is a great investment book if you want to read a book and not just forum threads. That being said I'm sure the info is covered here in multiple posts.
