My Thoughts
I thought this 50-page book was a great introduction to financial planning. I have little knowledge in this area and had no problems following it. I definitely would like to try these techniques. I also like that Mr. Swanson relates on a personal level.
I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an easy-to-understand overview of financial planning. This book is a good place to start.
