What if the biggest threat to your retirement isn't the stock market? What if it is the plan, you haven't made yet?
"Solving for X: The Retirement Equation Nobody Taught You" is the book for anyone who knows they should be planning but keeps putting it off, anyone who's afraid the number isn't going to be enough, and anyone who's spent years listening to financial advisors who made them feel judged, confused, or simply ignored.
Bruce M. Weinstein has spent more than forty years sitting across from people at every financial starting point imaginable. What he's learned is that the math of retirement is rarely the problem. The plan is, and the plan starts here.
"Hope is not a strategy. This is real-world truth from a guy who's spent decades helping real people avoid real pain. It's about freedom. It's about not becoming a burden. Read the damn book." - Brad Lea, Entrepreneur and Founder of Lightspeed VT
"Many people do nothing when it comes to financial planning and it costs them years of forward momentum. I've known and coached Bruce Weinstein and watched him become a true pro. Read the book, work the process, and build the momentum you're looking for." - Coach Michael Burt, 24x Author and America's #1 Activation Expert.

Bruce M. Weinstein, The Planman
Bruce M. Weinstein has spent more than forty years in the financial planning and insurance industry, building a reputation not on sales numbers but on the lives, he’s changed along the way. He has worked with thousands of clients across every stage of life and every financial starting point, guiding them through the decisions that matter most with the kind of honesty, creativity, and genuine care that most people never expect to find in a financial professional. He is a consistent top producer in his field, though he’ll tell you the only metric he’s ever cared about is whether his clients sleep better at night.
Bruce is the host of the “Ask the Planman” podcast, where he continues the conversations this book started. When he’s not working, you’ll find him with his beloved rescue Boxers who remind him daily that loyalty and unconditional love are worth more than any investment portfolio. Bruce is also an active supporter of Boxer and Great Dane rescue, because he has always believed that the most important things you can do with your resources are protect the vulnerable and show up for those who can’t speak for themselves.
He and his wife Robyn have built more than a business together. They’ve built a life around it. Robyn has been his partner in every sense of the word, working alongside him and keeping the foundation strong through all of it. He is grateful for her and for the unwavering support of his children, who grew up watching him pour everything he had into helping other families get it right.
