Review

"STOP SITTING ON YOUR ASSETS is not a book written on theory it is written on reality! I can categorically make this statement because of my decades of actual financial planning experience. My files are overflowing with substantial numbers of clients that have already benefited from many of the facts and ideas expressed in Marian's book. I feel can speak authoritatively because I have been a full-time financial planner for almost 30 years, a Certified Financial Planner for over 20 years, securities licensed for over 15 years and have written four personal finance books. Please believe me when I say, "This book is a MUST READ". - James P. Kraiss, CFP and Author, "Multiply Your Money, Minimize Your Risk" --Directly from James P. Kraiss

DESCRIPTION: Are you caught up in the financial thinking of the last century? That's when we learned to buy a home and pay it off as quickly as possible. It made sense in the conditions that existed back then. It doesn't make sense today.

How would you like to:
1) Safely leverage and compound assets you didn't realize you had?
2) Become your own bank and build family wealth?
3) Pile up stock market gains, but never take the losses?
4) Lock-in a rich, secure and carefree retirement?
5) Transform the IRS into your wealth-building partner?
6) Create real wealth, empowering you to help others?
7) Get to your existing retirement funds with little or no taxes?
8) Leave a fortune to your heirs?

STOP SITTING ON YOUR ASSETS make these strategies crystal clear -- and you can apply them with security and ease. If you own a home, you owe it to yourself to know about today's new reality: You are sitting on a potential fortune that can safely and confidently be put to work to build a massively abundant financial future. A future so rich that -- before STOP SITTING ON YOUR ASSETS -- could have only existed in your dreams.

"... the effervescent Marian Snow, in her groundbreaking book, STOP SITTING ON YOUR ASSETS, has set down a number of easy-to-implement solutions to take you from cash crunch to real riches. Snow s advice is honest, informative, and downright revolutionary. So forget the money managers, whose costs and fees actually hurt investors, and instead grab a firm hold on Snow s timely book. Indeed, STOP SITTING ON YOUR ASSETS is every bit as good as money in your bank." - ELLEN TANNER MARSH, New York Times, Best Selling Author --From the Back Cover

From New York Times best selling author, television and film writer, RIDLEY PEARSON: "There s plenty of great information in this well put together book. It s both readable and educational. I m going to stop sitting on my assets and start sitting on the ideas expressed in this book." - RIDLEY PEARSON, New York Times Best Selling Author of "Cut and Run", the Boldt/Matthews novel series and "The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer", Co-Author of Book and Disney Feature Animation: "Peter and the Starcatchers" --Directly from Ridley Pearson

5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for answers, August 19, 2007
By C. Ruwe (Northern VA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I, too, was in awe after reading this book. The ideas are presented in a simple, easy to understand way, and it seems to me to be very logical. I'm no financial genius, rather a former math teacher and the numbers seem to work on paper. But, really, after the awe has worn off and reality hits, what's the catch? This seems too easy. If this idea has been in existance for several years, then why hasn't it caught on with the "masses?" Why don't more financial advisors recommend this? Is there something I'm missing or does it really work that simply and just nobody knows about it? Somebody....give me the real scoop!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nicely written primer for this strategy, February 11, 2008
By Swim Guy (Florida) - See all my reviews
Having read most of the titles on this strategy, I find this to be the easiest to read and digest. The strategy outlined in the book will produce more wealth for folks. The financial products suggested (mortgages, cash value life insurance, municipal bonds) are very useful products, that like all products generates profits and fees for some. The typical financial planning strategies (invest in mutual funds, pay down mortgage, etc.) given to the masses have been demonstrated to be failing most folks. Although this typical advice has been doled out for two generations now, the median retirement account balance for those nearing retirement age (55-64 years old) is $83,000. Until the financial planning community takes responsibility for this failure, instead of attacking those who dare to think outside of the propaganda box they have created, I for one will not listen to a thing they have to say.

And yes, I have applied this strategy for several years now and see it increasing my wealth every year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, easy read, July 20, 2007
I am skeptical of `get rich quick schemes' and I was hesitant to read this book. I read the book anyway and then did my own due diligence to find out if what the author was saying was actually the truth or not. After careful consideration and research of my own, I find that this book is accurate in its concepts. I have now personally implemented the strategies found in the book and I am now feeling more security with my finances. Before reading this book, I had no idea that I was heading down the financial road with one foot on the gas pedal and one foot on the brake. As the book put it, I am now heading down the road with "Real Wealth Vision".
I highly recommend this book!
