Description

Over the years, I have observed that, in general, most people I talk to are not happy with the level of overall financial security which they have achieved. Knowing what you are doing and having as much financial security as you can create are the cornerstones of a successful life and make it possible for you to achieve as much of your dreams as you can.
 
The following are just some of the examples of individual situations which I have found to be very common. In fact, the dissatisfaction with their financial security felt by people means that most people are experiencing most of them:
 
They have no clearly defined objectives
They do not know how much they are worth.
They do not pay themselves first
They do not maximize the match in their 401(k), if they have one
Older people have too much investment in stocks
Younger people do not have enough investment in stocks
People are buying individual stocks with no information advantage and in general buying high and selling low
People seem to be paralyzed into doing nothing, even if they are aware of some of these situations, because of the overwhelming amount of information available to them. They have a sense that they should be doing something, but they really do not know what to do.
 
This book therefore fills a critical need which has not been met with the bewildering array of both general and very specific books on achieving financial security. It provides an educational background and then a step-by-step comprehensive analysis of how to improve your financial security, including:
 
Setting objectives
Constructing balance sheets
Managing cash flow
Preparing budgets
Buying appropriate insurance
Planning for retirement
Creating necessary documents for managing your personal affairs

The best way to read this book is to read the chapters in order. This is because the information in one chapter builds on the information in the chapters which preceded it. Remember, this is a step-by-step process which begins on the first step in Chapter 1 and ends on the last step in Chapter 12. Key exhibits make it easy to understand the basic concepts. The only requirements for success are personal involvement and commitment on your part.
 
After reading the book and implementing the recommendations included in the Bottom Line at the end of each chapter, you will have created a level of financial security which will enable you to achieve your financial objectives.
