Product Description

In good times or bad, The Financial Physician is the perfect prescription for everyone's financial future.

And these times certainly aren't good! The economy is in free fall, and people everywhere are struggling to survive. Unemployment is at record peaks, business closures are epidemic, and foreclosures have gone through the roof. Lives are being shattered and millions of people are scared to death. They don't know what to do or where to turn.

The Financial Physician examines the 25 most common causes of financial problems. By making analogies to physical health, it will explain, in clear, straightforward language, why each problem occurs, and gives readers practical, well-tested, no-nonsense advice. Each chapter will include a "treatment section" that tells readers what to do and what not to do in order to avoid and cure their money illnesses and enjoy vigorous financial health.

Specific topics that will be covered include:
* Costly mistakes in buying homes, new cars, and insurance.
* Being swamped by mortgages and debt.
* Pursuing the wrong saving, investment, and borrowing strategies.
* Insufficient spousal teamwork.
* Falling victim to incompetent or unethical financial advisors.
* How our psychological makeup affects our financial success.

5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing treat, December 5, 2009
By steve silberberg (Manalapn NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Financial Physician: How to Cure Your Money Problems and Boost Your Financial Health (Paperback)
After watching and reading many books on finance and investing, finally one that is easy to understand as well as well thought out. Mr. Scatigna clearly defines what mistakes people make and how to rectify them in simple plain language. In these troubled economic times this book is a primer every investor should read whether it be a novice just getting started or a professional who needs perhaps to take a step back. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best financial planing book I read, December 14, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Financial Physician: How to Cure Your Money Problems and Boost Your Financial Health (Paperback)

During the past 40 plus years I have read a large number of financial planning books. However I now have a much better understanding of the many benefits derived through the use of financial planning.
The book is written in a concise format which makes it of interest to readers of all ages.
Thanks for a fine job.
