Rightsizing

What if everything you knew was wrong? This surprisingly lighthearted fictional memoir is the story of “The time when we thought we were rich.” If you've been around for the last decade, your story is probably in here. Richard Neaumeau's "memoir" contains elements of stories the author has gathered over the last few years from many people -- possibly including you or someone you know. Humorous, affectionate, and even instructive, Rightsizing is a fictional biography of the last decade. Rich wants what every young executive wants: a great job, a fabulous wife who happens to like him, a big, beautiful home – all the material rewards of a corporate life well lived. One Friday afternoon, everything changes. Soon Rich finds himself making life-altering moves that he thought were only for One Percenters. With his loving wife Joni at his side, Rich sets out to build real wealth – not just a good salary, but a life plan that will achieve his ambitions. When the economy heads south, and the corporate climate changes, suddenly Rich finds that everything he always believed is at least open for review – if not just plain wrong.
