During their years of friendship, Mark and Steve had many conversations about the need for more financial literacy, especially for the younger generation. There are countless books written by financial advisors and money-savvy consumers alike. But when a financial advisor and a corporate executive combine their knowledge, it enhances the narrative. It also allows Mark Schlipman's 25+ years of experience as a financial advisor to complement Steve Short's consumer-side experience, where he was always told by supervisors and employees he had a real knack for making big concepts easy to understand. This book discusses a number of items, like the 50/20/30 model, practicing "delayed gratification," and taking advantage of "free money," all of which will get you on The Simple Road Toward Financial Freedom. We say "simple" because the concepts are easy to follow and, surprising to most, you don't need to save a million dollars to accumulate a million dollars!
