Negative Positive
Title: Beware!
Review: Warning bells started ringing in my head when early on the book the author recounts how he commiserated with one of his female seminar attendants that of course she doesn't have time to manage her personal finances, who does? At that point, I knew the book wasn't for me and I started skimming. He later (surprise!) suggests that readers seek the service of financial planners, even though he admits that they could cost 1-3% of your portfolio value annually. Other infractions include promoting variable annuities (he downplayed the cost and asserted that any costs would be recouped with the annuity's tax advantage!) and using VERY sloppy math to supposedly illustrate the Roth IRAs superiority to the Traditional IRA. The only reason I didn't give the book 1 star was that there was some standard common advice, such as every woman should know where her family's money is stashed and other similar advice.
Is the review positive or negative?
