Missed Fortune 101 is like no other money guide. Its author, successful financial strategist Douglas R. Andrew, dares to question the conventional wisdom on personal finance that most people accept. He reveals the ways banks, credit unions, and insurance companies amass tremendous wealth--what they do and what they don't do. He shows readers how to seize financial opportunities they never knew existed. With Missed Fortune 101 as a guide, readers will never view their house, mortgage, retirement plans, investments, or other assets the same way again.

Readers will learn how to:
  • Put the lazy, idle dollars trapped in their home to work safely--and reap as much as an extra million.

  • Discover hidden and perfectly legal tax breaks and treat themselves to some surprising windfalls.

  • Play the bankers' favorite game--borrow at one rate and invest at a higher one.

  • Explore lesser-known retirement vehicles and avoid falling into a higher tax bracket when they stop working.

  • Turn a life insurance policy into an investment, and keep taxes down and capital up.

  • Find out which low-return instruments should be in their portfolio today and why they'll become high-return stars tomorrow.
