The IRA/401k Dilemma: How to Plan Your Retirement, Not Uncle Sam's
Douglas R. Andrew · 2025
🎙 Narrated by Douglas R. Andrew (author-narrated)
53/100
👎 Skip It
Douglas Andrew raises real questions about tax timing and required minimum distributions worth taking seriously, but reviewers of his related 'Missed Fortune' work flag that his proposed fixes lean heavily toward insurance and annuity products he has a business stake in, so take the recommendations with some skepticism. His own seminar-style narration gives it an authentic, direct feel, but the lack of a neutral second opinion holds it back. Mixed bag more than a clear recommend.
