leading financial advisor and New York Times columnist Carl Richards

Creating a financial plan can seem overwhelming, but the best plans aren't long or complicated.

Knowing what's important to you, you will be able to make better decisions in any market conditions.

The One-Page Financial Plan will help you identify your values and goals. Carl Richard's simple steps will show you how to prioritize what you really want in life and figure out how to get there.

Reviews

  • In a world where financial advice is (often purposely) complicated and filled with jargon, Carl distills what matters most into something that is easy and fun to read. The true measure of a brilliant book is whether the material is as relevant to an industry expert as it is to a layperson. The One-Page Financial Plan unquestionably is. Buy two copies - one for yourself and one to hand to the nearest pundit
