Between 3-4 stars. It explains things well enough I can wrap my head around it. It’s basically a big advertisement but not in a bad way if that makes sense. Honest about the good and bad of setting things up this way which I appreciate. Not life shattering but I’m glad this book exists to change thinking

There are numerous grammatical and editing errors that really made this book hard to read at times. I really loved how the case studies were included for a visual representation. I do struggle with the book seeming more of a self seller of how only SHE should be the one we go to for whole life insurance as the author who just happens to sell whole life insurance and discredits others that sell it with a list in the back of red flags of how they may/may not be the real deal etc. Now I'm not saying she's wrong and I probably will look into it further before jumping regardless of if its through her or someone else, but I guess just the repeated calls to action for just HER and not even a company or a coworker or an affiliate or anyone else for the whole life company association bothers me a lot. The sentence structure set up made it difficult for me to understand the information as readily and I found myself rereading the information a few times to try to gather what was meant. That being said, I did enjoy it quite thoroughly, I learned a lot, I LOVED that other books were suggested, and I took TONS of notes. It isn't enough for a one and done leap off of a cliff kind of moment for me, but it is definitely a good door opener into the world of whole life insurance while living. quick little read!

Multiple editing and proofreading mistakes. I felt like it was an advertisement for the author. The end result seems plausible, but you’ll need some pretty deep pockets to follow her suggestions and plan. Just ⭐️⭐️

A great book for those who want to break free from the current financial world. I will not be looking back!

Poorly edited. Not totally sold on the concept though parts of it made good sense.
