In this follow-up book, Look Before Your LIRP, he makes the case that, while a variety of 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.

American retirees face a looming crisis. We are living longer than ever before, and most experts predict a dramatic rise in tax rates within the next 10 years. The hard truth is that no matter how much you save, you are likely to outlive your money or watch it be taxed into oblivion. But when traditional retirement distribution strategies won't provide sufficient income in the face of higher taxes, what can you do?

Publisher's Summary
Dream killers are financial and life issues that prevent us from living life to the fullest and achieving our dreams. They include financial issues such as inflation, taxes, and market risk, and life issues such as premature death, job loss, and fear. Our success or failure in achieving our goals and dreams are often dependent on how we battle these dream killers. But in today’s modern economy, life is busy and financial issues can be confusing. The result can often lead us to great struggle in our lives and cause us to “settle” and give up on our dreams.
Ideally, it would be optimal if we had a convenient and effective way to combat these dream killers with a powerful and versatile tool. Just as a pocketknife combines many valuable tools into one “super tool”, The Financial Pocketknife incorporates many financial tools into one financial product...indexed universal life insurance. The Financial Pocketknife explains why indexed universal life insurance is one of the most powerful financial tools ever designed to help families beat the dream killers and build a strong financial foundation.

Good content, delivery a little difficult to digest
I would recommend this book to anyone who is considering investing in an IUL policy. I would also recommend this book to someone who wants to learn more about investing in one’s future.
I didn’t know much about the importance of saving for retirement, and I appreciate the content of this book.
At some times it’s a little hard to stay focused, but overall I got the gist that IUL is a good option for me. It’s actually kind of amazing.
The sound quality and narration varies between chapters which made listening a little difficult. One narrator is very clear in a sound proof room while the other’s voice echoes and is hard to hear especially when I was listening while driving. Hopefully, they’ll have one person narrate the whole book in a sound proof studio.
But I recommend it regardless. I still listened to the whole book and got value. Thanks!

Why you should insure your life!
James L. Stoddard outlines in clear & concise language the advantages & disadvantages of IUL (Indexed Universal Life), a form is permanent Life Insurance. If you haven’t heard of it, this is the best way I know of to acquaint yourself with this powerful financial product. After listening, if you don’t buy it isn’t because you didn’t know about it. A small investment that could potentially yield huge dividends. I highly recommend this audio book!
