Recommendation

In lively, engaging prose, New York Times correspondent John Schwartz explains family financial milestones: investing, buying a house, declaring bankruptcy, paying for education, enduring medical disasters, incurring debt, buying insurance, saving for retirement and writing a will. His interludes about his family’s financial struggles and successes make this enjoyable, educational reading for anyone who needs a financial road map, but doesn’t quite know where to start.

Take-Aways

  • The key to a stable financial future is to start saving early.
  • Don’t try to beat the market when investing. Buy into indexed funds, which are reliable and charge low fees.
  • Most Americans’ primary asset is their house.
