Tax-Free Wealth

What readers loved
★★★★★
Readable, informative, reassuring (and here's a quick way to tell if your edition is up-to-date)

Very reader-friendly style that will instantly appeal to anyone who has been made to feel ignorant by their C.P.A. I've even had to question whether the "expert" was too resentful of my good fortune with a particular investment to bring himself to advise me on how to report the gain. Rather than a few basic points…

beware of misleading book title

This was a disappointing read. some annoying aspects from this book are: 1) almost every page mentions that you need to hire a tax professional, 2) Wheelwright tried to make this an international book and constantly makes references to IRS equivalents in other countries that do not apply to the US, 3) most tax advice…

A must read and re-read, and then share!!

I found this book doing my own research into my own health concerns regarding EMF and RF in my home. My health had been greatly affected by something I could feel but did not see and other thought I was going mad. I am so thankful I purchased this book and so grateful to the authors. I am on the right road to…

Thoroughly researched and professionally presented

I have been searching for quality introductory reading material to ground myself in the subject of EMF. This appears to be a thoroughly researched work that is well written and offers a compelling story of why we should all be concerned with the political stance of technological developments. As somewhat of a techie,…

Dumbest book ever

Save your money. Basically a conspiracy book about nothing. After reading this it's obvious that the whole book is one big hoax and not worth the time. It's no wonder either that Mercola has been banned on every media platform for fraudulent claims.

Save your money - Cannot read alot of it

The important information is printed so light grey that even with a flashlight I can NOT make it out. For this reason I am unable to read the book so itis really almost useless.

4.5 Stars - Highly Recommend- Will Buy Copies for My Kids

I was torn between 4 and 5 stars, because this book is very good. The pay no taxes part of the book is a solid 5 stars. However, I was much more interested in the buy, borrow, die strategies. Those strategies are good, including a fairly thorough explanation and use cases. But there wasn't enough explanation of the…

★★☆☆☆
Shaky advice for ordinary investors.

Page 6 indicates the author doesn’t appreciate book reviews from smart people. He implies they “already know everything”. This told me that the book is intended for a gullible, financially unsophisticated audience. I don’t already know everything, but I can detect a thinly veiled con when I see one. Beginning on…

Even at 67, I Can Benefit Too!

I wasn’t sure how I was ever going to retire, even after doing everything my CPA and financial advisor told me for 27 years. I paid off my home, funded my Roth IRA for the past 12 years, and contributed to my retirement account to get the company match. I thought I was on the right track. But no matter how much I…

This could be a disaster...

This book is just the right thing to get you in a heap of trouble. If everything goes like it has for the past fifteen years (up and to the right while the government prints money), and you have utmost confidence that you can pick the winners, then you'll be great. But if not, watch out. One good 2008-like crisis and…

I'm not sure where I'd be without this tool. In 2014 I decided to finally get help for myself, I started attending a family support group that uses the CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) method, this book is what they teach from. This book taught me that in order for my loved one to change I needed to…

A new twist on an old problem (This is from Keith, not Bonnie)

I find value in becoming a better communicator, particularly when it involves an addict. There are certainly better ways of saying things as well as better times to attempt to say them. Knowing how and when is crucial and this book makes some good points. However, I’m my opinion, this book puts too much responsibility…

Nothing new here. The only thing that relieves my symptoms is at top of her not to be taken list.waste of money. Her case studies imply all one has to do is vacate the exposure, not true. I just dont trust anyone who tells you to drink tap water.

Thoughtful, informative and connects the dots for men who have experienced a breakup. Great read and tangible takeaways. Highly recommend!

A common criticism
★☆☆☆☆
Not a break up manual, more like a breakup pamphlet

There was some good stuff in it about testosterone, but all the rest was very short and superficial. I felt the author was slinging around scientific words without truly understanding them. The whole book seemed more like a long article intended to make you buy his other dating book.

Excellent resource

This is a huge guide to various tax breaks that the IRS allows for the 2020-2021 tax years. It is huge and covers nearly any break you can possibly think of. If nothing else, it may spur you to think about ways to shelter your money from taxes.

A common criticism
★☆☆☆☆
Not enough details to be useful

The author claims how to reduce your taxes but never gives you an actual system to execute. All that it provides is a glance through 100s of tips that without the system are useless. CPAs might benefit from it but not not for anyone else. Ah and to the author, please make peace with the IRS. You are wasting 62 pages…

I read his previous book about quitting vaping and have been clean for 2 years with no withdrawal. Now, I’m ready to give up caffeine. I read this with an open mind knowing that the Easy way works.

OK did I miss something? It’s called the easy way to quit, using the EasyMethod, but I didn’t see a method.’the book gives all the reasons why I should quit and why I haven’t been able to in the past. That intensifies the desire to do so, but the only direction to stop is to decide it’s your last shot. Doesn’t that…

I was a 10+ years daily pot smoker and I was ready to quit after chapter 4. I've tried countless times to quit, and I struggled. Bud was one of my biggest addictions and struggles. Even when I would quit, it wouldn't be for long. This book has helped me so much. Before, I would quit and not be able to fall asleep…

Enjoyable but disconnected

I found the book frustrating because of the dogmatism and black-and-white manner of looking at things. It's incredibly clear this person was never a stoner, it makes for a jarring read. It's still a decently refreshing read for inspiration and insight into addiction, but its also a lazy and almost insulting cash grab…

I don't like the way the author assumes every man is heterosexual

I don't like the way the author assumes every man is heterosexual. Porn is a huge issue for gay men and something geared towards us would be very helpful. All this talk about men being with women and the underlying assumption that this is how it is was quite distracting and annoying. At least put a an acknowledgement…

Not very useful.

Bought this book hoping that there would be useful information inside it....disappointed. If you've been an expat for several years already a lot of the information is redundant. You might get more from this book if you own a business abroad...but even then, real advice is scarce and the book is just full of vague…

52- pages of worth of life transforming and gold advise from the Author. In order to address debts, I had learned (the hard way) that we need to change from within first.

Don't waste your money

I love the YNAB website, app, and overall method, but this book is a waste of a dollar (that should have been given another job). It just regurgitates what is already found on the website and doesn't really deal with real world examples of people's lives. The main message is that all your cash should be used to pay…

The Author is Claiming Other's Work as "Insight"

The author borrows from the book "The Easy Peasy Method" heavily but claims it as his own discovery, citing "insight." The "Easy Peasy Method" is free online so I would go that route. In terms of content, the author contradicts himself. He criticizes "mainstream" methods to quit porn because they rely on science, will…
