The Value of Debt in Retirement [PDF ebook] 
Why Everything You Have Been Told Is Wrong

Increase the odds you won’t run out of money in retirement
– using debt!
Conventional wisdom is wrong – being debt free in
retirement may actually increase your risk. The Value of
Debt in Retirement teaches you how incorporating debt into your
retirement strategy may increase your return, lower your taxes and
actually lower your risk. You read that right. If handled
correctly, debt–that thing we’ve all been taught to
avoid–can play an integral role in your life,
especially in retirement. New York Times Best Selling Author
and nationally acclaimed financial expert Tom Anderson shows you
how to use the time tested strategies of the best companies and the
ultra rich to retire comfortably, minimize taxes, buy the things
you have always wanted to have and do the things you have always
wanted to do.
Thought provoking and against the grain, Anderson explains why
your risk tolerance doesn’t matter, why being debt free may
actually increase your risk and why rushing to pay off your
mortgage may be a financial disaster. Full of shocking revelations
and tricks high- net-worth individuals have used for years, The
Value of Debt in Retirement opens the world to a new approach to
wealth management in retirement, one that factors in both sides of
the balance sheet as an integrated ecosystem.
Real-world case studies illustrate how informed debt strategies
can lead to a happier, healthier retirement. See how an individual
with a net worth of more than $5 million can spend $20, 000 per
month – after taxes – and pay less than $5, 000 per year in taxes,
how it is possible to increase your rate of return by 50%, and how
a lower risk portfolio with debt could increase the chances you do
not run out of money.
Specifically written to Baby Boomers, practical guides and
checklists show how to use debt strategies to fund primary and
secondary properties, refinance credit card debt, and finance
hobbies, such as cars and boats and recreational vehicles.
Additional guides show how you can help your children, help your
parents and leave a bigger legacy for your heirs and favorite
charities. Regardless of your net worth, The Value of Debt in
Retirement provides tools to use to apply these concepts to
your personal situation.
There is no free lunch: the book delivers a balanced perspective
focusing on the potential risks and benefits of the strategies
discussed. A discussion on economic history highlights some of the
shocks the economy may face and provides important warnings that
you should factor into your retirement plan. Anderson not only
shows that your life expectancy may be longer than you think, but
also illustrates that many investors may be on track to average
returns well under 4% for the next ten years – a potentially
devastating combination. Irrespective of your beliefs about debt,
The Value of Debt in Retirement proves risk is more
important than return for retirees and provides suggestions on ways
to minimize that risk.
Not all debt is good and high levels of debt are bad. The
Value of Debt in Retirement is about choosing the right debt,
in the right amounts, at the right time. Perhaps most importantly,
this book isn’t for everybody. This book requires responsible
actions. If you can’t handle the responsibility associated with the
ideas then this book then it isn’t for you. If you need a rate of
return under 3% from your investments then you may not need this
book. But if you can handle the responsibility and if you need a
return above 3%, this book may offer insights into the best (and
potentially only) way to achieve your goals.
