Your Guide to Financial Security
In Money Management Mindset, author Dennis Bielik begins with an analogy. In the board game of Life, players spin a wheel, which determines how fast or slow they move through spaces that represent various life activities, such as college, jobs, marriage, and children. Players may move quickly or slowly, depending on where the spinner lands. When it comes to a first job, salary is determined by choosing a card at random. Players might land on a space with an unexpected event—some spaces benefit your life, and others set you back.
The great thing about this board game is you can play it more than once. You learn to create a strategy and improve your chances to win. Real life, of course, gives you only one chance. However, we make our own choices about these events rather than rolling dice or drawing cards.
Even more importantly, you can create a financial strategy that will help you manage expected landmarks like marriage, children, and work. There are also strategies on how to handle unexpected events, such as job loss, divorce, and illness. You can learn ways to assess what you dream, want, and need, so that your life and those of your loved ones are as secure as you can make them. This book will help anyone understand how to plan for life and be financially prepared for both the expected and the unexpected.
