The votes are in...
More than half of the votes went to the very same design. Here it is, the way it will look the day it lands in your hands.

Cover A, chosen by 57% of voters
Take a close look at that coin. It stands for the nest egg you've spent decades building... and that slice pulled off to the side belongs to your "silent partner."
(Uncle Sam, of course. And no, this isn't political... it's planning!)
My favorite part of this cover is the part most people miss: That slice is still sitting right there next to the coin. It hasn't gone anywhere yet!
And that's really what the whole book is about. Most folks assume the size of that slice has already been decided... when the truth is, you have a lot more say in it than you'd think.
Everything I've wanted to say about your silent partner that would never fit in an email:
No cookie-cutter plans. No templatized approaches. Just the conversation I have with the folks I meet, written down so you can read it on your own couch.
One more thing about your silent partner: He runs on a calendar.
Most of the moves that change the size of his slice for this year have to be wrapped up by December 31... and the paperwork behind them takes longer than most folks expect.
Which makes this an autumn conversation, not a December one!
The book is nearly ready! Put your name on the list, and the moment it's released you'll be the first to hear... and my team will reach out for your mailing address so your copy lands right at your door. My treat.
No purchase and no strings. I'll never share your information.
