It is never too late to get your finances in order, get out of debt, learn to save money, and start an education or retirement fund. Financial education and knowledge are your greatest assets.” The book offers easy-to-understand solutions to get on track to financial freedom as well as address unexpected financial “curveballs” such as losing a job or becoming a victim of identity theft.
