I found similar issues with the author. He approaches every decision with an attitude of "follow what I recommend" and doen't present opposing consderations for what can be crucial decisions. That was painfully obvious in his stance about CPP and OAS. <br /><br />My recommendation: Save a small amount of money by not purchasing his books and save yourself a large amount of money by avoiding his services.
