THE WORLD DOESN’T NEED another book that explains investing, home buying, estate planning, insurance and other personal finance issues. Instead, what it needs is a book that takes these issues, gauges the implications for each individual reader, helps readers settle on a plan—and then gets them to act.
From Here to Financial Happiness is that book. It’ll take you on a 77-day journey that tackles your entire financial life, helping you to figure out where you stand, what you hope to achieve and what you need to do. Somedays, the book offers a brief financial lesson. Somedays, you learn about yourself. And somedays, you will need to take a few simple steps. Most day’s reading and activity should devour no more than five or 10 minutes.
In return for that modest effort, you will come to understand your current financial situation—and what you need to do to succeed in the years ahead. The hope: By day 77, you’ll be thinking of money not as a burden, but rather as something that’s integral to your life and that, with a little effort, can make it so much richer.
From Here to Financial Happiness is available from Amazon as a hardcover and Kindle edition. It’s also available elsewhere, including Barnes & Noble, where you can purchase either the hardcover or the Nook edition.
