About Our Guest:

Tracey Spikes believes that Debt and Taxes are two of the greatest detractors of wealth accumulation and spendable income that Americans face today. He has studied income in America extensively and came to the shocking conclusion that well over 50% of what Americans earn over their lifetime goes to paying taxes and/or interest.

It’s for these reasons he uses the Smart Advisor Tools suite of software that includes Debt Free 4 Life™️ and Tax Smart 4 Life™️ as part of his advisory work with clients, and trains similarly-minded advisors.

DF4L is a debt elimination app that uses risk management-based products, like life insurance, to modify a “snowball” approach to debt elimination and cash flow management.
