How to be successful with your finances can be summarized on a single sheet of paper–there isn't much to it, but it takes more than a generic plan. This book will help young professionals make sound financial decisions while cultivating the necessary psychology to stay the course over time. Gong draws on over a decade of tutoring experience to break down personal finance into relevant and digestible kernels of knowledge that are applicable and actionable.
