Getting Started: The Financial Guide for a Younger Generation

by Brian T. Jones

Getting Started shows Generation Xers how to “grow up” financially by breaking down the stages of life that they will be facing as time goes by. Chapters cover topics from marriage and divorce to real estate, with titles such “Because a Hearse Doesn’t Come with a Luggage Rack” (estate planning) and “Retirement Two Six-Month Vacations Every Year.” Using amusing but pointed stories and anecdotes from his own and friends’ experiences, the author explains the importance of prudent financial planning and management in the early years.
