Life is not lived all at once—it’s lived in
moments, days, months, years, and decades. This means that
the financial plans and actions we all have to take to meet
our responsibilities sensibly must be organized by
years and decades. Ben Stein wrote the original
guide to this subjectalmost a quarter century
ago. Now, Ben, along with Phil DeMuth, the eminent
financial planner and writer, have gotten together to update
the book, incorporating the massive changes that have
occurred in the economy in the past 25 years. This book
tells you what and when to save, how much to save, what to
save it in, when to spend, and when to say no to your
present and yes to your future. Yes, You Can
Get A Financial Life! is a time-traveling guidebook on
how to organize the money side of your life for all of the
decades of your life.
