Synopsis

New York Times bestseller! Legendary investment guru Ric Edelman offers a prescient personal finance guide on how technology and science is reshaping the way we save, invest, and plan for the future.

In The Truth About Your Future, award-winning financial advisor Ric Edelman reveals how technology and science are evolving at a blistering, almost incomprehensible pace—with profound implications for your personal finances. Ric radically upends traditional financial planning, showing that you need not just one financial plan, but three—one for now, one for later and one for much later. He explains: Why you’re likely to live much longer—and the impact on your financial future; how you must alter your plans to shift from the familiar linear lifeline (school-job-retirement-death) to the new cyclical lifeline; the importance of Career Planning—even if you’re in your fifties or sixties; how to invest in tech companies and how to generate income from your investments; why nursing homes are becoming obsolete—and with them, long-term care insurance policies, and what this means for you; how to protect your digital assets; and how you’ll spend your time—and money—in retirement, and why the future will be the happiest time of your life.

The traditional paradigms of how we live, learn, and invest are shifting under our feet. Fortunately, Ric Edelman has seen the future, and in The Truth About Your Future he illustrates how smart investors can adapt and thrive in today’s changing marketplace. Newcomers and loyal Edelman followers alike will find value in his proven advice and trademark humor. This is a must-have guide for anyone serious about successfully adapting to the ever-evolving financial landscape.

Goodreads review by Sandra on May 18, 2018

This book is a sort of strange pastiche. The first part of the book -- all the information about the future -- is actually far more interesting than the second part, which is about the possible financial implications of all the stuff in the first part. Then there's an Epilogue by Edelman's wife, Jea......more

Goodreads review by Tim on December 01, 2018

It seemed like it took me longer to read this than it actually did. There are several aspects of this book that I find quite interesting, some that are startling, and others I am just not so sure of. First, Edelman introduces two laws that govern technology: Moore's Law and Dator's Law. Moore's Law de......more

Goodreads review by anna on April 05, 2018

This gets a 5 from me not because it's amazing or so forefront in financial planning but it is good that it puts almost everything together and makes sense of how the world will change in the times of technological change happening. Every book talks about tech, AI, blockchain, robots as subjects on......more

Goodreads review by Ismy Haziq on March 03, 2021

This book reveals many topics regarding our near future, particularly about money. Many occupational vacancies will be occupied by technology, but with knowledge, nothing we need to worry about. If we have the knowledge, we can conquer everything. This book loses one star because Edelman could not pr......more

Goodreads review by Stacey on August 15, 2018

A fascinating read on how technology and science will affect the way we live in the future. Parts of this book are very thought-provoking (ideas about college, what careers will be obsolete in the future due to technology, etc.). It's written in a very user-friendly way, using humor. I plan to save......more
