Finally! A tax book that lifts the veil for everyone!

My tax preparer was very impressed with the book. She knew some of the strategies in the book because she does them for her wealthiest clients. But, it never occurred to her that they also work for the working middle class who are looking to move upwards financially. I am very enthusiastic about the positive changes I am making in my financial life. Bryan Yen

Taxes rarely excite anyone. Tax-Free Wealth actually got me pumped with ideas on how my family could make more money and pay less taxes. While the tips and secrets aren't for everyone, those with an entrepreneurial spirit will get pumped about Tax-Free Wealth. If you work for someone else and aren't interested in real estate, investing, or owning your own company, don't waste your money – this book is not for you. B. Waddill

If you are a fan (or student) of the “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” series, and understand those basic principles, but may feel as if you are still missing a piece of the puzzle toward building wealth—-then you must read this book. This book will fill that void.

This book ties all the Rich Dad principles together and demonstrates how and why they work to build vast wealth over a lifetime—and beyond—for generations to come. I truly understand now why the old adage of “the rich just keep getting richer” is so true: the tax code. Andrew Stock
