Publisher's summary
Is your retirement fund controlled by the government? If you have a 401(k), it is.
We all know that the government doesn’t generate money; it takes it. Yet, if we're investing our money into a qualified retirement plan, such as a 401(k), then we're blindly entrusting the government to manage our future income. Conventional wisdom touts it as the best choice, the only choice really, if you want to have a retirement fund at all. Unfortunately, we discover too late that our hard-earned investment doesn't take us as far in our retirement as we thought it would.
Author Zachariah Parry doesn't mince words as he opens your eyes to the reality of investing in a qualified plan; and the limitations imposed upon money. With the knowledge and experience only a seasoned attorney can offer, Parry exposes the truth about the conventional wisdom that has kept you broke.
Within this audiobook, you'll learn:
- Exactly what a 401(k) and other qualified plans are
- The difference between savvy (and legal) tax planning and tax evasion
- The attributes of a perfect investment vehicle
- A tried-and-proven way to quickly get out of debt
- How to grow your money and keep more of it
And, much more!
By the end of this audiobook, conventional wisdom will be thrown out the window. You'll be empowered to sluff off those chains and finally take control of your money so that you can live a life that is truly unshackled!

It details a highly efficient form of cash value life insurance designed to supercharge your savings and stockpile wealth.

Went to a medical conference for Hyperbarics and Art spoke about building a fortress to protect your assets. Medical school, residency, the world around us doesn’t want to teach us what the elites know. They won’t prefer that the professionals of society be pawns in their game.
