Publisher's summary

Money management made simple!

The word "finance" strikes fear into the hearts of many. Despite their intelligence in every other area of life, they can’t seem to figure out how to make a budget and stick to it, why they have no money left at the end of each month, or a way to get out of debt. Even those who are doing a little better find themselves mystified by portfolios, interest rates, and how the stock market works.

If you belong to either of these groups, there’s no need to feel ashamed. These subjects are complicated, and they’re not always taught in school. But when an expert breaks them down and explains them properly, they become far easier to understand. Armed with the right knowledge, anyone can save money, have a retirement account and an emergency fund, and even invest in stocks and bonds.
