Publisher's Summary

As the prospect of a secure financial future and a comfortable retirement becomes increasingly remote for many, and experts are concluding that conventional investing and financial planning strategies aren’t working, Pamela Yellen reveals an extraordinary, little-known but time-tested method for growing wealth safely and predictably, even when the stock and real-estate markets and other investments tumble.

In this audiobook, Yellen reveals the secrets to taking back control of your financial future that Wall Street, banks, and credit-card companies don’t want you to know.

You’ll discover how to:

  • Have a rock-solid financial plan and a predictable retirement income that can last as long as you do—with no luck, skill, or guesswork required
  • Turn your back on the stomach-churning twists and turns of the stock and real-estate markets
  • Get back every penny you pay for your cars, vacations, home repairs, business equipment, a college education, and other major purchases, so you can enjoy more of life’s luxuries today without robbing your nest-egg!
  • Become your own source of financing and recapture the interest you pay to banks and finance companies—reduce or eliminate the control those institutions have over you.

    A Misleading sales book

    First off, let me start by saying I think the idea of a good whole life policy is good and I bought this book because I’m planning on getting one myself. However this book is just a sales book for this particular insurance broker.
    Coming up with outlandish “examples” based on fear and pleasure (sales school 101, the #1 motivator is fear, followed by pleasure).
    No less than 7 times throughout the book they say “get the cost of the car back” as if to suggest the car/trip/medical/etc. will be free.

    You Don’t Get The Cost of the Car or Trip or Medical Bills Back!!! You Pay For Them!!

    The book is written for people who spend beyond their means. “Borrow from your life insurance policy instead of putting that trip on a credit card”. “ Borrow from your life insurance policy instead of financing that car and get the cost of the car back”

    It’s sets you up to believe you can live this lavish lifestyle that you otherwise couldn’t afford. If you can’t afford the car or trip before the policy, you still can’t afford the car or trip!

    Finally, the book is narrated ok but I listen to a ton of audio books and I don’t understand why, in a book with mostly male characters, there would be a female narrator. Men should not do females rolls and females shouldn’t do male rolls. It sounds stupid and takes away from this crappy sales pitch of a book. Don’t be cheap. Hire both sexes and do it right.
