Summary: No real useful information
Review: I saw the author on TV and was excited to read what he had to say.... Boy, was I mislead... most of the book is just an outline with all the various products people sell to wealthy individuals. He also keeps pointing out that most wealthy folks use a financial advisor. Your not buying a resourse book... you are buying an advertisment. Too Bad! He could have written something really useful!

Summary: This book is fantastic!
Review: This book taught me more about money than anything I have ever read in my 20 years of investing! It gave me a practical action plan for my money and my retirement which I have successfully implemented. I think it is a "must read" for anyone who wants to have money. The author, Trippon, is a money manager and CPA for some of America's wealthiest people. Trippon's real gift to his readers is that he can explain complicated financial issues in terms that non-financial types, like me, can understand. It is very well written and well organized. The book covers the techniques real millionaires use to build and hold onto their wealth. I would have paid anything to have had this information five years ago! The key to the book is what Trippon calls the "four pillars of wealth" that millionaires use "stay rich". The author goes through the specific habits and techniques millionaires use to: 1. Create and Grow Wealth
2. Protect and Preserve their Wealth
3. Legally pay the absolute minimum in taxes
4. Avoid the loss of your estate due illness and estate taxes
What I really love about this book is that unlike most money books I have read, Trippon's book is not about theory. It gives the reader specific action steps to follow and also provides interesting case studies of Trippon's millionaire clients. It seems to me that most financial books on the market are written by "self-proclaimed gurus" with no real financial experience. Trippon is the real deal. I also love the author's website where he has a free newsletter and gifts for his readers which he calls "graduates." Trippon also "blows the whistle" on financial scams and rip offs that seem to be everywhere these days. He also tells the reader how to check on their stock broker's background for free with a government internet database, and how not get overcharged with commissions. I suspect Trippon will be getting "hate mail" from disgruntled stock brokers who do not want the rest of us to know their tricks.

Summary: Stay rich forever
Review: This is the best,well written, comprehensive financial planning book that have been written in recent years. The book covers a wide range of practical topics and information that should be required reading to all age groups. For the young professional, just starting out, there is advise about how to accumulate wealth through unique approaches, disciplined savings and investments that anyone could follow easily.
For those who have already accomplished a great deal, the book offers almost limitless and useful strategies about how to keep the accumulated wealth. This is a difficult area as there are many ex-millioners who obviously did not receive the best advise during the recent recession.
The book should be required reading from cover to cover, and than kept in a easy to reach location for regular and frequent use as a reference sourse. The author promises to provide regular updates through an e-mailed newsletter to all those who purchased the book. Therefore this is a reference book that will not get dated, if the reader keeps in touch with the author who is a very successful financial planner and can be reached at www.Trippon.com.

Summary: Full of substance, not fluff!
Review: What a great resource! I am getting my finances back on track by using these techniques. I bought Trippon's book after reading about it in the Midwest Book Review (a library book review service)which gave this book a 5 star rating. I learned more about money in the first hour with this book than in four years in college. It saved me a fortune on my Will by teaching me what questions to ask a lawyer up front. Trippon is a CPA who advises some of America's wealthiest families and he clearly knows his stuff. He exposes how to avoid getting ripped off by investment scams and how to check your investment advisors background. My advice is if you want to get ahead financially...read this book!

Summary: Mistake ridden book
Review: What I really love about the book is that it gives practical specific advice on how to adopt the "money habits" of self made millionaires. For example, it shows you how to find money in your budget to start your personal investment program. It also shows you how to select and monitor investments without using an investment advisor. If your investments make money, it explains how to minimize your income taxes on your gains. I found the checklists that go through the steps along the process very helpful and easy to follow. I do not use an investment advisor and I did not get the impression the author was pushing the reader to use paid advisors. But... I found it interesting that the book explains what questions to ask before hiring an advisor and how to check up on an investment advisor's background using free on-line data sources. From reading this book I gained tremendous insight on my money and how to make it grow. This is an excellent book that I highly recommend!
