What if you broke all those necessary tasks into fifty simple steps? Take one small step each day or each week and by the end of the year, your financial life is fixed. It's a painless way to get started."

"I loved it. I took the book with me on a cross-country flight and you would have thought I was flying at supersonic speed because the time flew by. I read it cover to cover and was not only entertained but time and again I kept wondering, why didn't I think of that."
