 A Sales Pitch for Indexed Universal Life Insurance June 10, 2008
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book is nothing but a sales pitch for Indexed Universal Life Insurance, which is conveniently offered by the author's company. And, by the way, if you buy one of these programs, their agents make a hefty fee. So not only are you spending money on this book, you will put more money into their pockets by buying this insurance program. Do some research on Universal Life Insurance (specifically the one mentioned in the book) and you'll uncover all the facts about it.
I will say the book had some ok ideas about investing in general, but save your money on this book and buy a "Rich Dad" book series instead.
boring, confusing, droll June 9, 2008

An uninspiring book that glosses over already well-known advice, presented in a boring confusing way, and does not apply to today's market.

This was a quick read, and a new approach to reaching financial independence so therefore I enjoyed reading it. However, I wish there was more detail as to how one can afford the extra payments after milking the equity out of your primary residence and a 2nd home? Plus, the author only assumes you live in an area where appreciation is rapid (aka not Wichita). The overall concept seems doable but I feel like much of the content was displayed in metaphors versus spelling it out. I'd rather read the straight forward details before how drips from a teapot can equal a cash tree. Interesting, but now I feel like I need to read another book on universal life insurance before moving forward.
 Not a typical financial book. May 22, 2008

Reviewed by Debra Gaynor for [...]
Let's face it. Most of us have a goal that in some way is connected to money. Douglas R. Andrew, Emron D. Andrew, and Aaron R. Andrew share their vast expertise. The target audience is thirty and under.
My first comments must be that I am over thirty and do not necessarily agree with all of their concepts. I believe in staying out of debt and avoiding credit cards. However, I am a far cry from a millionaire, so who am I to offer advice or to negate the authors plan? When I visit my financial counselor, my head begins to spin, then it aches, and finally I just nod, hoping to get out of there as soon as possible.
Millionaire By Thirty assists readers in understanding finances and financial jargon. The authors warn that too many young adults expect to start with what it has taken years for their parents to attain. Another warning is not to expect the government to provide you with a retirement income. Topics are explored in simple easy-to-understand terms. From IRA, purchasing a home, to investing, the authors offer invaluable information. This book will assist you in understanding finances and reaching your goals.
 Good advice--just not applicable to everyone May 21, 2008

Money. Lots of it. By thirty. Who wouldn't be intrigued by these promises?
The advice in this book is not applicable to all of us. Douglas' sons, Emron and Aaron, were indoctrinated into the Mormon lifestyle and then immediately into their father's business. Most people actually attend university, have student loans and cannot manage on the pathetic `Missed Fortune 101 Budgeting Template (Sample), mostly because it's completely unreasonable. Maybe in Utah expenses are 10x less than they are in other cities, but as a saver, I couldn't even manage with the expenses that were listed in the pretend chart. A water bill that includes sewer and trash for $30, heck, let me live there! My household pays $70/month, not $30, and these figures are all off. Internet for $25? Where?
The unconventional information about our nationwide housing market is good, but if you start a family and have student loans, you don't have much to spare after a mortgage payment. Granted, most people are starting families later, but not mid-30s, as there is grave obstetric evidence that waiting until later in life to have children causes abnormalities. The authors' best asset is their discussions of how strong relationships, a well-rounded work/life balance, tithing to a charity or church, and emotional security can, and will, impact everyone's ability to manage their finances. But if you're looking for a quick-fix answer to making a million before thirty, you need to pass and just pay yourself first!
Decent book with many flaws, but an easy read and well worth it if you find it used to give a younger person a different perspective than their parents handed down to them.
Armchair Interviews agrees.
