How to end money worries and build an enviable net worth
MARK SKOUSEN'S 30-DAY PLAN TO FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE
by Mark Skousen
[Regnery Publishing]
(reviewed by Jim Powell)
Millions of people earn good money but don't have much to show for it.
Somehow, bills consume everything. Now, fortunately, Austrian economist
and popular investment advisor Skousen provides a practical plan to
really build a nest egg.
While his book title claim doesn't mean the deed will be done in 30
days, the steps he outlines can enable you to make a huge difference
fast. He shows how you can improve your job security and improve your
prospects for a pay raise. He discusses the easiest ways to stop
wasteful spending habits. He recommends a simple, powerful technique for
eliminating consumer debts. He tells how to raise cash and mistakes to
avoid.
Everyone knows budgeting is a sound financial practice, yet many
people don't stick with it because conventional methods are bothersome
and overly complex. In this book, Skousen shows how to make budgeting
easy. He recommends easy-to-use budgeting software, available for only
about $30.
Skousen tells how to start from zero and accumulate significant
investment capital. His strategy involves working through a discount
securities brokerage firm (he recommends 3) which offers convenient,
flexible, commission-free investment accounts. He provides guidelines
for prudent diversification.
Skousen offers plenty of tips to help investors save money. He
identifies 5 banks which issue the lowest-cost credit cards. He talks
about the best no-load mutual funds. He shows how to buy a car for
thousands of dollars below a dealer's sticker price. He adds that there
are 2 sure-fire ways to cut the cost of insurance while maintaining
adequate coverage from a reliable company. He tells how to buy a house
below-market save on financing, too. He shares 5 keys to developing the
ultimate tax shelter (a potentially substantial money-maker and source
of family satisfaction). He explains estate planning techniques to help
avoid taxes, recommends 2 reputable estate planning firms.
What about people with severe financial problems? Skousen advises
against loan consolidation. He tells why he's adamantly opposed to
bankruptcy. He recommends an honorable method of dealing with creditors
and paying debts.
Finally, Skousen tells where you can get valuable information to
help you move onward and upward. He recommends 3 shrewd investment
newsletters. He names 8 investment books, enduring classics which can
help you, too.
Skousen covers so much ground that you are almost certain to find
useful material which can help you gain peace of mind.
