Publisher's Synopsis
Everyone's life is a series of stages: childhood, primary school, secondary school, college for some, getting your first apartment, marriage, starting a family, buying your first family home, managing your growing family, balancing work and family while managing your career, empty nest stage and finally, the retirement state. Money mistakes you make in one stage can have a ripple effect, impacting one or more subsequent stages. Make too many money mistakes and you will find yourself in perpetual catch-up mode, the rest of your adult life. Those who make the right decisions at every stage, tee themselves up for financial success. In this book, I will show you exactly what you should be doing at every stage of your life. The foundation for sound financial decisions are smart money habits. When you have smart money habits, you are able to save and invest during each of the stages of your life, so that when your kids leave the nest or you enter your retirement stage, you are free from financial worries and not financially dependent on your children or loved ones. Financial success is a process. Understanding that process, and following it, virtually guarantees that you will become, at the very least, financially independent and, perhaps, even wealthy. In this book, I will share with you that process, embodied by specific smart money habits for each stage of your life. By following the lessons in this book, you will immediately catapult yourself into the top 5% of individuals - the 5% who never have to worry about having enough money.
