– Must read
I'm a Certified Financial Adviser, and if I didn't run my own company I would join this guy’s. Seriously, it's a must-read in today's new financial reality. In fact … I'm handing these books out to many of my clients for free, it's THAT important! Thanks, Steve, I hope to meet you in person one of these days.

– Must read for retirement planning
“Smart Is the New Rich” is a great overview of the many facets of retirement planning. It has changed my thinking about how much capital I have versus how much income I will have in retirement. The book provides easy-to-understand, side-by-side comparisons of risks and growth of hypothetical investments in Hybrid Fixed Indexed Annuities and the securities market. A good read and great reference for retirement planning for all age groups!

– Straight talk about retirement strategies
The SMART thing to do is buy this book, read it, tell your friends and keep it handy for future reference. It is an easy read, interesting, clearly written and full of valuable information. “Smart Is the New Rich” gives a practical, no-nonsense approach to the “de-accumulation phase” of investing and is helping me sort out my retirement plan. Of particular interest is the clarification of the strengths and weaknesses of the various types of annuities. Although the charts and graphs are a bit small in the book, the Kindle version allows expansion of the text and is therefore easy to read. If you are nearing retirement and seeking a reliable and sustainable income for a lifetime, I highly recommend you read this book!!!

"After looking into annuities, and getting very confused by all the sales lingo, this book was a refreshing change. I appreciated its clear definitions of the different kinds of annuities, their pluses and downsides, and under which circumstances one may work well while another would flop. No hard-sells, no marketing jargon, just good information. Wish the rest of the annuity industry would take notes."
