The personal finance cookbook Easy-to-follow recipes to remedy your financial problems

Nick Meyer

Book - 2024

"The Personal Finance Cookbook teaches readers how to complete personal finance related tasks like budgeting, investing, and buying a house in the approachable style of a cookbook (engaging imagery, list format, each topic can stand on its own, etc.). In the same way that you don't need to know exactly how sugar and flour chemically bond to create cookies, you don't need to have an advanced knowledge of modern portfolio theory, tax code, or credit risk premiums to successfully manage your personal finances. The Personal Finance Cookbook outlines the steps you need to take to complete personal finance tasks, thereby removing paralysis by analysis and actually allowing you to take positive action"--
