Reviews

'It is not every day that a book comes along that changes the way you think about investing and saving. Investing isn't just about accumulating. Investing should let you 'spend 'til the end.' Josh's book is revolutionary. He offers valuable and important tax-smart guidance that will help you enjoy your money in your working and retirement years. Go read this book now!' --Dr. Larry Kotlikoff, world renowned economist and New York Times bestselling author

'Josh is a great resource and expert in assembling thoughtful investment strategies for millennials to baby boomers. His against-the-grain and fresh insight offers traditional investors an opportunity to live a financially fulfilling life while setting themselves up for a secure and enjoyable retirement.' --Harry S. Dent, bestselling author and renowned economic forecaster

AUDIOFILE MAGAZINE: 'After Gabe Wicks's strong voice delivers the brief forward, Public Radio storyteller and voice pro Jakob Lewis presents this accessible lesson with beguiling charm and comfortable authority. He's a good fit to perform Josh Jalinski's seductive writing, which sets up his advice as a contrarian alternative to the guidance people usually hear about retirement planning. As host of a financial radio program, the author writes with a deep well of experience and knowledge. He's good at distilling the logic of finance into prescriptions that are instantly clear. With strategies that are conservative and not intimidating (life insurance, annuities, tax avoidance), he's sensitive to the real-life circumstances and tolerances that retired people have. The result is a hands-on personal finance guide that doesn't overlook the need for people to enjoy their lives while they prepare for the future.'
