Book Synopsis

Americans young and old are flunking their finances. A shocking 77 percent live paycheck to paycheck with no savings.

Money mastery isn't really that hard. 7 Money Rules for Life(R) can help readers change their futures from uncertain to rock-solid with principles they can apply right away.
