More Life Than Money: How Not to Outlive Your Savings
Get out of the dark and shed some light on your financial future
Knowledge is power. We hear the saying every day, but when it comes to our finances, many of us choose to remain in the dark. The unknowing is what creates a deep sense of dread when we think about the future. Instead of feeling euphoric when we dream about the hobbies and enjoyment we want to experience in retirement, we freeze, tethered to all those things we don’t know. If not checked, we continue down the path of unknowing, accumulating more worries and less confidence, latching onto the only financial tools we’ve been taught.
There is no better time than right now to discover the pieces that have been missing in your financial life. Only then can you set yourself up for success. Whether you are just starting out in your career, approaching, or even in retirement, More Life than Money offers you the tools to invest confidently and tackle the truths that are hidden beneath every money vehicle out there. In a compelling blend of explanatory prose, personal anecdotes, and deeply researched facts, Anthony Saccaro shares the wisdom he’s been gathering for decades, shedding light on how to get command of your finances and break from the unknown.

I so wish I’d run across this book 20 years ago and taken it seriously. I’d be so much better off than I am now.
Author Saccaro explains retirement financing in a way that even my financially slow brain can, at least partially, understand. He also spends some time explaining the economy. Again, while not a financial genius now, I do believe I understand the things I’ve been seeing on the news much better.
I’ve read books similar to this before and often come away with the impression the author was simply aggrandizing themselves. Saccaro claims to put his client’s interests first. I believe him. The advice he gives goes against the advice you’ll get from many of the financial institutions. But he explains every claim he makes with real world examples. He also explains why clients need to understand that often the people they rely on are making suggestions that maximize profits for the financial firm over the clients.
Even though I’m past the growing stage of my finances, I found his advice on Social Security, and Estate planning invaluable.
I’ve often heard that Karma is the “B-word.” But I think it can also be generous to those that deserve generosity. I’m sure the author is financially successful. I suspect that success comes as much from karma rewarding him as from his financial acumen.

This is a must read for those close to retirement or currently retired. Anthony explains and readable understandable language what has happened recently in the market and the history of markets and investments. After losing 14% of my invested money, I decided there must be another way. I was able to read Anthony‘s book in less than a week and understand the other avenues to grow your money that are available to me and other people in similar situation. Take the time to understand how you can take financial control of your future instead of letting people (you will probably never meet) who are just into the commission, run your funds into the ground or if you’re lucky, make you a little bit of money. Not too deep on numbers but clear that there are other investing options that can provide steady growth with minimal risk.

In his profound book “More Life Than Money”, the author Anthony Saccaro guides us in all-important money matters. His book is especially aimed at “people who don’t know what they don’t know about financial matters” as well as older people who are approaching retirement or are already in retirement. The book is based on the precept of having enough money to last all of one’s life. A lot of sound and useful advice is given with regard to this. I found the writing style chatty and easy to follow. This book may save you from a lot of worries and troubles. I certainly think that it deserves a solid five stars. Highly recommended!

Retirement
So while this may seem complicated (you don't know what you don't know, and it can still hurt you) it truly isn't. At its core this is a book that explains common and uncommon problems that happen during retirement. As we are mostly blessed with good health, we can look forward to living longer and this means our financial needs will be greater. This book was really good at explaining the topic and all the intricate details. At worst this book will give you something to think and talk about, but this book will truly help you especially if you are still younger and looking to plan ahead like I am.
