Most Millennials don't want to even think about their financial future, let alone make a plan and act on it. They're too busy surfing the intergalactic web, communicating in 140 characters or less, and drinking beer. But Millennials, especially those that like this stuff the least, are the ones that need it the most. This book is meant to educate and entertain. It provides simple explanations about saving, investing and spending money, plus a fourth part about living. It even encourages readers to have a cold brewski as they read it and provides a chuckle or two along the way. Though personal finance is a serious subject, there's no reason you can't laugh a little while learning about it, as long as you don't chortle so hard that beer comes out your nose. That would be a terrible waste of the golden nectar. You don't have to be a genius to understand this stuff. There are just a few common sense things you need to know. As you'll learn, Isaac Newton was a genius and screwed up big time when it came to investing. You don't have to do the same.
Author Biography
Years ago Barry Pencek decided he would someday write a book for his four sons, to pass along to them some common sense and practical advice on finance, among other things. In 2006, after a career flying with the Marine Corps and several airlines, he began volunteering at consumer advocate Clark Howard's Consumer Action Center, answering phone calls from across the country. It was then that he realized it wasn't just his sons in need of such advice, but the entire "younger generation," so his family project morphed into The Millennial's Guide to Wealth. Barry resides in suburban Atlanta, GA with the love of his life Mary, and spends most of his time reading, writing, tinkering and drinking the occasional beer.
