Ray Lucia now doing Hyundai Commercials?
What is this with the financial gurus needing extra pocket change? First Scott Burns starts his own fee-based planning firm, now Ray Lucia is out hawking Hyundais??
What's the world coming to??

Lucia's pretty greedy - always hawking his books, seminars, affiliates, whatever.
I think he's one of those successful (?) people where the line is blurry between money being the means versus the ends.

Those commercials have been playing for several months now. I think they took "Buckets of Money" and morphed it into "Cars Stuffed with Money". It's a stretch - but Ray sure looks cheerful to be doing those commercials....

There is as much chance of me buying a Hyundai as there is that I would turn to Ray Lucia for serious financial advice.

What I found shocking is that the script calls for people recognizing him, knowing who he is and what he wrote. Better than a book tour. If you quizzed me, I couldn't tell you which car was being hyped.

Actually, I think his 'buckets' strategy is pretty sound. It's really just a special type of asset allocation where instead of looking at allocating *percentages* of your portfolio into various asset classes, you look at allocating a number of years of income in each type.
Actually I think it makes more sense than allocating by percentages in some cases -- those who need 1% of their portfolio each year can certainly take more risk than someone who needs 4% -- but it's not something I'd pay someone a lot of money to implement for me.

I agree with the his buckets strategy in a conceptual sense. I would certainly not sign up with his firm to manage my portfolio though.

That's because he gets to keep the car as-is.

At least Scott Burns has cheerfully admitted that he'll never retire, and maybe he still hasn't emotionally recovered from being let go at his last newspaper job. Or perhaps he's helping his good buddy Kotlikoff stay gainfully employed.
As for Lucia, I think he's just jealous that Suze got to flog GM buckets products...

If Lucia starts calling female callers "girlfriend," then I'll know it's really all over.
