Get Me to ZERO™ describes 7 synergistic tax strategies to help you legally get your future assets and cash flow off the IRS’s radar screen and pay as little as ZERO income taxes during retirement.

My book explains how implementing these 7 proven tax strategies can offer up to 20%-40% more spendable retirement income than traditional 401(k)s, TSPs, 403(b)s, and IRAs.

Of course, ROTH contributions and conversions are fully discussed. Those are 2 of the 7 strategies. Also described is an amazing little-known, tax-free strategy using OPM (Other People’s Money) to fund a TAX-FREE retirement.

I’ve been a practicing Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®) for over 20 years, serving clients across the country.
Most of them I’ve never met.

My financial planning practice and this book are centered on these firm beliefs:

1) People should not pay a dime more in taxes than the law requires
2) Nor should they take an ounce more risk than necessary to reach their financial goals.

Judge Learned Hand, a federal district and appellate judge for more than 50 years, is said to have been the most influential judge in the U.S. who never sat on the Supreme Court.

Judge Hand said, “Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one’s taxes.”

“Over and over again, the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands.”

That, in a nutshell, is the legal basis for the Get Me to ZERO™ strategies. Proactively and systematically arranging our financial affairs so that our future income taxes will be as low as possible.

You know who your competitors are. You keep tabs on them regularly, and can list them calmly, along with their strengths and weaknesses.

But your enemies are a whole other matter. They’re the haters and the doubters who said you’d never make it, the ones who stomped on your dreams. When you think about your enemies, you get emotional. You feel like you won’t let anything—or anyone—stop you.

In Choose Your Enemies Wisely, Patrick Bet-David, #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author, founder of Valuetainment, and host of The PBD Podcast, shows how to harness that emotion to turbocharge your business, dominate this year, and grow for generations after.

But first, you need to choose your enemies wisely.

Bet-David has spent years perfecting the system that led to the knockout success of his own financial services company. Now, Bet-David shares the secret behind this system: his 12 Business Building Blocks, which will teach you how to seamlessly blend emotion and logic in your business plan. Both a practical document for achieving goals and the fuel needed to fire up yourself and your team, this plan goes beyond the “how” and digs deeper into the “why”: not only how you’ll get funding, but why you need long-term vision; why you must build a culture that makes employees want to run through walls; why you have to know the enemy you’re out to prove wrong. Straightforward and simple, the steps in this book will lead you to move the levers that create exponential growth and lasting success.

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you’ve been hoodwinked into believing that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. This soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma is known as the “The Slowlane” – a risky financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair.

Accept the Slowlane as your financial roadmap, and your financial future will blow carelessly asunder on a sailboat of HOPE: HOPE you can get a job and keep it, HOPE the stock market doesn’t tank, HOPE for a robust economy, HOPE, HOPE, and HOPE. Do you really want HOPE as the centerpiece for your family’s financial plan?

Drive the Slowlane, and you will discover your life deteriorate into a miserable exhibition about what you cannot do versus what you can. For those who refuse the lifetime subscription to mediocrity, there’s an expressway to extraordinary wealth capable of burning a trail to financial freedom faster than any road out there. And shockingly, this road has nothing to do with jobs, 401(k)s, indexed-funds, or a lifestyle of miserly living in a tiny house.

Just some of what you will learn:

  • Why jobs, 401(k)s, indexed-funds, and 40-years of mindless frugality will never make you rich young.
  • Why a Fastlane strategy is the best insurance policy again inflation, economic recessions, and pandemic lockdowns.
  • Why most entrepreneurs fail and how to immediately put the odds in your favor.
  • The real law of wealth: Leverage this, and wealth has no choice but to be magnetized to you.
  • The leading cause of poorness: Change this, and you change everything.
  • How the rich really get rich – and no, it has nothing to do with a paycheck or a 401K match.
  • The indisputable mathematics of wealth is how you and any “Joe Schmo” can quickly tap into real wealth.
  • Why the guru’s sacred deities – compound interest and indexed fund investing – are impotent wealth accelerators.
  • Why popular guru platitudes like “do what you love” and “follow your passion” will most likely keep you poor, not rich.
  • And 250+ more poverty-busting distinctions…

NEWSFLASH! Your mainstream financial guru who’s on 500 radio stations and lives in a $10,000,000 mansion isn’t rich because he religiously follows his own advice– he’s rich because he’s sold it to enough fools who believe it… in other words, he’s driving The Millionaire Fastlane. Demand more. Demand the truth. Change lanes and find your explosive wealth accelerator. Hit the Fastlane, crack the code to wealth, and educate yourself on living rich for a lifetime.
