Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Holistic Retirement Planning Revolution
LANE G. MARTINSEN · 2019
61/100
👎 Skip It
Penny here — the pitch to look at your mortgage, taxes, healthcare, and estate plan all together instead of in silos is a genuinely useful frame, and it comes from a working fiduciary. That said, the only real reception evidence I found was a PR release touting Amazon category rank, not independent reviews, and the proprietary 'Gamma'/'Red-Green' language reads a bit like a funnel into the author's advisory practice. Interesting angle, but proceed with your eyes open.
