Those stories, and the summary lessons from each contributor, provide a great road map for readers as they chart their own course to financial well-being.”Jack BrennanAuthor of More Straight Talk on Investing and the former CEO and Chairman of Vanguard Group“I loved every bit of this wise book. Its financial success stories don’t owe to towering salaries or complicated investment strategies. Instead, the contributors chalk up their financial freedom and peace of mind to more relatable factors: healthy savings habits, common sense, and a dash of good luck. I saw a bit of my own story reflected in its pages, and it’s a good bet that you will, too.”Christine BenzMorningstar’s director of personal finance“A real-life look at how messy, complex―but ultimately rewarding―a personal relationship with money can be.”Morgan HouselBestselling author of The Psychology of Money“Any book can talk about the blocking and tackling involved in personal finance. What I love here are the stories of the stops and starts, the successes and the oops through the decades of a personal journey. No one’s life is a predictable straight line. It is how we navigate the unexpected that gives us the foundations for financial independence and security.”Clark HowardRenowned consumer advocate and founder of Clark.com"These 30 deeply personal essays on achieving financial goals are inspiring and instructive. Great reading for all who want to achieve lifetime financial security."Consuelo MackAnchor and Managing Editor, Consuelo Mack WealthTrack“Embedded in the unique and delightful financial life stories of 30 individuals are the most important lessons investors must learn. Financial security requires disciplined,regular saving and investing, minimizing costs (as through indexing) and taxes (as through Roth IRAs), and avoiding common blunders. Perhaps even more important than financial health, loving your work and having a genuine interest in others leads to a fulfilling life.”Burton G.
