Bruce Gauthier was strung along for years as a child and told to believe in Santa Claus. There were whispers about a big payout on Christmas Day, but it really all just a lie. As an adult, he realized that those who tell you to rely on the stock market for retirement are just like the people who lie about the man in the big red suit. The only difference is that the stakes are much higher. Take a journey with the author as he shares his personal experiences with money and helps you: - understand how the privileged few take your money out of the stock market for their benefit-just like a thief who steals presents from under a Christmas tree; - recognize the absurdities of a financial world that actually makes it hard to build a retirement nest egg; - avoid fraud and bad advice that could lead you toward financial ruin. Santa Claus Is Alive and Well and Living on Wall Street is not for financiers, brokers, investment advisers, or anyone with access to inside information from Wall Street. Instead, it's for the everyday worker who wants to build their retirement savings.
