Why I Wrote Money Smart                                                                                Retun to Top

In the years since 2007 when the national financial devastation came to light, the so-called financial experts haven’t said a word about why they didn’t warn people. They didn’t tell people not to borrow against their home’s temporarily inflated value or to stop buying badly overpriced stocks. They didn’t suggest planning for change but stuck to their standard advice—to just go right on doing the very things that got us into trouble in the first place.

I’ve watched in dismay as millions of people saw their dreams for financial independence vaporize in a sea of financial mismanagement. I saw the depth of the myths, and, in some cases, the outright lies that had been told about money and the damage they had done. Worst of all, I realized that all of this would continue to happen unless people adopted a new approach and so decided to share my approach that serves me so well, even through the last decade.

Money Smart is an award winning money book that provides a proven approach to personal money management with investment advice and a complete set of time-tested tools to manage your money and create financial freedom. You will find that I'm not your typical money management expert and that Money Smart is not one of the standard money books that offer very little with many words. It's my complete approach and I wish you financial freedom.
