Findependence Day - Softcover
Findependence Day is a novel with a classic plotline spanning 22 years. It stars a couple deeply in debt in their late 20 s, humiliated on a TV talk show, and follows the twists and turns of their life together (and apart) through to the day when the hero, Jamie Morelli, achieves financial independence at 50, on the day he targets following the fateful show appearance.
In the background are two financial planners, each with a specific role in the plot, who help the couple through their trials and tribulations in the form of sage advice on personal financial management. While they make mistakes and encounter many pitfalls along the way, including separation, the couple always get back on track and end up successful and reunited.
The financial advice imparted is always timely and relevant to the couple s stage in life, in effect telling a story about the key elements of a long term plan to become financially independent, which the author clearly distinguishes from retirement. In context this story is engaging, witty and extremely helpful to readers of any age 16 or over.
18 years after The Wealthy Barber emerged as a must-read introduction to investing comes Findependence Day a timely, personal finance novel from Financial Post columnist Jonathan Chevreau. Findependence Day is one couples turbulent journey to financial independence. Under the watchful eye of Theo, a Certified Financial Planner, Jamie and Sheena Morelli encounter the full gamut of personal finance highs and lows, including successfully navigating through a stock market crash.

Review:
Findependence Day is his second novel.
A financial Pilgrim's Progress which offers both entertainment and real life examples and explanations about the things a family should know to navigate the complexities of our financial system. The result is one of the few how-to books you'll have trouble putting down. This book will keep you entertained and help you become rich at the same time. --Bob Veres, Editor, Inside Information
I had sworn never to read another book like David Chilton s witty and wise The Wealthy Barber: I d had the inspiration; it was time for more information. There is also an aggravating sameness to the twig of literature known as the personal finance novel. So I was pleasantly surprised when my friendly counterpart, Jonathan Chevreau, had me hissing, cringing and wiping tears over the characters and moral quandaries faced by his protagonist, Jamie Morelli, on his steep path to financial freedom and personal happiness. Through Morelli, Chevreau recalls way too much about the music of my youth; but I couldn t agree more with the financial advice, the strategies and caution he weaves into an engaging story. I hope he finds many readers! --James Daw, CFP, Toronto Star
