Are You Good with Money? The average American is not good with money. Most of us spend rather than save, accumulate too much debt, and make decisions from habit and "common sense" rather than logic and financial literacy. Reality check: If you don't manage your funds, prioritize savings, and invest to outpace the rate of inflation, you are effectively losing money-and with it, financial security for you and your family. In Making Sense of Money: How to Outsmart Inflation, Build Financial Security, and Leave a Legacy, second-generation family business owner Jim Whitehurst helps you rethink money management from the ground up. With practical advice designed to instill the confidence to make meaningful changes, Making Sense of Money provides a springboard for financial action. If you're ready to become a better steward of your money so you can cultivate wealth and expand your opportunities, this book is for you.
