If you fail to account for all the sticky and potentially heart-wrenching scenarios that often play out at the sunset of your life, you can leave a legacy of misery and resentment for family members charged with both caring for you and tying up all your loose ends. Through thought-provoking and sobering real-life accounts witnessed over decades in the financial planning space, Garth reveals all the financial traps awaiting you at the end of your life if you fail to plan ahead of time. If you have aging parents or want to spare your own children from heartbreak when your end game plays out, let this indispensable book be your guide.

Garth does a fantastic job through engaging storytelling to make real the hazards of holding on to assumptions you have not challenged. Challenge what you know to be true, expect the unexpected, and be open to learning. The book does a fantastic job in laying out how you can live confidently if you are open to planning in the right way.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This book does an excellent job helping the reader think through the decisions we face as we retire and as we prepare to move on. Most importantly, the book addresses questions we all should discuss and answer as a family just in case we have an event (stroke, dementia, etc.) that leaves us alive, but impeded or unable to make sound financial decisions. While none of us hope for or expect that scenario, we leave our family in a much happier state if we’ve planned for those eventualities while we are lucid. The writer is experienced and trustworthy and the layout of the book makes conversations easy to navigate together with our loved ones.
