{"product_id":"the-one-page-financial-plan","title":"The One-Page Financial Plan","description":"\u003cb\u003eWhenever I tell people about my job as a financial advisor, the conversation inevitably turns to how hopeless they feel when it comes to dealing with money. More than once, they've begged, \"Just tell me what to do.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's no surprise that even my most successful friends feel confused or paralyzed. Even if they have a shelfful of personal finance books, they don't have time to make sense of all the information available. They don't just want good advice, they want the best advice--so rather than do the \"wrong thing,\" they do nothing. Their 401(k) and bank statements pile up, unexamined or maybe even unopened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat they don't realize is that bad calls about money aren't failures; they're just what happens when emotional creatures have to make decisions about the future with limited information. What I tell them is that we need to scrap striving for perfection and instead commit to a process of guessing and making adjustments when things go off track. Of course we're going to make the best guesses we can--but we're not going to obsess over getting them exactly right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fact is, in a single page you can prioritize what you really want in life and figure out how to get there. That's because a great financial plan has nothing to do with what the markets are doing, what your real estate agent is pitching, or the hot stock your brother-in-law told you about. It has everything to do with what's most important to you. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By now you may be wondering, \"What about the details? How much do I need to invest each year, and how do I allocate it? How much life insurance do I need?\" Don't worry: I'll cover those topics and many more, sharing strategies that will take the complexity out of them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The most important thing is getting clarity about the big picture so you can cope with the unexpected. Maybe you'll lose the job you thought was secure; you'll take a financial risk that doesn't pan out; you'll have twins when you were only budgeting for one. In other words: Life will happen.\u003cp\u003eBut no matter what happens, this book will help you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to go.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Portfolio","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover \/ New","offer_id":53021547430208,"sku":"9781591847557","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/8912\/3648\/files\/imageloader_049cf646-af29-4832-9aab-942eab0fe431.jpg?v=1786661142","url":"https:\/\/silverstreetbooks.com\/products\/the-one-page-financial-plan","provider":"silverstreetbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
