Praise for My Money Journey
A real-life look at how messy, complex but ultimately rewarding a personal relationship with money can be. -- Morgan Housel, Best-selling author, The Psychology of Money I loved every bit of this wise book. Its financial success stories dont owe to towering salaries or complicated investment strategies. Instead, the contributors chalk up their financial freedom and peace of mind to more relatable factors: healthy savings habits, common sense, and a dash of good luck. I saw a bit of my own story reflected in its pages, and its a good bet that you will, too. -- Christine Benz, Morningstars director of personal finance My Money Journey is a must-read for people of any age or experience who want to be better at managing their financial lives. It is chock full of real-world stories of financial and investing success, and challenge, from people just like us. Theres no better way to learn. Those stories, and the summary lessons from each contributor, provide a great road map for readers as they chart their own course to financial well-being. -- Jack Brennan, Author, More Straight Talk on Investing and the former CEO and Chairman of Vanguard Group Embedded in the unique and delightful financial life stories of 30 individuals are the most important lessons investors must learn. Financial security requires disciplined, regular saving and investing, minimizing costs (as through indexing) and taxes (as through Roth IRAs), and avoiding common blunders. Perhaps even more important than financial health, loving your work and having a genuine interest in others leads to a fulfilling life. -- Burton G. Malkiel, Author, A Random Walk Down Wall Street (50th anniversary edition) I read everything Jonathan Clements writes he is always thoughtful, insightful and full of wisdom. -- Barry Ritholtz, Founder of Ritholtz Wealth Management and host of The Bloomberg Podcast Jonathans biggest gift was teaching all of usgentlyto make better decisions about life. to cherish our loved ones, to savor every day, to make a difference.
