The Personal Finance Writer and AssetBuilder Chief Investment Strategist
Challenges Wall Street Conventional Wisdom in His New Book
DALLAS – July 8, 2008 – Scott Burns, chief investment strategist for the Plano-based investment firm AssetBuilder, will appear at the Borders bookstore at 10720 Preston Road in Dallas on Thursday, July 10, to sign copies of his new book, “Spend Til' the End: The Revolutionary Guide to Raising Your Living Standard -- Today and When You Retire.” The event runs from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Burns -- a personal finance columnist for the Dallas Morning News from 1985 to 2006 whose column is currently syndicated nationwide -- takes on Wall Street financial planning myths and offers alternative strategies in “Spend ‘Til the End,” co-authored by Laurence J. Kotlikoff ad published by Simon & Schuster.
Burns has taken a hands-on approach to helping investors since leaving the Dallas Morning News, co-founding AssetBuilder, a fast-growing Registered Investment Advisor (RIA). In just over a year in business, AssetBuilder has added more than 300 clients across 24 states, representing $124 million in invested assets.
