Synopsis

Financial advisors of every stripe tell these and dozens of other lies. But Rick Edelman, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth and the personal finance classic The Truth About Money, exposes the lies financial professionals routinely tell---and, more importantly, the lies people tell themselves about their own money. Edelman exposes the lies listeners have believed, and shows them how to approach their finances clearly and honestly, and sets them on a path toward true, lasting wealth.

People work hard and save, and do everything they've been told to do with their money: participate in reitrement plans at work, carry no high-interest credit card debts, and they invest carefully. But they've been lied to by crooked mutual funds, corrupt CEOs, dishonest auditors, and fraudulent media experts. Their lies have undermined the public's efforts to acheive financial security. So who can be trusted? Many people have concluded that they can trust no one but themselves.

But Ric Edelman is here to tell listeners NOT to trust themselves when it comes to money.Why? Because some of the biggest lies they've heard have been told not by some commission-seeking stockbroker or camera-happy media pundit, but by THEMSELVES. Most people lie to themselves all the time about the money issues affecting their lives. They make bad decisions based on emotion and bias, and rationalize their choices in a desperate attempt to soothe their anxiety. But deep down, their fears fester, and the cycle of lies continue.

Edelman is one of the most renowned and trusted financial advisors in the business. He's won numerous awards and top rankings, as has his firm, Edelman Financial Services, which Bloomberg ranked among the country's largest independent financial planning firms in 2004. Through his columns, his dozens of appearances on radio and tv, and his books, Edelman has reached millions of consumers across the nation.

Listeners must eliminate the lies. Edelman, with his years of experience and his unparalleled insight into the public's actions around money, shows listeners how to identify them and stop lying to themselves. Once listeners are brutally honest about their financial future, then Edelman can help them chart the course towards true wealth
