Welcome to the online press kit for Pamela Yellen and Bank On Yourself

The average 65-year-old will outlive their savings by almost a decade, according to the World Economic Forum. And conventional retirement plans like 401(k)s and IRAs have failed to deliver the financial security and peace of mind they promised. Many Americans have no clue when or even if they’ll ever be able to retire.

Pamela Yellen, a New York Times bestselling author and financial investigator, knows these concerns. Like most Americans, she followed the conventional wisdom of investing in stocks and mutual funds, only to see her savings vanish. So she took matters into her own hands.

Pamela investigated more than 450 financial products and strategies over 20 years. She concluded that Americans have been brainwashed into accepting they have to risk their money in order to grow it.

"The vast majority of Americans have been sorely misled, time and again, by so-called experts who preach widely-accepted investing methods that history has repeatedly proven simply do not deliver," she says.

Pamela's research led her to a little-known method that prudent, fiscally savvy Americans have used to grow and protect their savings in every period of boom or bust for over 160 years. This proven savings strategy is covered in her New York Times bestseller, The Bank On Yourself Revolution: Fire Your Banker, Bypass Wall Street, and Take Control of Your Own Financial Future," and her new book Rescue Your Retirement: Five Wealth-Killing Traps of 401(k)s, IRAs and Roth Plans — and How to Avoid Them.

Today more than 500,000 Americans are using this method to achieve guaranteed, predictable savings growth, tax-free retirement withdrawals, lifetime financial security and self-sufficiency. Pamela is so confident of its effectiveness that she has offered $100,000 to the first person who can find a better financial strategy.

A refreshing alternative to the same old voices touting Wall Street's conventional wisdom, Pamela has appeared on every major TV and radio network, including ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX, and NPR. Her articles have appeared in hundreds of publications and websites, including USA Today, The Huffington Post, The Associated Press, Fox News and AARP.

Joining Pamela as an advocate for Americans seeking to safeguard their financial future is Mark Willis. Mark is a Bank On Yourself® Professional, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, three-time #1 bestselling author, owner of Chicago-based Lake Growth Financial Services, and co-host of the Not Your Average Financial Podcast™. Over the years, he has helped hundreds of his clients take back control of their financial future and build their businesses with proven, tax-efficient financial solutions unknown to most financial gurus.

"You are entitled to set and meet your own lifestyle and retirement goals, without ever worrying about whether Wall Street, real estate, gold or any of the other unpredictable financial markets will suddenly crash, robbing you overnight of your dreams and the rewards of your hard work," Pamela says. "Our mission is to provide you the plain, honest truth about money and finances that you won't get anywhere else."
