Mr. Andrews talks about his own financial crisis to explain just how bad the America financial mess really is. The “nice house, big loan” story goes a bit into his personal life which reads like a novel, but the lesson that “some midlife crises are more expensive than others” is a lesson for all of us to learn no matter what our financial picture is.
Let’s all check it out and blog what we think!

Offshore Investments that Safeguard Your Cash
By Erika Nolan and Shannon Crouch
For investors, the advantages of the offshore world–once the exclusive domain of the super wealthy–is immense. International markets from Switzerland to Panama offer more diversified investments, greater financial privacy, stronger asset protection, more retirement options, and superb estate planning that aren’t available in the US, and in fact, are rarely talked about. Offshore Investments that Safeguard Your Cash comes from the leading authorities on the topic, The Sovereign Society, and gives readers all the information and tools they’ll need to maximize and protect their assets through offshore finance.
Consider this: Today, non-US stocks make up 60% of the total market while the U.S. market capitalization has shrunk to 40%, and the World Bank estimates that more than half of the world’s total personal wealth–well over $50 trillion–is kept in 60 asset havens worldwide. Offshore Investments that Safeguard Your Cash is an essential reference for anyone who’s ever considered moving even a portion of his/her portfolio overseas. This book is a complete guidebook to the offshore world, giving readers the knowledge and tools to pursue the same financial opportunities that the super wealthy have enjoyed for decades. Readers will learn wealth protection and growth strategies from the brightest minds in the offshore world, including how to:
* Lock up retirement portfolios with the world’s best performing, most protective, and most profitable markets
* Legally slash tax bills
* Eliminate threats to wealth, while safely and effectively growing net worth
* Open the perfect offshore account
* Safeguard all assets with one simple structure
The book couldn’t be timelier since managing assets and investments offshore is the perfect weapon against crashing markets, the depreciating dollar and the impact of a recession.
