The Keys to Financial Success and Piece of Mind
Paul Grangaard's book is a must read for anyone seeking a financially stable and comfortable retirement. His strategy allows investors to balance short term cash flow needs with the very real needs for increasing growth of assets. It enables you to provide certainty in an uncertain financial world while also providing flexibilty to make adjustments as needed.With ever increasing life expectancies, retirees will rely on their assets longer than previous generations. Further, the responsibility for one's retirement has been transferred from the employer to the employee as employer driven pension plans are being replaced with employee driven 401k plans. Because of this, the real risk to investors is not running out of their assets but the horrifying possibility of outliving it.
Because of the market conditions of the last 3 years, many shell shocked investors are succumbing to their pain by making terrible financial decisions that may cause devestating long term consequences. Don't follow the masses and make the same mistakes. Paul Grangaard's message is as timely as ever. Do it for yourself and your family - READ THIS BOOK!

Income For Life
Let's face it. People who take time to read books about investing are looking for an edge! Something different that gives them a better chance at success. The Grandgaard Strategy provides that edge. While most investment books all key in on the same objective, accumulating money, this book teaches you how to spend it, and how to spend it without running out! If income during retirement is your objective, you have to read this book! In the 21 years I have worked with Florida retirees, I have never read a book which better answers the question, "How can I best structure my investment portfolio during retirement for income & growth?" If you're getting ready to retire, or if you're already there, you have to buy this book!

Informercial in book form and not much else
Buy this book to see how someone can effectively mount a very good marketing program. But don't expect to find anything other than platitudes when it comes to financial planning. The material is quite elementary. I'm guessing somewhat here but I'll bet that Mr. Grangaard's approach to building his business includes:
-Go onto TV and sell his book.
-Load the book review input with 5 stars.
-Get the book buyers to sign up for Grangaard trained financial planners.
-Sell the poor saps that to go these planners Grangaard sponsored products.
Don't waste you money or your time on this.
