The Simple Road Toward Financial Freedom: A Guide to Helping Young Adults Build Wealth

by Mark Schlipman, Steve Short

During their years of friendship, Mark and Steve had many conversations about the need for more financial literacy, especially for the younger generation. There are countless books written by financial advisors and money-savvy consumers alike. But when a financial advisor and a corporate executive combine their knowledge, it enhances the narrative. It also allows Mark Schlipman's 25+ years of experience as a financial advisor to complement Steve Short's consumer-side experience, where he was always told by supervisors and employees he had a real knack for making big concepts easy to understand. This book discusses a number of items, like the 50/20/30 model, practicing "delayed gratification," and taking advantage of "free money," all of which will get you on The Simple Road Toward Financial Freedom. We say "simple" because the concepts are easy to follow and, surprising to most, you don't need to save a million dollars to accumulate a million dollars!

Excellent book for 20 something’s embarking on their career journey

I was interested in reading this book to check my own knowledge and see if I thought it was something my young adult kids might read. My kids aren’t readers! This book however, is written in simple to understand, bite sized chunks with such important life lessons that I feel it’s imperative that they read it. I read on my iPad so I bought the kindle version and now I’m going back to buy the physical book to give to my kids. I am thankful to have had a great financial advisor from a young age and it’s very comforting to know that we’ve followed the same advice recommended in this book.
