Reviews From Other Professionals
Lane Martinsen is back with an all-encompassing plan – a blueprint - to guide you through the 5Ws of managing and preserving your wealth. These are 5 critical areas that everyone seeking financial security in retirement and beyond needs to address. The problem is though that most people are overwhelmed by the numbing complexity of it all, when you combine the income, investment, tax, healthcare and estate planning goals you’d like to achieve. It is unfairly confusing, especially when the tax rules keep changing, and the goal posts seem to keep moving. Not to worry… Lane Martinsen once again sorts this all out for you here. He takes you through this maze of information, boils it down and shows you what to do each step along the way. It’s very easy to follow, and you’ll be amazed at how much you learn. You’ll find the plan that works for you and your family. In addition, the concise summaries of the key concepts at the end of each chapter are invaluable. They help you cement your knowledge and boost your confidence. Dig in and see for yourself!

Lane Martinsen leaves no stone uncovered as he makes a convincing case for a holistic approach to retirement planning. We are venturing forward into a new age of retirement planning and Lane is one of its most important voices. Spend some time with this book and take to heart its vital message. Highly recommended.

Aptly titled, the 5W Retirement Blueprint is a wake-up call, valuable resource, and knowledge base for anyone who wants to increase their retirement income and portfolio life while enjoying the peace of mind that accompanies this mission. Lane Martinsen’s highly informative book makes the case that it’s not enough to accumulate assets for retirement. You need a holistic retirement income plan to help you figure out how to convert those assets into streams of tax-efficient income. Given the fact that this is a complex endeavor, it is best accomplished with the assistance of a holistic retirement income planner.
