In recent years, the Financial Planning Association has created an extensive archive of information on financial planning topics. FPA, the organization on which thousands of financial planning professionals rely, has drawn from that archive and from up-to-the-minute observations from its financial planners to create this book to help you make smart financial decisions and realize your life's dreams. This book will provide you with basic guidance to establish and maintain your financial health. You'll learn how to organize your financial information and view your finances the way financial planning professionals do, as a series of interrelated considerations that work together to create your whole financial picture.
