– Dan Otter, author of Teach and Retire Rich
"Short, sweet and too the point. Too say that this book translates wall street to main street is an understatement. If you're looking for a way to understand your retirement plans, but don't want to haveto read a doctoral thesis, this is the book for you. Not only does this book make complex topics easy to understand, but it uncovers manyof the financial scams that are being perpetrated on individual investors on a daily basis. Anyone who reads this book can't help butsave themselves tens of thousands of dollars by avoiding the mistakes the average investor makes. I highly recommend this book to anybody who wants to learn more about their retirement plans. In addition, if you are a teacher, the chapters devoted to your 403(b) will enlightenyou, upset you and at the end of the day make you want to make positive changes, don't continue to invest in your 403(b) without reading this book."
– Scott Dauenhauer, President, Meridian Wealth Management
