Wealth by Virtue: Rise Above the Maze of Retirement Planning and Personal Finances BY CHAD GORDON

About the book

Wealth by Virtue: Rise Above the Maze of Retirement Planning and Personal Finances concentrates on the six areas of finance, namely: investment, insurance, banking, tax planning, real estate, and legal planning. Most people may not know, but personal finances are all subcategorized under these six. Once you have determined this structure, you can take it all as a whole and start your financial planning there.

This book offers an explanation of the financial world to the general public in the simplest terms. The aim of the book is to let people, even without any prior knowledge to finance and how it works, be able to work out their finances.
