The Financial Crossroads: The Intersection of Money and Life

The Intersection of MONEY and LIFE. There are an endless number of books that tell you what to do with your money. There are even more books that tell you how to, and how not to, live. Why is it that these two things that are so inseparable, money and life, are only addressed separately? This book addresses the intersection of the two. This is not another financial how-to book, nor is it a collection of philosophical rambling that is hard to apply to daily life. It is the Timeless Truths of personal finance. Many of these have been forgotten, destining so many into financial hardship, but they are the essential foundations for your successful financial future. We also offer Timely Applications, giving you the opportunity to apply these Timeless Truths to your daily life. Your financial plan is part of your life, so we never lose sight of that as we address each of the primary elements of traditional financial planning. But instead of dry discussions on goal setting, budgeting, insuring, investing, retirement, education planning, tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning, we'll address topics including: -How to write your own Personal Money Story -How to spend $1 million at Starbucks -What dogs can teach us about investing and taxes -Why you should ditch your retirement plan. The Great Recession has left all of us at a Financial Crossroads. Which path will you take?
