What would you think? We were all ready and willing to head to our destination, but there was no one to get us there! What if your financial life feels this way? The lethal combination of a lack of financial know-how, combined with an inability to discern or accept the difference between material wants versus needs, has created a situation where many American families find themselves unable to see an achievable path to long-term financial success. And this type of personal stress is even an underlying cause of divorce in America and a threat to emotional harmony. Ah, but you may already know this. The author wants to help with this book, and the good news is that your family can benefit from this. It seems that a single great determiner of an individual's success is his or her own behavior. You can start today to lead your family to a legacy of strength and a mind-set of building wealth. Read on.)
