How do you protect yourself from economic turmoil and achieve a balanced financial life? The last few years have economically devastated most Americans. Multiple financial demands can overwhelm most families. Conventional advice does not teach people how to balance conflicting demands from living expenses, credit cards bills, mortgages, college funds, and retirement investments. The result: record levels of personal debt and home foreclosures. People desperately need actionable financial advice. If I'm So Smart, Where Did All My Money Go? is an engaging look at ten diverse characters who each face different financial challenges. Readers learn from each of these characters how to apply the book's advice to their individual circumstances and balance their financial objectives to achieve lasting wealth.
