David gives a 1-minute summary of all his books on retirement.

The Power of Zero: How to Get to the 0% Tax Bracket and Transform Your Retirement.

The book outlines a step-by-step plan for getting to the 0% tax bracket in retirement, because if tax rates double, as some experts predict, two times zero is still zero.

Look Before You LIRP: Why All Life Insurance Retirement Plans Are Not Created Equal, and How to Find the Right One for You.

David explains that while various LIRPs may help get you to the 0% tax bracket, not all will do so with the same efficiency or effectiveness. In fact, finding the right LIRP for your tax-free retirement plan can be just like finding the ideal spouse. Just as you likely had a list of qualities you were looking for in a life-long partner, you should have certain attributes and provisions in mind when looking for the ideal LIRP.

The Volatility Shield: How to Vanquish the 4% Rule & Maximize Your Retirement Income.

In this book, David breaks down financial truths that challenge conventional wisdom and reveal the gaping hole in people’s retirement picture. He also reveals how you can open a volatility shield account that allows you to pay for your retirement living expenses in the year following a down market.

Tax-Free Income for Life: A Step-by-Step Plan for a Secure Retirement.

David lays out a comprehensive, step-by-step roadmap for a secure retirement and how to shield yourself from longevity risk as well as the unintended consequences of higher taxes.

The Infinity Code.

This book speaks of the evils of the modern monetary theory, which says that we can print an unlimited amount of money to pay for our nation’s burgeoning debt load.

David shares insights from his upcoming book, Guru.

Americans love charismatic gurus who dish out one-size-fits-all financial advice that is easy to digest and implement.
However, the dumbed-down financial advice offered by Dave Ramsey and other gurus is good for bad investors but bad for good investors. David believes that while these financial gurus sometimes dispense good advice, it’s nearly always at the expense of the best advice.
