"VeriPlan is a big help. I'm in my mid 50's and have been a diligent saver and passable investor for many years. I am going through a work transition from salaried corporate employee to independent consultant, and my aging parents are needing financial help. Financial planning is particularly important to me and my family now. Thanks for making your product available. I've recommended it to a number of folks and will continue to do so."J.H. in Portland, OR

"Larry, Thanks for the response. I watched the videos you’ve made so far on YouTube. Very good. In fact one of them addressed a situation that applies to me. I first learned about the zero federal taxes on long term capital gains when under the 25% marginal income tax rate from working with Veriplan a number of years ago. I’m no longer working but not yet receiving RMD’s or social security so my ordinary income is relatively low. So I’ve been taking full advantage of zero federal capital gains taxes by selling off my high expense ratio mutual funds which have a lot of capital gains built in since I’ve held them a long time and then I reinvest them in index mutual funds which don’t generate as much capital gains distributions. So the education that you and Veriplan provide has saved me thousands in taxes, not to mention the expenses on high cost mutual funds. Thanks again."M. D. in El Paso, TX

"I finally had the opportunity to dig into your most recent upgrade. It is amazing how far the product has come since I first interacted with the 2010 edition and the 2016 update shows the large amount of work done to make a major improvement in the product. The property and debt improvement is substantial. The fact it allows for buying and selling analysis of properties prospectively opens the door for using it with a number of primarily real estate oriented clients and I’m looking forward to that. I am also quite pleased to see the inflation rate adjustment with debt repayments. Thank you."Email update from L. M., Senior Investment Advisor in Idaho
