Surviving as a Financial Consumer

Checking accounts, your paycheck, saving accounts, mortgages, credit cards, interest paid, interest earned, credit card interest, banking fees, car loans, home equity loans, stocks, bonds, investments, IRAs, 401Ks, and so on and so on and so on. Throughout our lifetime, we are bombarded with a myriad of financial decisions that we have to make whether we want to or not. It is not unlikely that you will make a decision regarding your finances at least once a day, for the rest of your life. Yet most of us feel ill-prepared to make these decisions. The purpose of this book is to try and show you why these things are setup the way they are, and why, when you are obligated to make a decision, you should choose the RIGHT decision that works for you – not what works for someone else.
