About this audiobook
From #1 bestselling author Ric Edelman, the “best retirement planning book” (David Bach, New York Times bestselling author) that helps you regain control of your financial future.
Ric Edelman has helped more people achieve financial success than any other practicing financial advisor. Now, Ric reveals the deceptive and manipulative business practices occurring in your retail mutual funds—practices that are causing you to suffer higher fees, greater risks, and lower returns than you realize. In The Lies About Money, he offers you a detailed yet easy-to-follow plan that lets you take back control of your investments—and your financial future.
Here, Ric shares his most valuable lessons gained through two decades of working directly with individuals and families. He reveals the lies that have infiltrated your retail mutual funds and retirement accounts and teaches you how to invest your money in your employer retirement plan; how to save for college; and for those who are retired, how to generate more income without sacrificing security. He shows you that proper money management has nothing to do with “hot tips” and everything to do with scientific analysis, bolstered by solid academic research and historical data. Along the way, Ric shows you the secrets to investment success—a long-term focus, the importance of diversification, and the crucial need for (and methods of) portfolio rebalancing.
With insight and strategies that will change people's lives, The Lies About Money is “a must-read...if you want to retire rich” (Paul B. Farrell, JD, PhD, author of The Lazy Person’s Guide to Investing).

Money in calculation quantities defines worth before and after equities exist from purchase. Banking is for the budget schedule money has. Proof that retirement begins at any age from an expert source; is a social security benefit requirement. It's also mandatory for becoming millionaire; who invest in real estate; are savings account bankers, spend with economic experience and guard debt topics of money. Loans are in the word itself; however, that is the limit to asset sharing. There is no borrow money; only taking an offer to gain strategy experience shares. Invested stock and bond give a portfolio a class to live in.
