Book Description

July 12, 2007
Seniors in the world today are struggling for financial stability more than ever. People age 60 and better strive to make wise financial decisions but have found it near impossible to dodge the growing obstacles in fields like estate tax and Social Security. Seniors face more complex issues but have only a limited and unreliable pool of resources to help them. Despite what everyone believes the retirement of your dreams is not out of your reach! Meet Robert A Sagar, founder of The Senior Financial Center who's fundamental message is "you don't have to take high risks to live a comfortable retirement." After years of firsthand contact with thousands of seniors, Robert has perfected his financial strategies and is now offering it to the world. In "Financial Success for Seniors" you will learn proven techniques for increasing your current income, making sure you never outlive your money, maintaining your lifestyle and financial independence and avoiding the "risk traps" and hidden costs that Wall Street won't discuss. You can now benefit from tools and strategies that have worked for a large body of seniors including Mr. Sagar himself. There is no reason why you shouldn't be living the good life is your golden years, so start today!

1.0 out of 5 stars Reads like a high pressure sales pitch ..., February 21, 2008
By 
Big Andy (Staten Island, New York USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Financial Success for Seniors (Paperback)
Have you ever attended a "Free financial informational seminar for senior citizens" , having been tempted by promises of a free dinner at a nice restaurant or hotel and then been subjected to a high pressure sales pitch? That's what this book reads like. As someone with greying hair who is financially astute and having worked in the financial services industry for over 10 years, my eyebrows were raised on more than one occasion whilst reading this book. I was taken aback by the over- generalizations, glossing over of facts (and more worringly tax laws)that don't support the author's 'financial stategies', and the scare tactics of if you don't have a living trust(supplied by the author no doubt) then you are in grave danger of losing all your assets to probate.

More worringly is the concentration on and recommendation of annuities (a high commision product for salespeople and with high surrender charges for clients) throughout the book as being the best investment available for seniors for all their investment needs. I can only imagine what it must be like for the senior citizen unknowledgable in financial matters to sit down with the author during a 'free consultation'.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this book. Did I mention that it reads like a promotional fluff piece that you might receive from agents of investment companies? 3 Questions You MUST ask your accountant!! 12 Golden Rules for Seniors! Fees Wall Street does not want you to know about!!
Save your time and money on this self-serving tome and look elsewhere for unbiased financial advice.

4.0 out of 5 stars "A refreshing view on financial advice for senior", February 17, 2009
This review is from: Financial Success for Seniors (Paperback)
After completing this easily read piece I realized that this guy gets it! This becomes even more evident especially after reading chapter 15 on annuities. He dispells the myth about this misunderstood catagory of financial products. This is a must read for Seniors as well as advisors that work with them!

This review is from: Financial Success for Seniors (Paperback)
Check all he has to say with a true financial professional and save yourself a lot of $$$$$. He's dim witted and unprofessional.
