Greg Warner Releases Personal Finance Guide "Cookbook for Money"
New guide teaches financial planning to women in a practical and thorough manner.
Walnut Creek, CA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) May 3, 2005 -- Financial planning
expert Greg Warner announces release of his new personal finance guide,
"Cookbook for Money: A Financial Guide for Women Who Want to Focus on Creating
Home, Health and Happiness." Mr. Warner is a financial planner who educates
women about money and helps them create positive options in their financial
lives. The book can be found at Amazon.com, Borders.com and www.cookbookformoney.com.
The rationale behind the new
personal finance guide states that money isn’t the key to happiness--but having
your money situation in hand can help free up mental and emotional energy so you
can begin creating the things in life that do bring you happiness.
"Many
of my clients are women who have been recently divorced or widowed and have no
idea about their financial lives or how they can finance retirement," Warner
says. "I wanted to write a book that explains in simple terms the financial
principles and strategies that can enable them to gain control of their
financial lives so they can turn their focus back to more satisfying
things."
Warner uses a cooking metaphor to convey these principles and
strategies in simple, easy-to-understand language. An avid cook himself, he also
knows that cooking often invokes feelings of warmth and comfort, and he’d like
women to have this experience when thinking about money. "Many of my clients
don’t have large sums of money. Even so, they prefer to focus on more important
areas of their lives than financial planning
concerns," he says. "If I can spread some joy by reducing their stress and
concern about money, then I have succeeded."
The 256-page book includes
such topics as: Creating Memorable Meals – Happiness, Money and Retirement;
Recipe for a Successful Spending Plan; Cooking Basics for Money; Teaching Kids
to Cook – Passing on Money Skills; Serving Your Five-course Meal – Investing;
Cooking for One – Suddenly Single; and Final Cooking for Your Family – Your
Estate Plan. The book includes checklists and step-by-step instructions that
guide the reader as she implements the strategies for saving, spending and
investing wisely. It is also indexed for ease in reviewing or finding a topic of
special interest.
The book is also unique in addressing the myth that a
lot of money is necessary for happiness. Warner draws on research from
psychologists and researchers that shows that once a person can afford life's
necessities, increasing affluence matters little, and in fact, may provide
diminishing returns. He also presents ways for parents to impart to children and
grandchildren a sense of appreciation for what they have.
"Cookbook for
Money" is like a conversation over the kitchen table--simple, practical and
thorough. If the financial planning principles and strategies it contains are
implemented, it can also be a powerful tool to help women gain a sense of
satisfaction and joy in thinking about and managing their personal
finances.
