BillSeitz	This is a "classic" of financial planning. It's written like fiction, using narrative to convince you to take simple actions. The specific actions he pushes: make a will buy term LifeInsurance invest 10% of your income for growth - this is not for retirement income, this is extra! PayYourselfFirst (automate your cash flow) put into equity actively-managed mutual funds also OK to invest in RealEstate - buy rental home - but much messier/riskier retirement: invest however much it takes to plan on matching your after-tax income in retirement - ideally living off the income not the principal use appropriate tax-advantaged fund: IRA, Keogh, SEP, 401k buy your home minimize other debt (definitely avoid credit-card debt). If you get a windfall, use it to pay off non-deductible debt	2012-10-11 13:44:01.605139
