Safe Money Millionaire...
On Your Current Income!"
It is possible to grow wealthy, even during bad economic times,
when you follow a proven blueprint!
Have you ever...
Felt frustrated seeing money disappear in the market?
Concerned that you don't know where to put your money to keep it safe?
Worried about making ends meet with the high cost of living; kids, cars, homes,
credit cards, bills and taxes?
The book "Safe Money Millionaire" could arm you with the information you need to solve these problems.
However, the book itself can never give you a PERSONALIZED plan to help you achieve your goals.
For that it takes a more personal approach. That's why I've been trained as a Safe Money Millionaire Advisor to create a
unique BLUEPRINT...just for you so you can get on the path to becoming a Safe Money Millionaire.
In this no obligation blueprint I could help you discover:
How to find -- on average -- $312 per month you are currently wasting (It's like giving yourself a $3,744 per year raise
without working any extra hours.)
A proven blueprint to show you how to create an income you can never outlive. (Imagine knowing you have an income
for the rest of your life!)
3 ways to protect yourself from the ravages of tax increases! (This powerful strategy is the difference between growing
YOUR wealth...or funding Uncle Sam's spending spree.)
"The Power Down Plan": How to pay off all your debt in 9 years or less. (Imagine that wonderful day when you own
everything free and clear...including your mortgage.)
The 117 year old 'secret' life insurance and 'safe money' financial tools that allow you to keep your money safely
out of the market...while growing EVERY YEAR guaranteed.
WARNING: What you are going to discover is NOT what Wall Street and traditional guru's preach...so be ready
for a totally different approach!
If you're fed up with the roller coaster and want a safe way to grow your wealth...this may be a good option for
you. (It's not for everyone. If it's not for you, I won't waste your time or mine, I'll just let you know and we'll part
friends.)
Remember, there's no obligation. I'll be happy to answer your questions and give you a blueprint that could help you solve the
biggest concerns and issues in your life today. I think you'll find it extremely exciting and liberating to see there is some light at
the end of the financial tunnel!

and then click on the blue HERE at the very bottom. I will get back to you. If you will read it, I will personally purchase the
Book and send it to you. All I ask is that you call or email me when you finish the book and let me know what you thought of
it.

DO YOU RUN A BUSINESS FROM
YOUR HOME OR HAVE ANY
INCOME PRODUCING HOBBIES?
WOULD HITTING A LEXUS FULL OF ATTORNEYS
LEAVE YOU WONDERING IF YOU HAD ENOUGH
INSURANCE?
The homeowners policy is very explicit about excluding coverage for any business activities. While your
hobby of repairing lawn mowers, or selling your hand
-made crafts might not seem like a business to you, if
you receive any revenue from sales, then the insurance policy will view this as a business. In some cases, the policy not only doesn’t cover any items related
to your business, it also will not cover the outbuilding
that you work from, or any other non-business items
in that outbuilding. So, if your woodworking tools
aren’t covered because you sold a stool last year that
you repaired, don’t forget that your yard tools also
stored in that shed will not be covered as well.
Okay, the question is a bit tongue-in-cheek in the way I asked it,
but the point is valid. How much protection do you have? Can you answer that? Do you know if that
amount is enough?
In addition to not having the tools or the products of
your “hobby” covered, if someone is hurt as a result
of what you provided them, or what you made, your
home insurance will not provide you with any liability
protection. This is what we call “going bare” in the
business world and no well-run business would consider it for even a second. The risks are too great.
Remember, with a property loss, you at least know
what you have to lose. But, with a liability loss, the
amount of the potential loss is unlimited. These
types of holes in your protection need your immediate
attention.
The solution is to call us at once to find out if you
need a businessowners policy or if you could add coverage to your current homeowners policy.
HAVE I GOT A DEAL FOR YOU!
If there was a way you could take some dollars and
immediately, every time you put money away, you
could get a 20% match on your money, would that be
a pretty good deal for you?
Let me tell you a story. We had a client with $100,000 coverage for property damage on his auto policy. Now
you might think that there are not too
many cars out there worth more than
$100,000 so your coverage should be
adequate. Maybe even a bit too high.
Well, in this case, you would be
wrong.
$1,000,000
“Bill” let his daughter “Jane” borrow his car one day. While Jane
was turned around to multitask with her son in the car seat behind her, she hit a telephone pole. Now when this pole fell it created a power surge. For about a 5 square mile area, people noticed that their electrical appliances were no longer working. Microwaves, Big Screen TV Sets, Ovens, etc. weren’t working. In
addition to that, many restaurants in the area were finding that
their freezers and coolers were out. Many had to close their
doors because they could not function.
Well, they all started calling the power company. The power
company said they weren’t responsible for the loss and so they
gave them our phone number. We were getting so many calls
that the insurance company finally set up a separate phone number just for this one claim!
So, if you put in $100,000 you would get an immediate $20,000 working for you, would you like that?
After about 2 days, the insurance company called “Bill” and advised him to hire an attorney because they were already out of
money for his limits and calls were still coming in.
And, if you knew that when the economy did poorly
you wouldn’t lose a dime and when it did good you
had the opportunity to participate with the gains,
would that help things out some?
Would you like to be in this position? The loss was many thousands of dollars more than the limit of “Bill’s” automobile property
damage limit.
And, if you had the ability to pick and choose the options in the plan so that YOU were in control of your
money, would that be important to you?
The SOLUTION to this would have been for “Bill” to have an Umbrella policy, but he did not. For pennies a day he could have
had another $1,000,000 of liability coverage.
Well, I have such a product available to you. As an
Elite Gold Member agent of Allianz Life and Annuity company I can offer this to you. Allianz is one of
the largest companies in the world for safety’s sake.
CALL ME AT 964-0637 IF YOU ARE AT
ALL INTERESTED.
How about you? Think it could never happen to you?
“Bill” didn’t think so either!
Call 964-0637 for an Umbrella quote now!

HAD A GREAT TIME FISHING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO!
My brother, Dewayne, Lloyd Talbert and Erval Shipler and I all headed South this time instead
of North like we usually do. Ended up on Stockton Lake in Missouri. Beautiful man-made
lake down around Springfield.
We met up down there with Leonard Miller who lives a stone’s throw from the lake. Believe
me, it was a great idea getting Leonard to go along. He really IS a fisherman. We took turns
riding in his boat because that boat was catching more fish than the other one. The day I rode
with Leonard, before we got 20 feet away from the dock, he already had 2 fish!
Stayed in a nice resort that was really cheap. The entire week only cost us $201 each, including a covered dock. As you can see to the right it was a bit primitive!—–—>>
Just kidding! We had great facilities there, also. The owner had just purchased the resort and
this was part of his remodeling that left the stool outside so Erval and I could take a couple of
goofy photos!
Best fishing we have had in years. Caught a ton of croppies and walleyes. Kept about half and put the others back in the
lake for another day. I even caught a couple of bass.
We had deer and fox running around our area where we stayed and the owner plans on making the resort a hunting spot in
the winter also. There was a 9 hole golf course there but he’s allowing it to grow up to long grass and weeds for hunting
purposes.
All in all, we had a great week. It’s always more fun when they’re biting.
Lew
P.S. We brought lots of fish back with us also.
MY POOR GRANDSON……
About a month ago my grandson (only have 1), Ryan Nicholas Doubleday, decided to catch a baseball with his bare hand
instead of his gloved hand. Instead, the baseball caught him! On the end of his thumb! He dislocated his thumb and
cracked a bone. He just healed up enough to start baseball again and then. . . . .
Two days ago, while playing basketball, he was struck on the top of his head by an apparent elbow while attempting to
stop the other team’s center from scoring and it required a trip to Des Moines to a hospital where they put in staples! It
wasn’t all the blood and pain that bothered him, what really bothered him was that HE was called for the foul! Sometimes
you just can’t win.
THINGS HAVEN’T CHANGED!
“The national budget must be balanced. Public debt must be reduced. The arrogance of authorities must be
moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced if this nation doesn’t want to go
bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance”.
Written by some hot shot Republican right?? Wrong.
It was written by Marcus Tullius Cicero 55 B C (Marcus Tullius Cicero, was a Roman philosopher, statesman, lawyer, orator, political theorist, Roman consul and constitutionalist.)
At the 200th anniversary of the New Madrid earthquakes, all eyes are on this still
active seismic zone in the nation’s midsection.
When I mention earthquakes, you probably think about the earthquakes in San
Francisco in 1906 which registered 8.0 on the Richter scale or the Loma Prieta
quake of 6.9 magnitude that resulted in more than 60 deaths, or the 1994
Northridge quake that measured 6.7 and killed some 60 people, or maybe last years
quake in Virginia at 5.8, or the Oklahoma quake last year at 5.6, or maybe the
quakes in Japan in 2011, or Haiti in 2010, or New Zealand in 2011 and the countries that border the Indian Ocean in 2004.
But the “big one” was in the heartland. It was in a seismic zone called the New
Madrid Fault and is in the Mississippi Valley. In 1811 and 1812 this zone produced a series of 3 temblors of such magnitude that the course of the mighty Mississippi River was temporarily reversed and the water began to flow north! The
quakes generated thousands of aftershocks that lasted for several years. Those
quakes were estimated at 8.0 or greater and were the largest in the continental United States. (The largest U.S. earthquake was the 9.2 temblor that struck Alaska in
1964.)
The quake in San Francisco was felt 350 miles away but the New Madrid earthquake of December 1811 rang church bells in BOSTON, 1,000 miles away!
Recent activity suggest that the New Madrid fault is a highly active seismic zone
that remains capable of triggering major earthquakes, with the potential for damage
and loss of life that did not exist 200 years ago when the earthquakes struck sparsely populated rural areas. What could happen could be catastrophic this time.
Ryan is a smart kid so don’t go thinking he’s like his grandpa and
looks for trouble. He doesn’t. He just made the President’s Honor Roll and was honored for this at Ankeny Schools. And, this
semester, his grades actually went up! Must take after his mother’s side or Connee’s side of the family huh?
Many of our clients laugh when I tell them I carry earthquake coverage on my home and my office. Have for some time
now. Once a quake occurs, even if a small one that is a prelude to a huge one, no agent can bind coverage anymore. In fact,
many insurance companies will no longer add earthquake coverage mid-term. It has to be at your renewal time—only.
If you want this coverage added, better call now. You still may have to wait until renewal time.
Ryan loves sports and plays baseball, basketball and football. He
may never be the next Michael Jordan but it won’t be for not trying.
This is a relatively inexpensive coverage. If your home is brick, it will cost more than if it is frame. Brick homes are more
easily damaged by quakes. There is a separate deductible on earthquake coverage. Usually 5%. Call today at 964-0637
And, besides all this, he is a great kid! Never an ounce of trouble
from him. He will soon be 16 years old and now shares his parents with an 18 month old sister, Kaci, that he dearly loves and
she, him.
You are a great young man, Ryan. Connee and I are very proud of
you.

THIS PART IS ABOUT GETTING RICH . . . . . .
I have to warn you that this part of my newsletter is controversial and some readers might find it offensive.
You probably agree that things are bad in the economy….and aren’t really getting any better.
Every economic indicator points to higher unemployment again, more domestic turmoil and extreme global market uncertainty.
But with 2012 being a Presidential election year you will never hear the real truth. Politicians will only tell us
what we want to hear. They’ll tell us they will balance the budget, lower our taxes, create new jobs, pick up the
tab for your health care and safeguard Social Security.
The truth is, America is technically bankrupt. And despite everything, the worst may be yet to come.
The National Debt has ballooned to over 15 trillion dollars. We are now spending more that $350 billion a year
in interest on our debt. And, it could increase drastically now that Congress has approved another debt ceiling
increase. And they may have to do yet another one.
Meanwhile, Wall Street and financial gurus will continue to claim to be able to predict the stock market cycle
and its direction based on hypothetical theories and technical data but history proves that most of them have been
completely wrong about all the biggest market trends. If you need proof of this go back and see what “Mad
Money Cramer’s” history is. Or go back and replay “Suze” and/or “Dave Ramsey’s” Mutual Fund advice. The
average investor has lost and is losing money in Mutual Funds. You would actually make more money if you
did the opposite of what they recommended! Want more proof? Get the Dalbar Report and read it. Go online to
find it.
Yet Americans continue to listen to the Wall Street propaganda and risk their life savings and retirement
accounts in the stock market. This year every financial publication will promote last year’s hot fund and Americans will flock to this hot fund in record numbers looking for the Holy Grail of investment returns.
AM I COVERED?
If you have an unattached garage on your premises, under your Homeowners policy that building is insured on a Replacement Cost basis. However, if you aren’t insured to 80% of replacement cost on it, you will have depreciation on any
loss you have. Most homeowners just allow the standard coverage under the Homeowners policy to apply here. Many
times that will not be enough.
For example if your home is insured at $180,000 you automatically have 10% for outbuildings, including the detached garage. However, how many garages could you replace for $18,000 today? Not many. You need to insure the garage for, at
least, 80% of the full REPLACEMENT cost to avoid the depreciation at loss time. This could be thousands of dollars in
some cases. Call us if you have a question on this.
I own some property down South that is vacant. It does have an old house that’s about ready to fall down but that’s all.
Do I have liability coverage from my Homeowners policy on this land?
Probably not. Vacant land is land that is unimproved in any way. Insurance people describe vacant land as “land that is
still as it was when God made it!” So if the land has ANY improvements on it, such as a fence, power pole, vacant building, foundation, it is NOT vacant land and must be insured. The coverage isn’t expensive so if the above fits you, call to
have it properly covered.
Your cell phone is stolen. And while the thief has it they run up hundreds of dollars in expensive long distance calls out of
the Country. Is there any coverage for this under your Homeowner policy?
The phone is covered under theft peril, after your deductible but the calls are not covered at all. The Homeowners policy
pays for Direct Damage only.
You leave your sprinkler on overnight and water runs under the kitchen door damaging carpeting. It also flooded
the window well before running into the basement damaging some furniture.
Your insurance company denies coverage under the exclusion for “surface water”! Is he/she correct?
No! Surface water is natural water such as rain or melting snow. This one was “man-made” and is a covered loss.
But sadly, many will learn the hard way, that last year’s hot fund will most likely become this year’s dog.
The Real Truth is they don’t care about your wealth! The system is designed to create their wealth, not yours!
For years, financial celebrities and gurus have been trying to convince Americans that the road to prosperity and
a secure retirement is paved through the stock market. But their objective was never intended to make your retirement secure. Their goal is to sell airtime and advertising for Wall Street.
Their Conventional Wisdom is Flawed!
The reality in our country is proof in itself that the financial advice and Wall Street propaganda that has been
dished out for the past 30 years is not working for most Americans.
Take a look at the hard proof:
Half of all households headed by workers aged 55 to 64 have less than $88,000 in retirement accounts
The average American household with at least one credit card has nearly $10,700 in credit card debt
Trillions of dollars have evaporated from 401(k) accounts
Of those between 45 and 64, 71% admit they are worried about having enough money for retirement
The average American is paying up to 34.5% of their after-tax income straight to interest
In 2010, every 3 months, 250,000 new homes went into foreclosure.

While you are on vacation your next door neighbor’s kid has a beer party and the empties were thrown onto the
roof of your home. Your gutter then clogs up during a heavy rain! It, the gutter, breaks apart causing internal and external
damage. You file a claim for vandalism. Is it covered under your homeowners policy?
No. For a claim to be covered under vandalism, it must be expected that those causing the vandalism did so in an intentional manner to cause harm to your property. I doubt if these teens expected damage to occur.
You are driving down the highway when the hood of your car blows up and strikes the windshield and scratches the
roof of your vehicle. Do you have coverage here? If yes, under comprehensive or collision?
You do have coverage. It is paid under comprehensive. Collision means the upset of your covered auto or a non-owned
auto or their impact with ANOTHER vehicle or object. Not a collision with YOUR vehicle.
Your Dealer gives you a loaner to drive while your car is in for repairs. While driving the loaner car, you have a
total loss. The dealer’s insurer paid $62,000 and filed for subrogation against you for reimbursement. The dealer has a
$1,000 deductible.
You have a $500 deductible!!! How much will your insurance company pay on this loss?
$500! Your insurance company only pays as “excess” coverage in this situation. The dealer’s deductible is $1,000 so he
has to pay the $1,000. Your policy has a $500 deductible. So, $1,000 that the dealer paid minus $500 that is your deductible leaves $500 to reimburse the dealer’s insurance company. Well, how did you do on the above? So you want to be
your own insurance agent huh????

USING A WILL FORCES IRA INTO PROBATE —BANK ADVISOR’S MISTAKE
Mary, a widow, had contributed to her IRA for many years. It grew to over $275,000. She chose to make her contributions to a
bank, whose name won’t be mentioned, to make sure her IRA would be safe and not exposed to Market risk. Mary had one son,
Erik, and a step-daughter from her deceased husband. Her bank advisor recommended that she name her estate as beneficiary so
her will would pass her IRA to Erik after her death. Sounded reasonable, but this advisor’s advice would eventually cost Erik
unneeded time, expense and risk.
When Mary died, her IRA became part of her estate and subject to the terms of her will. Her intention was for Erik to inherit all
of her assets. When her husband died eight years earlier, he left some of his estate to Mary and a big chunk to his daughter from
his prior marriage. In Mary’s mind, it only seemed fair that her son receive her IRA and other assets to create balance, in light of
the fact that her step-daughter had already received a sizable amount of inheritance when her husband died.
Neither Mary nor her son Erik were aware that naming the estate instead of Erik would force her IRA into probate, along with
her other assets. Probate can be expensive and during probate anyone can file a claim for some or all of Mary’s assets, putting
Erik’s inheritance at risk. You can guess the rest of the story: Erik’s step-sister challenged the will and claimed that she is entitled to some of her step mother’s IRA.
billed on your mobile
phone bill for a service you never
asked for. This can
happen when a provider other than your
phone company supplies you with ringtones, sports scores, weather updates,
horoscopes and other unwanted services.
Then your phone company adds a charge
to your bill, typically several dollars. With
land lines the charge usually shows up as
a line item for “miscellaneous” or
“enhanced” services. Your phone company keeps a portion of the revenue.
You see, the problem isn’t what happens when they drive that car. Of
course they are covered, it is on your policy. The problem comes
from the wording in the policy. Your policy provides coverage for all
drivers in your household, even if they are driving a car not listed on
the policy if it’s not owned by you or them. So, now when your child
borrows a friends car they have no coverage of their own. If they
have an accident in that car, they have no coverage at all. Why?
Because your child is no longer a member of your household and he/

blocked. Look at your phone bill each
month for surprise charges , often listed as actually does insure the car they just wrecked, will be coming after
“service charge,” “other fees,” “calling plan” them to collect everything that the insurance company paid out. This
is very common and it’s a very dangerous coverage hole with an easy

Also, avoid calling 900 numbers, accepting
anonymous collect calls and signing up for
contests online via your cell phone, all
common methods that vendors use to
cram you.
If you do get crammed, call your service
provider and demand a refund.
SUCCESS
“Life is but a brief moment of time in which
to prepare for eternity. If you succeed in
all other areas of this life but fail in this
preparation, your life will have been
wasted.”
From the Bible Mark 8:36-37
This is not an unusual situation. In fact, it’s common to make this mistake! In this case, Erik’s inheritance is up for grabs.
WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE…………..
Would you like to have an agent who serves you locally at claim time instead of serving themselves at the time of sale never to
ever meet you or speak with you again? One who is thousands of miles away when you need him/her most?
Most people would choose to have a local agent at claim time even if the premium were higher. Most times it is not!
This is a coverage hole that happens very often, and very few people
understand it. You give your child a car, but the car was purchased
in your name. They go to college, graduate and move out on their
own. Of course they are still driving that car, and you have just left it
on your insurance policy. After all, they are just starting out and need
all the help they can get. Unfortunately, they don’t need this particular kind of help.

Put the car in the child’s name and have them get their own insurance policy in their name, with their address listed as their household.
I know, this sounds like a lot of paperwork and effort but there is a
huge added benefit.
Now you don’t have your personal assets on the line every time
they take the car out.
DO YOU HAVE STENTS IN YOUR ARTERIES?
Stents are not the best initial therapy for stable coronary
artery disease (CAD), reports David L. Brown, MD. Medicines such as beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, statins and
daily aspirin are just as effective as stents at preventing
chest pain, heart attack and death in CAD patients. Patients
who already have stents should be sure to continue taking
their medicines as prescribed—it is the medications, not the
stents, that prevent a future heart attack.
David L. Brown, MD, is professor of medicine, division of cardiology, Stony Brook University, New
York, and leader of an analysis of eight clinical trials, published in Archives of Internal Medicine.
