Acknowledgments
This is not the book I originally planned to write. Rather, I had been wrestling with three different projects: a series of pithy financial insights, a collection of questions designed to probe readers' financial views, and a step‐by‐step guide that would help someone get his or her finances in shape. None seemed to quite work on its own. But one day, it dawned on my befuddled brain that together, they might work very nicely. I hope you agree.
For the past four years, John Wiley & Sons editor Bill Falloon and I have kicked around various book ideas, failing each time to reach an agreement. It took far too long, but I'm glad we finally made it to the altar.
My agent on this book was the beautiful, sweet, caring Lucinda Karter of the Jennifer Lyons Agency. Inappropriate comment? Fear not: Lucinda's my wife.
Finally, this book is dedicated to the three Js – June, Joan, and Jerry – my mother, mother‐in‐law, and father‐in‐law. Each is a rock in his or her own way, always armed with a ready smile, a knowing look, an easy laugh, and a generosity of spirit. At a time when I'm supposed to play the adult for others, I couldn't ask for three better role models.
