Tax-Free Retirement

Patrick Kelly · 2018
46/100
👎 Skip It

Patrick Kelly's pitch centers on using permanent life insurance for tax-free retirement income, and it's sold over a million copies — but that commercial success is really the issue, since independent advisers view the strategy skeptically and I couldn't find any non-promotional reviews weighing its claims. Treat it as one insurance-centric viewpoint, not balanced guidance. Skip it unless you're comparing insurance-based strategies with eyes wide open.
