My guest expert for this show is Kim D. H. Butler; author of Busting the Financial Planning Lies, Busting the Retirement Lies, and the Amazon best-seller, Live Your Life Insurance.  Kim is a recognized expert on creative whole life insurance strategies and alternative investments such as life settlements.

Frustrated with financial planning practices that seemed irrelevant at best, sometimes even harmful! The projections and assumptions of financial planning gave clients a false sense of security, but no guaranteed results. Typical strategies subjected money to more future taxes and put it under the control of others. Worse yet, the system rewards planners and money managers when they convince clients to put (and keep) their money at risk!  "If financial planning doesn't work, what does?"

Driven to find a better way, Kim studied the commonalities between wealth builders. She observed what worked and didn't work in the real world, and found synergy between certain strategies and principles. These common principles later became the 7 Principles of Prosperity of the Prosperity Economics Movement.

Described as a “financial rule breaker,” Butler questions the foundational assumptions we’ve been taught, and backs up her ideas with examples, facts, decades of experience, and calculators.  

Kim’s work has been recommended by thought leaders and authors such as Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad), Tom Dyson, publisher of the Palm Beach Letter investment newsletter, Tom Wheelright (Tax Free Wealth), and Garret Gunderson (Killing Sacred Cows). She has been interviewed by The Real Estate Guys and Palm Beach Letter, and is a frequent guest on Guide to Financial Peace radio with No BS Money Guy Todd Strobel.
