No, my best friend’s father-in-law sent it to his daughter (my friend’s wife) and him, as they recently married and he though it would help them to prepare financially for the future. I have a very negative feeling when listening to his conclusions, but thought there was a lot of relevant data. I’m not an economic expert (but understand the fundamentals), and am looking for some who do this for a living/hobby to weigh in.

Preparing financially for the future is really pretty easy. Develop a marketable skill. Work hard at it. Save and invest as much as you can. When investing, diversify. That means a mix of equity and corporate bond mutual funds. No gimmicks, which includes non-producing assets like gold and vacant land. Then retire, or not, as you choose.
