"An essential tool for practical knowledge about personal finance!" Jean-François Proulx, Regional Vice-President, AIM Trimark
This book deals with topics of personal finance (investments, life insurance, retirement planning strategies, etc.) in a warm and humorous manner. Topics are clearly defined and presented in the context of a father and son chat.
From the time he was a young boy, Matthew has always enjoyed fishing with his father, Frank. For Matthew's high school graduation gift, Frank has experienced many of the financial difficulties and struggles common to most people, and has worked hard to find solutions to overcome them. The concepts about finance that he learned in school were not very helpful, and he's hoping that this special time will allow him to pass on the financial knowledge that he's gained during his life, to Matthew.
Matthew's father offers him sound financial advice that can be applied throughout his life. The reader is able to listen in on the conversations shared between an eager-to-teach father, and a not-so-ready-to-listen son. Sound familiar?
With twelve chapter summaries and a index-lexicon, this book is an important and accessible tool for future reference... or perhaps to be passed on to your own children.
