Audio is not a good format for this

Heard some interesting ideas I’d not heard before. But there are many numbers being stated and it’s very difficult to keep up.

Excellent book, must Read, Read, Read 📚

Outstanding Book, this is one of the best books I have ever read/listened with information that most people we don't know. Thanks!!!

Excellent book especially for those about to retire!

I would recommend this book to those about to retire or are retired. The best “money” book I’ve read!

Worth The Listen

Laurence Kotlikoff is not your typical "financial advisor." In his day job, he is an economics professor. I've read so many books on personal finance, retirement planning and getting the most out of social security and I recommend this as the best and only book you'll need on those topics. The information is broad but focused, complex but clearly presented. If you listen to Money Magic and don't have at least one ah-ha moment, you might be counted as the first. I thought I knew it all, well at least most of it, and I had an entire series of ah-ha's throughout this book.

Great to have not just another opinion, but…

Great to have not just another plan opinion, but one that is more like a paradigm shift from where we been lead.

Not good

Terrible advice. Cashing in an IRA to pay a mortgage? I'm a plumber and I know better than that

Bad

The man who said"Really tried to finish, but it’s not for beginners, not for experts, not for anyone, it’s a book long pitch for a software product." nailed it.

Most boring book

Really tried to finish, but it’s not for beginners, not for experts, not for anyone, it’s a book long pitch for a software product.
