Andrew- Regardless of whether you’re retiring in just a few years or down the road, this book can help anyone overcome the most common obstacles to generating wealth with a set of beyond-the-standard financial strategies. This Top Wealth Strategist Will Help You Become a Millionaire...Even If You're In Your 40's, 50's, or 60's ... It's Not Too Late To BECOME WEALTHY... Make Money Quickly, Safely, and Tax Free ... With Proper Financial Planning and Mortgage Management. NOW, more than ever, Douglas Andrew's years of experience are needed by American Boomers.  And, he has opened up a treasure chest ofThe Last Chance Millioniare wisdom and giving us renewed hope for a sound financial future...no matter what your age...  In this book Doug shows people how to understand and use positive money-making strategies. You are in control of your financial future, and it is more than just a mindset, you get a secure proven game-plan that many have used to increase their fortune by 20 times or more. "When it comes to retirement planning, most Boomers are confused, disappointed, and they feel powerless and isolated.  Some even feel that taking a late retirement and counting on an early death is their only option."  If that hits too close to home to get a chuckle, then you have plenty of company. 78 million Americans were born in the "Boomer" years will hit retirement age in the next 20 years. And, the frightening is that they headed for financial disaster.

The Maui Millionaires - by David Finkel, Diane Kennedy, CPA - Being invited into a secret gathering of millionaires in Maui is intriguing, yet as investment experts David Finkel (The Real Estate Fast Track) and Diane Kennedy (Loopholes of the Rich) point out, distinguishing millionaires as an elite group is the first barrier to be broken down. After challenging readers to question their beliefs and limitations about money (or "upgrade your wealth operating system" as they put it), the authors move on to their "25 keys to dreaming big," including instructions on how to build a group of mentors who will help make your dreams come true. Charitable giving and strategies for leaving a legacy round out the final chapters. While most of these ideas won't be new to self-help readers or Oprah fans, those who haven't considered the impact of negative childhood lessons about money or current limitations to dreaming bigger may find the book fairly insightful. For those who have encountered these ideas before but haven't implemented them, the exercises and suggestions provide a concrete call to action. Until readers have built enough wealth to attend the actual Maui Millionaire event (priced at $30,000), this book—and its frequently referenced online tools——provide a decent insight into millionaire thinking.

 Don’t Just Dream; Execute By Setting Goals - By Lynnette Khalfani - Author of The Money Coach's Guide to Your First Million - Too many people dream of becoming a millionaire but have no real plan for how to achieve it. Well, you can’t become a millionaire just by dreaming, wanting, or wishing for wealth. So many times we get caught up in daily tasks and activities that we forget about setting substantive goals for the future. But in order to accrue substantial wealth, it’s essential that you write out your short-, medium-, and long-range goals. Some of you may not have thought about your own goals much lately. Perhaps your life has been consumed by your children’s world; their needs and wants always come first, and you constantly put your desires on the back burner. It’s a mistake to do that. Financially speaking, you can get yourself so wrapped up in another person—whether that individual is your child, partner, or parent—that you neglect yourself and fail to engage in smart, practical financial planning. You don’t want to look up 20 years from now and think that you should have managed your money better when you were younger.

Everybody Wants Your Money - by David W. Latko - Personal finance guru David Latko cannot tell a lie, and he’s out to expose the liars behind today’s biggest rip-offs—from realtors and stockbrokers to car dealers, bankers, financial planners, and even predatory family members. What sets David Latko apart from other financial commentators? Just ask anyone who has listened to “Money & More,” the roof-rattling national radio show he co-hosts with “professional iconoclast” Earl Merkel. He is not a slick “talking head” delivering hot new stock tips. He’s not the Pollyanna commentator who reduces money management to a few too-good-to-be-true steps. Instead, he uses vivid, real-life tales from the trenches and down-to-earth scenarios to deliver the straight talk on financial issues that affect us every day. His delivery is jargon-free and packed with eye-opening facts the financial industry doesn’t want you to know. His goal is to empower you so that you can be an informed, savvy, world-wise investor who can spot a wasteful surcharge a mile away. With David Latko as the umpire, the game is up for that unscrupulous brother-in-law who wants you to buy into his get-rich-quick schemes or the investment counselor who stops returning your calls as soon as she’s cashed her commission check. David reveals the kind of information you can take to the bank—reaping the rewards for the rest of your life.

 8 Myths About Money - Loral Langemeier - Master Coach and Author of The Millionaire Maker - I grew up on a farm in Nebraska. My family had always worked hard for their money, and as a result, I always equated working hard with making money, with no idea that my beliefs could not have been further from truth. As I educated myself on human behavior and financial strategies, I learned that it’s actually the people who make their money work hard for them, rather than the people who work hard for their money, who end up with more of it. Since creating my millionaire-making program, I’ve learned that I was not alone. Much like our views about many things -- people, relationships, food, and health to name a few -- our beliefs came from our parents, our teachers, and other adults in our lives. These beliefs are ingrained, and because they’re usually subconscious, the cycles are continuous -- until someone breaks them. Beliefs about money are many and varied, but in my research, I’ve discovered that there are a few that predominate.
