Being in the financial industry, Bruce Helmer has learned that relationships are the greatest influence on how people will plan for the future. As one reader stated, Bruce uses "Plain English" that is seldom spoken in the financial industry to explain some incredibly complex subjects. Bruce challenges conventional ideas and gives examples of why following these ideas often times can be detrimental to your financial health. He also makes one realize you should follow your own passion, because wealth is defined by the beholder. A Must Read!!!

This book really puts everything into perspective. Bruce Helmer points out that the best way to approach financial planning is to focus on the people in our lives. Wealth should not be about attaining a certain value, but about those we love. This personal finance book was written in an easy to read format, and provides great advice for people of all ages!
