Making It Count

Financial planning can be fun. No, really. Although society and tradition dictate exactly what to do with your money-go to college, buy a home, invest in a 401(k), and so on-we don't all want the same things in life. One plan does not work for everyone. It's time to push our beliefs aside and reexamine what we know about money. Leading financial advisor Ryan Poterack is here with an all-new framework for thinking critically about your finances. Using real-life stories and case studies, he explores many of the possible choices you'll face in your financial life and guides you through making great decisions to help achieve your goals and dreams. Whether you're deciding between owning or renting a home, investing in stocks and bonds, considering a 401(k) or an IRA, saving for higher education, or planning your estate, Making It Count will show you how to make your money work for you so that you can live the life you want.
