For many, setting and keeping financial goals can be a very difficult discipline to learn, but McCarthy presents an excellent collection of tools that will benefit those seriously interested in taking charge of their own long-term financial strength. A finance writer and instructor, he demonstrates his skills in explaining complex facts in easy-to-understand, practical terms relevant to any listener. Key topics covered include creating and analyzing personal financial statements, setting up wills and estates, developing sound spending plans, and planning for retirement. Setting and achieving financial goals can easily involve much more than the obvious 401(k) structure, and this resource covers additional topics, such as insurance planning and preventing intestate proceedings. The mix of narrators, real-life examples, and sharp summary tips and major points make this highly recommended for all larger public libraries.ADale Farris, Groves, TX
