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.

Informative Book

What did you love best about Bank on Yourself?

I have the investment instrument talked about in this book. I obtained the book to just refresh the idea, see if there was information I didn't know, etc. While the beginning of the book reads like an infomercial I'm not sure there would be another way to do it and get the info across. Knowing what takes place in structuring one of these, I felt the book was very informative, explained exactly what is needed (although you do need a licensed agent to put it together, you can do it without one), and answered all the questions I originally had, plus some I hadn't thought ot.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Even though this was several hours long, I listend to it in a short period of time. Grant it, I knew the info so it was an easy read for me. Someone who has no idea would want to take it more methodically.

Any additional comments?

This is a great vehicle. We have three in our family and we are in our fourth year. My daughter bought her first car paying cash through this plan and my older daughter paid her car off within the first 18 months of the plan. They have been very useful.

Amazing

This is the only way to save for retirement!! How come we are not taught this.

Perfect For Today's Investor

This is a perfect audio for today's investor who has learned the hard way about trusting his life savings to others. Yellen tells you where to put your money so it will grow, and won't suddenly disappear. Great audio if you want to sleep soundly at night!

Info commercial. Brutal

Repeat repeat. Pathetic long drawn out stories that do not add up to anything . It appears the author is ashamed it is an insurance product? Why else would she draw conclusion that people would find it hard to believe.? It could be explained without the horror stories. It could be a worthy product to some but this makes it seem shady. They make money in the early stages of this plan and pump up borrowing cash values . It not a new concept.

Interesting

This is worth reading about. An interesting strategy I intend to use right away. Great read.

awesome

l I personally love the information. and I'm going to start my plan right away.

Can't wait to implement

Very interesting. Can't wait to dig deeper into this concept. Thanks for bringing it to my attention

Great Concept But...

Would you listen to Bank on Yourself again? Why?

No. The information is good but mired in too many stories...with too few real details. Listening to the audio book was tedious and the voice performers did NOT help.

What did you like best about this story?

Excellent financial concept.

What didn’t you like about Pamela Yellen and Sean Pratt ’s performance?

just did not work for me...but the content was probably partially at fault...not well-written and too elementary

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No

Any additional comments?

No

ONE BIG INFOMERCIAL

Would you try another book from Pamela Yellen and/or Pamela Yellen and Sean Pratt ?

no. because this is dishonesty. don't make me pay for a concept, but i don't actually get the real substance until i buy something else that you didn't mention upfront.

Would you ever listen to anything by Pamela Yellen again?

no

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Pamela Yellen and Sean Pratt ?

irrelivant

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Bank on Yourself?

I would actually give people useful info in this book that they paid for, whether they want to buy something else from me or not.

Can't wait to start

I can't wait to start my BOY Plan! I loved all the examples of normal people benefiting from their plans.
