…and you have an advisor
The Flat Fee Revolution. The flagship. Chapter Three hands you a number almost nobody in the country has — what you actually paid for advice last year — and the rest of the book explains why that number matters more now than it ever has.
…and you want the whole picture
The Harsh Reality of Retirement Financial Planning. Income, costs, and growth in the no-paycheck years, with the biggest item in each category on the page. Written from the heart, without the industry’s spin.
Read along, a letter at a time.
Most weeks, one idea from inside a retirement plan. Nothing for sale.
