I wish I had had a copy of this book several decades ago! At the time I am reading it I am entering my retirement phase (or dreams.) This book is what we should be teaching our children at the beginning of their financial lives. It covers so many topics that most people find difficult to understand or retain their understanding of. Even if you don't learn everything from this book you will learn intelligent questions to ask your own financial advisers.

I was just expecting this to be another financial book, but I was really blown away by how thoroughly it covers finances. Here are just some of the topics: Creating a Financial First Aid Kit (emergency contacts, personal papers, contents of wallet, personal information, children, grandkids, pets, and much more); Listing Your Assets (bank accounts, CDS, collectibles, stocks, and more); Organizing your retirement plan; Your home & real estate; compiling your income; organizing your debts, personal

At over 200 pages, I'm quite certain the author managed to think of everything you could possibly need. There are tips and notes everywhere, all subjects are concisely and simply explained, worksheets are included (but because the layout can make them unnecessarily bulky and some customization may be necessary, the author considerately offers printable versions online), suggested next steps, end of chapter check-ins, a suggested financial review calendar...

Excellent and easy to follow guidance that is explained in an approach that is relatable to anyone that reads this. I will definitely be utilizing tips from this book!
This is a very important, useful book. My mom passed away recently and she had already made many financial mistakes that no one could help her with because not even she remembered her account numbers, passwords, etc. This books also helped me to think about the big picture of where I am financially and where I want to be. I will keep the information up to date as best I can in order to make things easier for myself and my children.
I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Netgalley.
Informative. Much more in-depth/detail than ie xpected.

This was not what I was expecting..... it is FAR more in depth and detailed than I had thought possible. Definitely geared towards planning for a crisis / death but organising for the future.

Excellent book!!!
This book was extremely helpful for me. I now feel in a much better place about my finances and knowing exactly where I am going, what my target point is, and how I am going to get there. This takes the complicated out of the word "finances!" If you have ever said, "I don't know anything about finances, this book simplifies it for you. Just know this isn't a read in a day book, as you work through the book, it does require real effort, work and thought on your part. Thank you for allowing me to

There is a lot of great instructions for setting up and preparing your family for later years or when tragedy may arise unexpectedly. I enjoy the layout of this book. I look forward to begin filling in the book for my loved ones so they are equipped to handle my business and personal affairs. My hope is they'll grieve and not worry about things. My husband and I are working on filling in the blanks for them, through the use of this book.

This is a great resource. I wish I had this book years ago before we ended up in bankruptcy. However I do find a lot of the practical tips and advice given are useful now and not stuff I knew. And I do consider myself a fairly financially savvy person. I thought it was comprehensive and easy to understand.
This book will benefit anyone, from minimalist, tiny-home owners, to billionaires.
Great short explanations of tax forms, great advice on personal finance management, and document retention. A lot of documents need to be kept for 6 years!! It would be great to have an electronic, fillable copy of the stocks and bonds management sheet because no one put all their eggs in one basket.

I received the Kindle version of this book in a Goodreads Giveaway and I found it super useful. Some of the information was not applicable for me at the current moment yet I'm glad I can go back and reference as needed. The font in the Kindle version is a bit small; however, I don't think the physical copy will have the same issue.

Where was this book 30 years ago when I was just starting out on the journey to adulthood and finances? 😊 A must have when you are starting out in life and just learning about finances and how to prepare for retirement.
I received this book from a Goodreads giveaway; thank you!

A wonderful book to get your finances in order! This book is a must have!
I don’t like to give spoilers on the books that I read. I believe the blurb on the back is enough for you to decide if you will read the book or not. If you choose to read, enjoy!
Smart. Helpful. Easy to understand. Definitely a must read.
Fantastic financial prep book
This is a great book for getting a bearing of what kinds of things you need to be financially aware.

At first blush, I was overwhelmed that a financial preparedness guide could be over 200 pages. But once I dug into it, it was full of concise definitions, tips and notes, along with tables to record all of your various financial details. While it's never fun to think about your own mortality, it is comforting to know that when I complete this, I will be eliminating a large potential burden from my loved ones. ...more
