Here is a article by a business site that is also Christian based that makes 
a lot more sense.

You also have to remember, the guy who wrote the first article is a so 
called "financial flanner" of who most of the ones I have dealt with 
generally have lining their pockets ahead of the customers needs. For

and bundles a very poor investment product with a poor rate of return.
