Book Description

June 1997
Money Lessons for a Lifetime is a marvelously entertaining, homespun book on personal finance. Money Lessons offers clear, personal insights about people and their money success stories rather than particular strategies. It is warm, anecdotal, and filled with timeless wisdom on how to make smart money decisions.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Jorgensen hosts a nationally syndicated radio talk show offering financial advice and is also the author of It's Never Too Late to Get Rich (1994). Just like a storyteller serving up a homily that makes its point before one realizes there's a lesson involved, Jorgensen sits us down and tells us stories about saving and moderation and planning for the future. His narratives demonstrate a commonsense approach to financial planning and include such topics as mutual fund ratings, dividends, compounding, and asset allocation. Among Jorgensen's three dozen lessons are also straightforward explanations of life insurance, social security, and IRAs. Recommended for those who are looking for sound yet simple, basic financial advice. David Rouse

Review

How can an ordinary individual become wealthy? All that's needed is time and a values-driven strategy. This doesn't focus on 'hot' funds or get-rich-quick schemes; but upon building wealth over time while staying happy with daily affairs. The focus on small investments in key manners enables even those with relatively little savings or income to make investments which will build. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: Money Lessons for a Lifetime: Stories, Observations, and Tips on Living a Prosperous Life (Hardcover)
This book tells you the honest and SIMPLE truths about money and how to make it grow. Anyone regardless of age, income, etc. can follow this advice if you really know what you want. This is not just a book about money (though mostly it is), it is also about making the best out of life. It is an easy, enjoyable read... and one of the best investments you can make! As a single, 30-something mom who is just starting to think about retirement (funds) I am now designing a financial plan for myself and my son's future. Thanks Jim Jorgensen... for ever word!
