Introduction

It is amazing how most high schools, colleges and universities never teach students about personal financial planning. Topics such as the importance of budgeting and saving and selecting proper investments, 401K plans and individual retirement accounts, buying a home and choosing the right mortgage, good debt versus bad debt, and tax and insurance planning are rarely covered. The world continues to present a more and more competitive environment and students, young adults and people of all ages need to become financial literate in order to effectively survive and prosper. In addition, financial advisors and brokers that are supposedly paid to protect and serve their clients are often self-motivated by commissions and fees. Many of the people selling insurance, securities and other financial instruments have limited topical knowledge, yet their sales skills dominate and manipulate the financial illiterate. This book is intended to provide all the relevant information needed to covert the financially illiterate to the financially literate and is written in a friendly format that makes use of pictures and interesting facts, figures and statistics to help communicate the subject matter.
