FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE:

Getting Back to Basics After an Economic Meltdown

by Jacob Gold with Jeff Rattiner

"Gold's enthusiasm is infectious." - Boomer Magazine

 

The year 2008 will go down in history as the year the modern world changed financially. Our perspective on reality and money has changed and only through proper financial education can someone get back on their feet and move forward. We all are working toward a point in time where we have financial independence and security for the future. To arrive at this magical place we must get back to basics. We need to retrain our minds to understand the basic rules, strategies and theories of money management.

This book’s objective is to educate the reader on the basic building blocks of money, investing, retirement planning and estate preservation, with an eye to the catastrophe that just happened to most Americans' life savings. With the proper financial education, people will naturally acquire courage and hope for the future through their newfound "financial intelligence."

 

What they're saying...

“Novices seeking to raise their financial awareness can do so with this book. Gold laces common-sense tips into a quick-read format. He covers the highlights of personal money management, starting with debt, cash-flow and insurance issues, then progressing to investing, retirement and tax concerns.” -The Arizona Republic

"Never has a 'back-to-basics' book about personal finance, savings and investing been more needed than it is today. Gold delivers in this easy to read and understand handbook for cutting out the waste and turning a blind eye to the trickery of the marketplace. A must-read for those tired of the disinformation and needing a fresh and uncluttered source for retirement saving." - John Eckberg, The Cincinnati Enquirer, author of The Success Effect
