Smoke and Mirrors: Financial Myths That Will Ruin Your Retirement Dreams

Smoke and Mirrors: Financial Myths That Will Ruin Your Retirement Dreams, 5th Edition

Completely updated for 2008
Retire comfortably – it costs less than you think!
Stop making RRSP payments – pay down your debt first

Many financial advisors are nothing more than salespeople offering advice that does not benefit their clients. For example, financial companies perpetuate the myth that you will need $1 million to retire, because the more money you hand over to them, the more money they make through commissions and other fees.

Smoke and Mirrors will give you the ammunition you need to fight back against the scare tactics used by banks and financial planners. David Trahair dispels each myth, chapter by chapter, and shows in an easy-to-understand manner how you can take control over your own finances. The fifth edition of this Canadian best-seller provides updated Excel spreadsheets that you can use to calculate your personal rate of return on your RRSP and track your finances using the instructions in the book. It also includes a chapter on how to choose whether to lease or buy a car.

Written in plain English for the everyday investor, Smoke and Mirrors is loaded with common sense. Read it and turn your retirement dreams into reality.

The following topics are covered in this book:

Pay down your debt before making RRSP payments
Understand that taxes aren’t your enemy
Learn about mortgage secrets that will save you money
Fight back and take control of your money

Included with the book is a CD-ROM containing MS Excel spreadsheets that you can use to track your finances according to the instructions in the book.

System Requirements:

MS Excel or compatible software
CD-ROM drive
Web browser (Internet Explorer version 5 or later)
Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, or NT4
