Statistics on rising debt, stagnating retirement savings, mistrust of the stock market, and lack of tax planning are symptoms of a population desperately in need of financial education. Learning how to make money is one thing. It's quite another to manage the money that's earned. Knowing the difference and taking the right actions can translate into a comfortable life instead of disaster, contends Jim Barry, CFP, founder of The Barry Financial Group and host of television programs Talk About Money(r) and Jim Barry's Financial Success(r). In this enthusiastic back-to-basics money guide, Jim Barry brings passion and decades of experience to the task of educating everyday working people about their finances and how they can build a secure future no matter where they're starting. He addresses the readers' underlying attitudes and values, then brings to the table an arsenal of wealth-building principles that, used consistently, can create a solid financial foundation. A host of practical, nuts-and-bolts tools gives readers the means to translate these commonsense financial principles into positive and prudent action. Along the way, in easy-to-understand language, they learn proven steps to: • Manage the money they make. • Think long term to build wealth. • Understand and deal with risk wisely. • Put all the pieces of the financial puzzle together. Inspiring and practical, this is the guide for gaining control over financial issues while building wealth for the future.
