5.0 out of 5 stars The most honest approach to financial planning I have ever seen!, October 22, 2007

By	Darryl R. Smith "Helping you create "Fina... (Alliston ON Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first encountered the Lifetime Economic Acceleration Process on the internet in 1999. As a financial advisor I found it difficult initially to really believe what the LEAP program was telling me.
After years of analysis I still cannot find any faults within the system. I soon realised that a lot of my professional education came from government supervised education programs (requirements necessary to be dually licensed in investments and insurance) and from the financial institutions who were manufacturing the products I was selling.
Although the program is close to 30 years old, it is based on economics which always remain relevant. There are many variables that go into creating a financial plan; unfortunately they are essentially out of date once they are completed.
It is impossible to advise a client on what choices to make in their financial plan using out dated information and trying to guess what challenges the future will hold.
Mr. Castiglione's program creates a plan that will benefit the reader during times of economic prosperity and at the same time protect them against potential financial disasters they may face due to an unexpected job loss, ill health or accidents.
Most financial plans on nothing more than elaborate predictions of what may happen based on a static set of variables. The LEAP process is fluid and can adapt to any situation today and as easily 20 or 30 years down the road.
THIS IS THE BEST BOOK ON FINANCE YOU WILL EVER BUY!

4.0 out of 5 stars A wake up call, February 24, 2010

By	Scott Walker (Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

You may need to set aside conventional wisdom and consider a new way of thinking in order to build a plan that succeeds. Using this book will help you become more knowledgeable and better equipped to grow and protect your money. The ideas here are clear and easy to understand, and are not exhaustive. Still, it would be wise to seek a good advisor to help structure your plan. There was one red flag: when he recognizes Keynes as a great economist.

Castiglione is quite a success story. LEAP (Lifetime Economic Acceleration Process) is designed around multiplying the effectiveness of your money and sheltering it from wealth erosion. He stresses, "Money is not math". He has given us an overview in all areas to complete our portfolio, such as insurance, investments, income, assets, estate, family, wealth destroyers, home, retirement and more.

God bless
Scott
