5.0 out of 5 stars "fantastic guide for gen X, boomers, and retirees"., September 2, 1999

This easy-to-use guide to financial planning empowers gen X, boomers, and retirees to understand and manage both their finances AND financial advisors. Many lawyers, brokers, and insurance agents will hate this book. It actually teaches us financial novices to get the most out of our money and our(too often non-client oriented) advisors. Reliance on fee-based coordinating advisors, like Sarah Fisher, IS the way to go! Her approach is totally professional, client-focussed, objective, and honest.

I am very impressed with "1001 Questions". I am a dummy when it comes to financial matters and Ms. Fisher's book as taught me the questions I need to ask to get started on the path to financial success. The book is written to educate all readers from the novice to experienced investor. My husband and I both found it to be very helpful. Great job!

1.0 out of 5 stars Needs work. Simplistic and amateurish. Go back the board., April 18, 1999

This review is from: Everything You Need To Know About Money and Investing: A Financial Expert Answers the 1,001 Most Frequently Asked Questions (Paperback)

"If you don't have time to read, you don't have time to invest." Give me a break! I am constantly amazed that these so-called "independent investment advisors" think that the average investor can reach financial independence and multigenerational wealth without the aid of a well-trained, compassionate and skillful financial advisor. The average parents today are so busy with careers, businesses and family there are probably 3 or 4 seconds left at the end of the day to do any reading for pleasure, let alone financial reading. In Ms. Fisher's world, most of the baby boomers of today would never make it financially since they should not invest because they don't have time to read. Take care of your clients and don't give us any more advice.
