[.ca] Stay Rich Forever: Retirement Planning Secrets of ... (ISBN 0972338918)

Practical Specific Advice:
What I really love about the book is that it gives practical specific advice on how to adopt the "money habits" of self made millionaires. For example, it shows you how to find money in your budget to start your personal investment program. It also shows you how to select and monitor investments without using an investment advisor. If your investments make money, it explains how to minimize your income taxes on your gains. I found the checklists that go through the steps along the process very helpful and easy to follow. I do not use an investment advisor and I did not get the impression the author was pushing the reader to use paid advisors. But... I found it interesting that the book explains what questions to ask before hiring an advisor and how to check up on an investment advisor's background using free on-line data sources. From reading this book I gained tremendous insight on my money and how to make it grow. This is an excellent book that I highly recommend!

Mistake ridden book:
This book is one of the most mistake-riddled books I have read. The number of mistakes is only worse than the information given in the book. If you are serious about retirement planning you would be better served to reak something by J.K. Lasser. I have reluctantly given my copy of this book to Goodwill and hope that noone is misled by the advice in the book.

Every page delivers something of substance, no filler like a lot of the other financial planning books out there. Jim presents case studies that dissect financial strategies of real millionaires to make Stay Rich Forever an invaluable resource - if you want to be successful, follow in the footsteps of successful people! Well done, well written. Worth your time.

Back on Track Financially:
What a great resource! I am getting my finances back on track by using these techniques. I bought Trippon's book after reading about it in the Midwest Book Review (a library book review service)which gave this book a 5 star rating. I learned more about money in the first hour with this book than in four years in college. It saved me a fortune on my Will by teaching me what questions to ask a lawyer up front. Trippon is a CPA who advises some of America's wealthiest families and he clearly knows his stuff. He exposes how to avoid getting ripped off by investment scams and how to check your investment advisors background. My advice is if you want to get ahead financially...read this book!
