Perfect for you if...

  • You're tired of conventional financial advice and want concrete strategies to unlock wealth trapped in assets you already own.
  • You're interested in tax-efficient investing and alternative retirement vehicles beyond the standard 401k route.
  • You want actionable tactics, not theoretical money talk—and you're willing to question mainstream wisdom about mortgages and insurance.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer passive index fund investing and don't want to actively manage multiple financial strategies.
  • You're looking for a quick motivational read rather than detailed, technical financial instruction.
  • You're skeptical of unconventional financial approaches and prefer advice that aligns with traditional retirement planning.

About this book

Douglas R. Andrew, a financial planner and New York Times–bestselling author, presents financial strategies for wealth accumulation. In Missed Fortune 101, Andrew challenges conventional personal finance wisdom and explains how banks, credit unions, and insurance companies build wealth. He identifies financial opportunities most people overlook and offers strategies to reconsider your approach to your home, mortgage, retirement plans, investments, and other assets. The book covers specific tactics: deploying idle dollars from your home equity, identifying tax advantages, borrowing at lower rates to invest at higher ones, exploring alternative retirement vehicles to manage tax brackets, using life insurance policies as investments, and selecting low-return instruments positioned for future growth. Andrew discusses reaching financial independence before traditional retirement age and outlines principles for smart investing to build wealth.
