I haven't read his book but I've watched my parents try to follow his ideas and I'm worried they're going to bankrupt themselves. They're not dumb, my dad has a much more successful career as an SWE than I've had (at least so far) but he's never been great with investing his money.

There are so many bad ideas out there. You really have to be discerning. I don't really know what else to say but I'm glad I never expected an inheritance.

EDIT: I'm out of comments for today but they encourage leverage (specifically with mortgages) without really talking about how VAR works. I'm not sure if it came from the author or somewhere else but they have this really bizarre idea about how real estate markets work. The models he comes up with flat out don't sound like viable economies to me.
