Warning! This book is hazardous to financial stress.

Welcome to the start of the rest of your life-the one where you aren't wandering in the (financial) dark without a flashlight. The one where you have a clear roadmap to your future, and mathematical confidence that you and your family can have the life you dream of!

Plan Your Money Path contains thousands of dollars worth of professional financial planning advice, hints, tips, and hacks. Imagine how well you’d sleep at night knowing your boxes are checked—everything the kids will need, all your dreams right on through early retirement, when you’re young enough to enjoy those dreams.

Plan Your Money Path shows you how to take control and build your own financial plan, using high fidelity, inexpensive software (Pralana Online), not the simplistic financial/retirement planning tools you find all over the internet.

It will take you through some important general financial planning context, and then through the steps to building a financial plan for a sample family. Along the way, we'll discuss the different inputs and assumptions required for any financial plan, as well as how to interpret the results, put your plan into action, and update it as your dreams and circumstances change.
