You'll learn how to set long-term goals for critical, high-cost events such as retirement, your children's education, and future health care needs. But this technique really shines when you earn higher returns, like the 7% from a diversified portfolio, and give your portfolio time to mature. You can choose the compounding of the returns you earn on your money, so it’s important to understand just how powerful this strategy is.

Budgeting is promoted, spending wisely has its own chapter, and a brief section on psychoanalyzing your personal approach to investing fills out the introductory chapters.The next section of the book gives an A-Z summary of common investment options.
