If you are looking for a book that discusses the most important principle of planning financially for the future, this guide will be a tremendous help.  The book is written in lay language and covers the basics in an extremely accessible format.  The author does not go on and on about boring topics such as your 401 K or planning your insurance needs but he does cover the topics and gets his point across clearly and succinctly.All the topics in this book are important and Mr. Swanson's advice is sound, conservative and good.  One of the sections that I found the most useful in this book, given my age, was the "Withdrawal Stage". I have read a few book about financial security and this is never really explained. In the "Withdrawal Stage" section the author describes how best to go about using the money you have accumulated as a source of income for the rest of your life.This book can be read and digested in less than an hour.  If you are looking for an easy to read primer on financially planning for the future, this book will not disappoint you.
