do–but absolutely need to–
before investing a dime.”

Ultimately, this collaboration is how true wealth is achieved and sustained through generations.”

In It’s About More Than the Money, award-winning financial advisor Saly A. Glassman shows you how to regain control over your financial life–and stay in control.

Drawing on everything she’s learned working with a broad cross-section of investors, Glassman teaches you how to plan your finances strategically, place money in broader context, and make your most important dreams a reality. You’ll focus on what you can control and let go of what you can’t…apply investment rules that work…recognize when to do nothing…assess your progress objectively, and much more. Glassman also helps you decide whether you need professional advice–and, if you do, she shows how to find an advisor who will add real value. Packed with insightful investor stories, this book will help you make wiser, better financial decisions–whatever your goals, whatever your age, and whatever the economy does next.
