The Ultimate Financial Plan
From Jim Stovall, author of the bestselling The Ultimate Gift and The Ultimate Life, and financial planning expert, Tim Maurer, comes the latest volume in the acclaimed Ultimate series.
Like its predecessors, The Ultimate Financial Plan: Balancing Your Money and Life is sure to have a significant impact on the way we think about money. Examining the connection between actions, thoughts, and feelings when it comes to all things financial, the book makes a revolutionary argument: that the key to getting the most out of personal wealth comes from the contentment found in balancing the influence of money in our lives with personal values and goals.
Financial tools?like budgets, bank accounts, 401(k)s, IRAs, education savings plans, and real estate?can play a major role in helping us generate the money we want, but real value comes from investments in our knowledge and understanding, which lead to purpose-filled careers, sleep-at-night security, artistic endeavors, creative philanthropy, fulfilled retirements, and meaningful legacies.
In The Ultimate Financial Plan, Jim Stovall uncovers the Timeless Truths of personal finance while Tim Maurer directs you through Timely Applications, making this book an invaluable investment in your future.
