Money Milestones A twelve-month personal finance journey

"Money Milestones: A twelve-month personal finance journey" is an exploration of personal finance as it relates to different events, seasons, holidays, and cultural rhythms across the year. Designed for people beginning their journey to build wealth, each chapter corresponds with one month of the year. We discuss everything you need to know about the financial habits of the economy, like in January when Americans are seeking motivation and opportunity in the new year.

Understanding how people behave unlocks new ways to invest, budget, and make your financial decisions. You cannot hope to build wealth unless you understand the cultural context you are making your choices within, the good news is— understanding is only twelve chapters away!

"Money Milestones" provides a complete financial plan for your family, with examples, stories, and advice to reach your goals. "Money Milestones" breaks down the jargon barriers in investing, taxes, budgeting, and mortgages, and will teach you how to approach these topics with renewed insight and clarity.
