Very good approach to the subject. The book can be read from everyone either from people with mathematical and computer knowledge or people from finance and business domain. Excellent work!

I am Financial Analysit, working for a large insurance company. This book was recommended to us by our instructor in our regular finacial analysis training.

This book changed my life profoundly by altering my perception of myself and the people around me. The school system rewards kids who can remember things, but being able to regurgitate facts in an exam does not by any means guarantee a successful career or life. The kids who are artistic, mechanically talented, emotionally perceptive, or naturally intuitive, will be branded "losers" by the education system if they don't do well in exams, even though these skills are at _least_ as valuable as memory. The world would be a much better place if everyone read Kiyosaki's masterpiece.

In Search of the Perfect Model is the most important practice management book of the year for independent financial advisors. It is well written, insightful, and thoroughly enjoyable!

This is a universally-accepted Life Insurance licensing textbook with review questions after each chapter. 208 pages. Dearborn R&R Publication. This text refers to 1995 edition.

This is the kind of book you pull off the library shelf because the title is outrageous. "There is no way a book could live up to that title," you think to yourself. That is exactly what I did. I opened the cover and discovered a delightful and insightful book about life, and finance. I have read many books of advice on how to invest, and this I have to admit is the best most useful book I have read on that topic both for beginning investors, and for the seasoned. The book is ostensibly about how to manage your affairs if you are trying to win the Lottery. Mr Sanford covers alot of territory here, and includes excellent advice on issues relating to the Lotto, and if you would win, and if you would not win which is more likely! It's a fun book. Don't miss it!

The theories in this book are spectacular. A well written book with great potential for future and current investors looking to expand their portfolios and make some serious money.

Only half of working Americans admit they have thought about saving for retirement, and many of those who do try to save, don't know if they are setting aside enough to support themselves in old age. How, then, can employees, their employers, and the public sector boost old-age financial security? The contributors to this volume--economists, financial advisers, and housing and benefits specialists --argue that a strong retirement income system requires attention not only to assets conventionally dedicated to retirement purposes such as pensions, but also to the broader determinants of retiree wealth including housing, health, longevity, and intellectual capital.

This book outlines key problems involved in reducing financial risks in retirement, and then it goes on to propose fresh solutions. These include cash-balance pension plans that combine features of traditional defined benefit pensions and increasingly popular defined contribution plans. Other novel approaches discussed include reverse-annuity mortgages permitting people to benefit from the value of their homes without actually selling them, various forms of annuities, and long-term care insurance. A framework chapter sets the stage by examining what retirement planning can be expected to accomplish and how planning reduces risks by hedging, insuring, and diversifying. This book should be required reading for all who seek to strengthen retirement decision-making and old age protection.
