You and Your Money: A No-Stress Guide to Becoming Financially Fit (repost)

“The authors have looked at the current disastrous consumer model and envision a ‘New’ American Dream. They break the rules, set up a new framework for humanized finances, and challenge consumers to change the future by changing their habits, now.”
–Dean Brassington, Financial Educator and U.S. Navy Quality of Life Program and Design Consultant

“The great merit of this book is that it reads like an engaging conversation. Given the mass of undigested financial information, everyone needs this discourse that helps to position and orient oneself in the money universe, and then act. It bridges the gap between a complicated world out there and one's personal and family orbit.”
–Jurg Siegenthaler, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, American University

Based on extensive nationwide research conducted by the author and the Institute for Socio-Financial Studies about what people need to learn and do to become financially savvy, You and Your Money gives you the skills you need to be financially competent and self-sufficient…so you can make the right decisions about money–today, tomorrow, always!

You don’t need to know everything about personal finance. You do need to know three things: where you stand today, what you can do now, and how to become more financially secure for the rest of your life.

This book helps you answer those three questions. It’s easy, readable, practical, and quick.

It gives you simple, common-sense tools for achieving financial success…tools you can use in every part of your life, not just finance!
