About this listen
Retirement for many Americans can be like a rollercoaster. We experience the ups and the downs, the jarring turns, and the panic-inducing plummets. However, we have no guarantees and no trust that we are going to be taken care of, so it creates fear and not enjoyment. Is that how we want our retirement to go? Does this sound like a "fun ride"?
Fortunately, you have a choice how you want to experience retirement. For most of us, we don't want it to feel like a rollercoaster, and for good reason! For those who want to feel some of the ups and not the downs, there is a solution, and that solution is a Fixed Indexed Annuity.
7 Benefits of FIAs for Retirement is a holistic and easy to understand retirement readiness book. It is written to benefit both consumers and professionals. This start to finish retirement education is concise and effective and is a must read for every American.

It details a highly efficient form of cash value life insurance designed to supercharge your savings and stockpile wealth.

This book is designed to help you rise to the challenge and become the game changer your organization needs. Candid insights from dozens of coaches, managers, CEOs, journalists, entrepreneurs, and other elite performers reveal the qualities that make some people stand out, and the underlying theme is mindset. While talent is a great head start, it is merely potential. Undeveloped and erratically-wielded talent holds little value for an organization.

I am an Investment Advisor Representative for a small RIA. There is such a huge opportunity in the industry to help clients utilize the FIA as an alternative to Corporate and Government Bonds in their portfolios. Great listen, even for someone already familiar with the topic.

So, so good.
I read the physical copy in a day and then bought the audible version so I can keep playing it while I'm on the road. I am in insurance and have been trying to dive deep on annuities because I see so much potential value when done right. Sean made this very concise, simple and something that will translate well no matter your financial education. I recommend everyone buy this book and do it while you're young!!!! I am sending copies to those I love.
