There's More to Financial Planning Than Financial Planning

Book excerpt: A more comprehensive, topic-by-topic approach to securing your future that can prevent you from leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table. There’s More to Financial Planning than Financial Planning doesn’t simply cover the obvious topics in personal finance. Brian Zeek and Dee Dee Brooks go beyond the fixation on investment portfolios to present a comprehensive picture of financial planning that includes everything from car insurance to the ins and outs of a home mortgage to health insurance and the lesser-known benefits of life insurance—and shows how so many people leave tens of thousands of dollars on the table by not tending to these crucial issues. With an intuitive, one-topic-at-a-time layout, There’s More to Financial Planning than Financial Planning makes a resounding case for a smarter, and genuinely comprehensive, approach to building a watertight financial plan.
