Money Lessons for a Lifetime: Stories, Observations, and Tips on Living a Prosperous Life

Explains the benefits of investing a little over a long time with stories and anecdotes, giving tips on a variety of ways to save money

Jorgensen hosts a nationally syndicated radio talk show offering financial advice and is also the author of It's Never Too Late to Get Rich (1994). Just like a storyteller serving up a homily that makes its point before one realizes there's a lesson involved, Jorgensen sits us down and tells us stories about saving and moderation and planning for the future. His narratives demonstrate a commonsense approach to financial planning and include such topics as mutual fund ratings, dividends, compounding, and asset allocation. Among Jorgensen's three dozen lessons are also straightforward explanations of life insurance, social security, and IRAs. Recommended for those who are looking for sound yet simple, basic financial advice. David Rouse
