<p>Get rich slowly! Financial independence is a marathon, not a sprint. The financial crisis revealed the hazards of financial illiteracy. Governments desperately want citizens to become financially independent so they'll be less of a burden on them. Findependence Day presents personal finance in a "can't put down" story format easily digested by young adults entering the work force and the world of money. Because money problems often cause marital breakups, it focuses on the financial journey of a young couple who experience the usual ups and downs of job loss, buying homes, raising children, investing and pensions, starting businesses, coping with stock market volatility and more. The secrets of financial independence are critical wherever you are in the financial life cycle: Newlyweds embarking on family formation will discover the importance of financial planning. Debt-plagued graduates will be motivated to embrace "guerrilla frugality"; Home-owners will learn the foundation of financial independence is a paid-for home. Those in their first jobs will embrace employer 401(k) plans, traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. New parents will discover the need for life insurance and saving for children's education. Mid-life investors will learn how to cut costs in their portfolios while benefiting from the expertise of financial planners.

Is there life after mutual funds? The authors believe so, and think that the "next big thing" for baby boomers is Managed Money. The Wealthy Boomer is a guide to smart investing that looks beyond the current mutual fund mania. It will help the investor weather fluctuations in the stock market and ensure consistently high returns. The authors train readers to look critically and perceptively at mutual fund marketing techniques and help mutual fund investors evaluate the performance of their funds and consider a wide range of investment alternatives. The Wealthy Boomer presents alternatives to some mutual-fund investments, and suggests potential supplements to others. Illustrated throughout with cartoons and graphics, the accessible text and case studies are designed for both the private investor and mutual fund advisors.
