Book Nook: Investing Simplified

I recently had a chance to review Investing Simplified by Chuck Price. What I liked about the book is that it's not just written by one person, so as a reader, I got several different viewpoints, that still worked together to form a cohesive whole.

Investing can be a very complicated subject. Honestly, despite my love of numbers and data as a math teacher, I remember asking my grandpa multiple times to explain the stock market to me and still not quite getting it. This book aims to educate the average person to understand their investments better - to work with their financial advisor to get a better understanding of the big picture, to better investigate choices of financial products, and to ask the right questions of your financial planner to make sure you're using the right products.

Planning for your future is important - long-term care, retirement, wills and estate planning all have financial implications for you and your family. If you don't fully understand what you're doing, it's hard to maximize your earning.
