Free Excerpt From The Book (requires Adobe Reader) Today, most of our high school and college graduates receive inadequate (and often erroneous) education with respect to personal financial matters. Consequently, millions of our young adults are financially illiterate. These individuals become easy prey for those entities (i.e. most governments and many financial institutions) that prosper only if our youth adopt a lifestyle that embraces reckless financial behavior.Getting to 30, Financial Advice For My Three Sons, is a manifesto, written by a successful entrepreneur, to his three sons (who in 2009 will be 23, 21 and 16 years old). The book discusses the five critical financial principles they must follow to achieve financial independence, and avoid a destitute life, funded exclusively by the benevolence of a bewildered government. Not surprising, the counsel from a financial savvy parent to this sons is quite different than the boilerplate tips spewed from the lips of many inept financial advisors. The author’s goal is to not only to educate his sons, but also to help our youth understand why their happiness ultimately will be dependent on their ability to live a life that embraces the behavior of a financially responsible person. In today’s volatile, chaotic, and uncertain world such a lifestyle is even more critical to the collective well being of our entire Nation. “Finally, a book that avoids all of the quick get rich schemes and reflects on the traditional financial values that made America great. An ageless classic that is sure to endure for many generations.” T. Williams (Medina, Ohio) “This book provides practical, actionable education to help our children develop long-term wealth and financial independence in these challenging times.” J. Neubauer (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) “This easy to read book will give high school to college graduates a fundamental and common sense understanding of practical business (and life) principles. It is especially timely given the current uncertainty of our economic future.” R.J. Glavic, (Stowe, Vermont) “If you wouldn’t let your kid drive a car without a driver’s license then don’t let them deposit their first pay check without reading this book. A book that is timely and timeless!” Sonya and Dan Dawson (Holland Patent, New York) “Give this book to a teenager you love and help them to achieve the American Dream in this challenging 21st Century.” R. L. Anderson (Seattle, WA) “While reading this insightful book, I quickly knew I wanted my daughters (ages 21 and 16) to read it. By the time I finished, I was trying to figure out how to get all of our elected officials to read this book, not as a legislator, but as a concerned parent trying to guide the children that they love.” M. Bainbridge (Upper Arlington, Ohio) “If our educators ever decided to instill financial literacy in our youth this book would be required reading for many high school seniors and most college graduates. Brilliant!” Irene Wunderle (Chardon, Ohio) All net proceeds from the sale of this book will fund college scholarships for foster kids served by Agape for Youth, Inc.
