    Testimonials from past Spending Game course attendees

    This is course imperative for anyone who wants to be proficient in using the Spending Game! I not only learned how to model specific strategies, but how to use the entire program on a whole different level!

    There is nothing out there that competes with the accuracy of spending game. Not even close. And clients love it

    I cannot recommend this course enough - well worth the investment of time and money to get more familiar with this powerful financial planning system. After the course, I feel much more comfortable Innside the Spending Game, and now can ask more meaningful and informed questions for those unique and complex cases that might come up from time to time. The “hands on” approach of having us build out scenarios was great in that it helped us learn through our own mistakes.

    The spending game makes a client realize that they have been taking care of their finances based on opinion, rather than facts.

    Greg G. - Woodbury, MN

    This class was awesome! It gave me a ton of confidence in the software and I feel like I can take on more sophisticated goals for the clients, like moving money to a policy and seeing how they will have more spendable income in the later years. I wish I had taken it a year ago. It forced me to grow, and gave me the assurance that I was using the software correctly.
