Exiting the Matrix is a personal finance book that challenges the conventional wisdom of financial planners and the use of the stock market as the primary place to save for retirement. It serves as a warning to individuals that the "traditional" financial planning advice being prescribed is actually the main reason most people will never be able to retire. Millions of people blindly follow the age old advice of:- Invest for the long term- Buy term insurance and invest the difference - The stock market averages 10% a year - 529 plans are the best places to save for college - Invest in a 401k plan at work for retirement . . . and the list goes on. Guess what? It hasn't worked (for most people). Exiting the Matrix takes you on a financial journey to reveal the truth about our financial system and expose the stock market based financial planning industry for what it truly is—a systematic process of transferring wealth. The perceived notion of “retirement” is rapidly disappearing and millions of Americans undoubtedly feel they are living more like Alice in Wonderland than as enthusiastic participants in the American dream. A financial tsunami has arrived and Exiting the Matrix: How Conventional Wisdom is Ruining Your Financial Future reveals just how deep the rabbit hole truly goes.
