Wonderfully Practical

What a wonderful book. I'm 28. When I was younger I received little financial advice from my parents beyond: you should save. But no advice as to how to do that, especially when circumstances in life require you to take on a certain amount of debt. At that point, what I never knew was, when there are ten pots I'm supposed to be putting money into, which one comes first? What do I do with bad financial karma I created as an idiot in college? And to top it off, what about the pipe dreams of a home ownership and retirement?
Tyson's book answered my questions and more. The book starts by having you take stock of where you're at and how to deal with your present circumstances, moves on to creating goals, and then goes about the task of fulfilling them. Through it all he helps lay the basic groundwork for a fundamental education in financial principles and terminology which should be required course for any high schooler and yet...isn't.
This book will probably become annual reading for me every tax season as I examine what I did and where I'm going. If you're like me and suffer a lot of confusion and doubt as to your own financial situation or how to set and fulfill goals for your money, this is the book you want. |
