The Guru Gap: How America’s Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track

Learn why retirement strategies recommended by America’s famous financial gurus are often inadequate—and discover a math-based plan for wringing the most efficiency out of your retirement savings. Gurus like Dave Ramsey, Suze Orman, and others have amassed followers by the millions because of their paint-by-the-numbers financial strategies that are easy to digest and implement. And while they have helped many Americans eliminate debt and take their first steps toward financial freedom, their dumbed-down financial advice is inadequate and incomplete for those looking to maximize their savings.  In fact, disciplined investors who have saved well and played by the rules risk losing hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of their retirement journey by heeding this outdated, one-size-fits-all advice. In The Guru Gap, David McKnight, bestselling author of The Power of Zero, closes the gap between what mainstream media personalities advise and the sophisticated, math-based approach your retirement plan requires. This strategy includes: The most cost-efficient way to ensure you never outlive your money A step-by-step plan to shield your savings from the threat of future tax increases Insight on how to shield yourself from the risks that threaten to derail your retirement plan This book is your guide to understanding the shortfalls of guru-based retirement strategies so you can bridge the advice gap that stands between you and a sustainable financial future.
