Synopsis

Build wealth. Fix your money mindset. Retire on your terms.

Wealth Your Way is your practical path to financial freedom—without the fluff. This isn't another generic money book telling you what to buy or which "system" to follow. Instead, it's a powerful roadmap that helps you build your own decision-making framework so you can create lasting wealth and live life on your terms.

Perfect for anyone ready to stop winging it and start planning with purpose—whether you're just starting your career, navigating mid-life financial decisions, or rethinking your retirement strategy.

Cosmo DeStefano, retired PwC partner and trusted personal finance strategist, shares real-world strategies drawn from decades of experience helping individuals and businesses build wealth and achieve meaningful financial goals. This U.S.-based guide focuses on aligning your money with your values through smart goal setting, saving, investing, and retirement planning.

In this book, you'll discover how to:
 
 

• Think about growing wealth (not just what to think)
• Fix the money habits and beliefs sabotaging your success
• Build a personalized wealth plan that actually works
• Use investing as a tool, not a substitute for a real plan
• Spend with confidence—especially in retirement

 
Financial freedom isn't about hitting a magic number. It's about having the flexibility and confidence to make choices without money stress—whether that's changing careers, traveling more, supporting family, or simply knowing you're secure.

If you're tired of feeling overwhelmed by conflicting financial advice and ready to create a plan that actually fits your life, Wealth Your Way will guide you step-by-step toward lasting wealth, personal freedom, and genuine peace of mind.

Get on the path to Wealth Your Way today and live a richer, happier life!

From the Inside Flap

This book is dedicated to helping you level-set your core understanding of financial freedom. It will also focus on developing default behaviors that are well suited to assist you with planning for and achieving your financial goals while living and enjoying your best life now.

There is no one-size-fits-all plan for that. But there is a strategy to create a purpose-built, goals-driven plan tailored to you. You may be a Gen Z coming of age, a millennial with oppressive student debt, or a boomer playing catch-up, but for all of us financial planning boils down to this simple mantra: think about what to do, go do it, then do as little as possible after that! PCR: Plan, Course-Correct, Repeat.
