Speaking from his heart and personal experience, Michael speaks about how to get your finances in order. Since financial issues frequently are at the bottom of interpersonal issues in a marriage, and stress related health issues in a body, control over finances can be at the heart of improving these aspects of life as well.</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d3212\"><br></p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d3212\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]The book is beautifully organized to cover the many aspects of financial life, starting from the negative side of the balance sheet by discussing steps to take to get out of debt, moving through managing money on a daily basis, and continuing on to preparing for the future by investing, insuring to cover unforeseen events, and teaching your children. Michael offers specifics, and references places to get help or more information. He gives clear descriptions of the reasons behind different considerations, and even includes a “dictionary” of terms.<br><br>Financially Speaking is a good read whether you’re a novice at tackling managing your money or you’re experienced. There are some good reminders and ideas which might not yet have come to mind. And all of it is presented with a sense of joy, and personal touch, shown in the poems and anecdotes included to illustrate various points. Michael Mathews is a person of caring and integrity, with a desire to help others improve their lives. I highly recommend “Financially Speaking.[/expander_maker]</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d3212\"><br></p></div></div>\n</div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320a\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\"><strong><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8202fa\" style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\">Cathy Flowers</span></strong><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Oak Park, Illinois</span></p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone on_hover\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8030c4\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d3212\">Congratulations on another good one! Although it’s been over 8 years (if not more), since I edited your first book, it was like a refresher in some ways; but also good and fresh information, for the most part.

I particularly gained lots of insight from the content in chapters:</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d3212\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]? 7 – Estate Planning<br><br>? 8 – The Deadly Killers – very educational and so real to our culture<br><br>? 9 – The Children really resonated with me because this is something we did not get as children, but it’s such a blessing to pass it on to the youth in our families.<br><br>? 10 – Self Improvement – this resonates with me because self-improvement is continuous. Your tools and tips really add to the process of the overall self-improvement journey.<br><br>Your poems are really awesome! Definitely something you should consider in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My biggest personal takeaway is to not be anxious to get the new car and purchase a condo, townhouse, etc., again until my finances say yes, without question.

Speaking from his heart and personal experience, Michael speaks about how to get your finances in order. Since financial issues frequently are at the bottom of interpersonal issues in a marriage, and stress related health issues in a body, control over finances can be at the heart of improving these aspects of life as well.</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5df\"><br></p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e1\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]The book is beautifully organized to cover the many aspects of financial life, starting from the negative side of the balance sheet by discussing steps to take to get out of debt, moving through managing money on a daily basis, and continuing on to preparing for the future by investing, insuring to cover unforeseen events, and teaching your children. Michael offers specifics, and references places to get help or more information. He gives clear descriptions of the reasons behind different considerations, and even includes a “dictionary” of terms.<br><br>Financially Speaking is a good read whether you’re a novice at tackling managing your money or you’re experienced. There are some good reminders and ideas which might not yet have come to mind. And all of it is presented with a sense of joy, and personal touch, shown in the poems and anecdotes included to illustrate various points. Michael Mathews is a person of caring and integrity, with a desire to help others improve their lives. I highly recommend “Financially Speaking.[/expander_maker]</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e3\"><br></p></div></div>\n</div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box on_hover\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320a\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\"><strong><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8202fa\" style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\">Cathy Flowers</span></strong><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Oak Park, Illinois</span></p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8030c4\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e4\">Congratulations on another good one! Although it’s been over 8 years (if not more), since I edited your first book, it was like a refresher in some ways; but also good and fresh information, for the most part. The chapters 5 thru 10 certainly increased my knowledge and were also “food for thought”. I particularly gained lots of insight from the content in chapters:</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e6\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]? 7 – Estate Planning<br><br>? 8 – The Deadly Killers – very educational and so real to our culture<br><br>? 9 – The Children really resonated with me because this is something we did not get as children, but it’s such a blessing to pass it on to the youth in our families.<br><br>? 10 – Self Improvement – this resonates with me because self-improvement is continuous. Your tools and tips really add to the process of the overall self-improvement journey.<br><br>Your poems are really awesome! Definitely something you should consider in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My biggest personal takeaway is to not be anxious to get the new car and purchase a condo, townhouse, etc., again until my finances say yes, without question.

Speaking from his heart and personal experience, Michael speaks about how to get your finances in order. Since financial issues frequently are at the bottom of interpersonal issues in a marriage, and stress related health issues in a body, control over finances can be at the heart of improving these aspects of life as well.</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5df\"><br></p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e1\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]The book is beautifully organized to cover the many aspects of financial life, starting from the negative side of the balance sheet by discussing steps to take to get out of debt, moving through managing money on a daily basis, and continuing on to preparing for the future by investing, insuring to cover unforeseen events, and teaching your children. Michael offers specifics, and references places to get help or more information. He gives clear descriptions of the reasons behind different considerations, and even includes a “dictionary” of terms.<br><br>Financially Speaking is a good read whether you’re a novice at tackling managing your money or you’re experienced. There are some good reminders and ideas which might not yet have come to mind. And all of it is presented with a sense of joy, and personal touch, shown in the poems and anecdotes included to illustrate various points. Michael Mathews is a person of caring and integrity, with a desire to help others improve their lives. I highly recommend “Financially Speaking.[/expander_maker]</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e3\"><br></p></div></div>\n</div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box on_hover\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320a\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\"><strong><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8202fa\" style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\">Cathy Flowers</span></strong><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Oak Park, Illinois</span></p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8030c4\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e4\">Congratulations on another good one! Although it’s been over 8 years (if not more), since I edited your first book, it was like a refresher in some ways; but also good and fresh information, for the most part. The chapters 5 thru 10 certainly increased my knowledge and were also “food for thought”. I particularly gained lots of insight from the content in chapters:</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e6\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]? 7 – Estate Planning<br><br>? 8 – The Deadly Killers – very educational and so real to our culture<br><br>? 9 – The Children really resonated with me because this is something we did not get as children, but it’s such a blessing to pass it on to the youth in our families.<br><br>? 10 – Self Improvement – this resonates with me because self-improvement is continuous. Your tools and tips really add to the process of the overall self-improvement journey.<br><br>Your poems are really awesome! Definitely something you should consider in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My biggest personal takeaway is to not be anxious to get the new car and purchase a condo, townhouse, etc., again until my finances say yes, without question.

Speaking from his heart and personal experience, Michael speaks about how to get your finances in order. Since financial issues frequently are at the bottom of interpersonal issues in a marriage, and stress related health issues in a body, control over finances can be at the heart of improving these aspects of life as well</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e1\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]The book is beautifully organized to cover the many aspects of financial life, starting from the negative side of the balance sheet by discussing steps to take to get out of debt, moving through managing money on a daily basis, and continuing on to preparing for the future by investing, insuring to cover unforeseen events, and teaching your children. Michael offers specifics, and references places to get help or more information. He gives clear descriptions of the reasons behind different considerations, and even includes a “dictionary” of terms.<br><br>Financially Speaking is a good read whether you’re a novice at tackling managing your money or you’re experienced. There are some good reminders and ideas which might not yet have come to mind. And all of it is presented with a sense of joy, and personal touch, shown in the poems and anecdotes included to illustrate various points. Michael Mathews is a person of caring and integrity, with a desire to help others improve their lives.

Your tools and tips really add to the process of the overall self-improvement journey.<br><br>Your poems are really awesome! Definitely something you should consider in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My biggest personal takeaway is to not be anxious to get the new car and purchase a condo, townhouse, etc., again until my finances say yes, without question.

Speaking from his heart and personal experience, Michael speaks about how to get your finances in order. Since financial issues frequently are at the bottom of interpersonal issues in a marriage, and stress related health issues in a body, control over finances can be at the heart of improving these aspects of life as well</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e1\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]The book is beautifully organized to cover the many aspects of financial life, starting from the negative side of the balance sheet by discussing steps to take to get out of debt, moving through managing money on a daily basis, and continuing on to preparing for the future by investing, insuring to cover unforeseen events, and teaching your children. Michael offers specifics, and references places to get help or more information. He gives clear descriptions of the reasons behind different considerations, and even includes a “dictionary” of terms.<br><br>Financially Speaking is a good read whether you’re a novice at tackling managing your money or you’re experienced. There are some good reminders and ideas which might not yet have come to mind. And all of it is presented with a sense of joy, and personal touch, shown in the poems and anecdotes included to illustrate various points. Michael Mathews is a person of caring and integrity, with a desire to help others improve their lives. I highly recommend “Financially Speaking.[/expander_maker]</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e3\"><br></p></div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320a\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\"><strong><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8202fa\" style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\">Cathy Flowers</span></strong><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Oak Park, Illinois</span></p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8030c4\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e4\">Congratulations on another good one! Although it’s been over 8 years (if not more), since I edited your first book, it was like a refresher in some ways; but also good and fresh information, for the most part. The chapters 5 thru 10 certainly increased my knowledge and were also “food for thought”. I particularly gained lots of insight from the content in chapters:</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e6\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]? 7 – Estate Planning<br><br>? 8 – The Deadly Killers – very educational and so real to our culture<br><br>? 9 – The Children really resonated with me because this is something we did not get as children, but it’s such a blessing to pass it on to the youth in our families.<br><br>? 10 – Self Improvement – this resonates with me because self-improvement is continuous. Your tools and tips really add to the process of the overall self-improvement journey.<br><br>Your poems are really awesome! Definitely something you should consider in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My biggest personal takeaway is to not be anxious to get the new car and purchase a condo, townhouse, etc., again until my finances say yes, without question. In summary this is really good information and I’m sure the Lord will bless you exceedingly and abundantly because of your works – this book, which will help so many others!”[/expander_maker]</p></div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320a\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d830dde\"><strong>Bianca Spratt</strong></p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d82e9fa\"><strong></strong>Chicago, Illinois<br>Masters of Art in Applied Professional Studies</p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone on_hover\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d3211\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d3212\">The book is a good resource for 18 and up to understand the value of money and how to make money work for you.

Speaking from his heart and personal experience, Michael speaks about how to get your finances in order. Since financial issues frequently are at the bottom of interpersonal issues in a marriage, and stress related health issues in a body, control over finances can be at the heart of improving these aspects of life as well</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e1\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]The book is beautifully organized to cover the many aspects of financial life, starting from the negative side of the balance sheet by discussing steps to take to get out of debt, moving through managing money on a daily basis, and continuing on to preparing for the future by investing, insuring to cover unforeseen events, and teaching your children. Michael offers specifics, and references places to get help or more information. He gives clear descriptions of the reasons behind different considerations, and even includes a “dictionary” of terms.<br><br>Financially Speaking is a good read whether you’re a novice at tackling managing your money or you’re experienced. There are some good reminders and ideas which might not yet have come to mind. And all of it is presented with a sense of joy, and personal touch, shown in the poems and anecdotes included to illustrate various points. Michael Mathews is a person of caring and integrity, with a desire to help others improve their lives. I highly recommend “Financially Speaking.[/expander_maker]</p></div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box\" data-css=\"tve-u-16417558aa3\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\"><strong><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8202fa\" style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\">Cathy Flowers</span></strong><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Oak Park, Illinois</span></p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8030c4\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e4\">Congratulations on another good one! Although it’s been over 8 years (if not more), since I edited your first book, it was like a refresher in some ways; but also good and fresh information, for the most part. The chapters 5 thru 10 certainly increased my knowledge and were also “food for thought”. I particularly gained lots of insight from the content in chapters:</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e6\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]? 7 – Estate Planning<br><br>? 8 – The Deadly Killers – very educational and so real to our culture<br><br>? 9 – The Children really resonated with me because this is something we did not get as children, but it’s such a blessing to pass it on to the youth in our families.<br><br>? 10 – Self Improvement – this resonates with me because self-improvement is continuous. Your tools and tips really add to the process of the overall self-improvement journey.<br><br>Your poems are really awesome! Definitely something you should consider in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My biggest personal takeaway is to not be anxious to get the new car and purchase a condo, townhouse, etc., again until my finances say yes, without question.

Speaking from his heart and personal experience, Michael speaks about how to get your finances in order. Since financial issues frequently are at the bottom of interpersonal issues in a marriage, and stress related health issues in a body, control over finances can be at the heart of improving these aspects of life as well</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e1\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]The book is beautifully organized to cover the many aspects of financial life, starting from the negative side of the balance sheet by discussing steps to take to get out of debt, moving through managing money on a daily basis, and continuing on to preparing for the future by investing, insuring to cover unforeseen events, and teaching your children. Michael offers specifics, and references places to get help or more information. He gives clear descriptions of the reasons behind different considerations, and even includes a “dictionary” of terms.<br><br>Financially Speaking is a good read whether you’re a novice at tackling managing your money or you’re experienced. There are some good reminders and ideas which might not yet have come to mind. And all of it is presented with a sense of joy, and personal touch, shown in the poems and anecdotes included to illustrate various points. Michael Mathews is a person of caring and integrity, with a desire to help others improve their lives. I highly recommend “Financially Speaking.[/expander_maker]</p></div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box\" data-css=\"tve-u-16417558aa3\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\"><strong><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8202fa\" style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\">Cathy Flowers</span></strong><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Oak Park, Illinois</span></p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8030c4\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e4\">Congratulations on another good one! Although it’s been over 8 years (if not more), since I edited your first book, it was like a refresher in some ways; but also good and fresh information, for the most part. The chapters 5 thru 10 certainly increased my knowledge and were also “food for thought”. I particularly gained lots of insight from the content in chapters:</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e6\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]? 7 – Estate Planning<br><br>? 8 – The Deadly Killers – very educational and so real to our culture<br><br>? 9 – The Children really resonated with me because this is something we did not get as children, but it’s such a blessing to pass it on to the youth in our families.<br><br>? 10 – Self Improvement – this resonates with me because self-improvement is continuous. Your tools and tips really add to the process of the overall self-improvement journey.<br><br>Your poems are really awesome! Definitely something you should consider in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My biggest personal takeaway is to not be anxious to get the new car and purchase a condo, townhouse, etc., again until my finances say yes, without question.

Michael offers specifics, and references places to get help or more information. He gives clear descriptions of the reasons behind different considerations, and even includes a “dictionary” of terms.<br><br>Financially Speaking is a good read whether you’re a novice at tackling managing your money or you’re experienced. There are some good reminders and ideas which might not yet have come to mind. And all of it is presented with a sense of joy, and personal touch, shown in the poems and anecdotes included to illustrate various points. Michael Mathews is a person of caring and integrity, with a desire to help others improve their lives.

Although it’s been over 8 years (if not more), since I edited your first book, it was like a refresher in some ways; but also good and fresh information, for the most part. The chapters 5 thru 10 certainly increased my knowledge and were also “food for thought”. I particularly gained lots of insight from the content in chapters:</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e6\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]? 7 – Estate Planning<br><br>? 8 – The Deadly Killers – very educational and so real to our culture<br><br>? 9 – The Children really resonated with me because this is something we did not get as children, but it’s such a blessing to pass it on to the youth in our families.<br><br>? 10 – Self Improvement – this resonates with me because self-improvement is continuous. Your tools and tips really add to the process of the overall self-improvement journey.<br><br>Your poems are really awesome! Definitely something you should consider in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My biggest personal takeaway is to not be anxious to get the new car and purchase a condo, townhouse, etc., again until my finances say yes, without question. In summary this is really good information and I’m sure the Lord will bless you exceedingly and abundantly because of your works – this book, which will help so many others!”[/expander_maker]</p></div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box on_hover\" data-css=\"tve-u-1641755bbdb\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d830dde\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Bianca Spratt</strong></p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d82e9fa\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong></strong>Chicago, Illinois<br>Masters of Art in <br>Applied Professional Studies</p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d3211\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d3212\">The book is a good resource for 18 and up to understand the value of money and how to make money work for you.

Speaking from his heart and personal experience, Michael speaks about how to get your finances in order. Since financial issues frequently are at the bottom of interpersonal issues in a marriage, and stress related health issues in a body, control over finances can be at the heart of improving these aspects of life as well</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e1\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]The book is beautifully organized to cover the many aspects of financial life, starting from the negative side of the balance sheet by discussing steps to take to get out of debt, moving through managing money on a daily basis, and continuing on to preparing for the future by investing, insuring to cover unforeseen events, and teaching your children. Michael offers specifics, and references places to get help or more information. He gives clear descriptions of the reasons behind different considerations, and even includes a “dictionary” of terms.<br><br>Financially Speaking is a good read whether you’re a novice at tackling managing your money or you’re experienced. There are some good reminders and ideas which might not yet have come to mind. And all of it is presented with a sense of joy, and personal touch, shown in the poems and anecdotes included to illustrate various points. Michael Mathews is a person of caring and integrity, with a desire to help others improve their lives.

Although it’s been over 8 years (if not more), since I edited your first book, it was like a refresher in some ways; but also good and fresh information, for the most part. The chapters 5 thru 10 certainly increased my knowledge and were also “food for thought”. I particularly gained lots of insight from the content in chapters:</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e6\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]? 7 – Estate Planning<br><br>? 8 – The Deadly Killers – very educational and so real to our culture<br><br>? 9 – The Children really resonated with me because this is something we did not get as children, but it’s such a blessing to pass it on to the youth in our families.<br><br>? 10 – Self Improvement – this resonates with me because self-improvement is continuous. Your tools and tips really add to the process of the overall self-improvement journey.<br><br>Your poems are really awesome! Definitely something you should consider in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My biggest personal takeaway is to not be anxious to get the new car and purchase a condo, townhouse, etc., again until my finances say yes, without question. In summary this is really good information and I’m sure the Lord will bless you exceedingly and abundantly because of your works – this book, which will help so many others!”[/expander_maker]</p></div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box on_hover\" data-css=\"tve-u-1641755bbdb\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d830dde\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Bianca Spratt</strong></p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d82e9fa\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong></strong>Chicago, Illinois<br>Masters of Art in <br>Applied Professional Studies</p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d3211\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d3212\">The book is a good resource for 18 and up to understand the value of money and how to make money work for you.

Speaking from his heart and personal experience, Michael speaks about how to get your finances in order. Since financial issues frequently are at the bottom of interpersonal issues in a marriage, and stress related health issues in a body, control over finances can be at the heart of improving these aspects of life as well</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e1\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]The book is beautifully organized to cover the many aspects of financial life, starting from the negative side of the balance sheet by discussing steps to take to get out of debt, moving through managing money on a daily basis, and continuing on to preparing for the future by investing, insuring to cover unforeseen events, and teaching your children. Michael offers specifics, and references places to get help or more information. He gives clear descriptions of the reasons behind different considerations, and even includes a “dictionary” of terms.<br><br>Financially Speaking is a good read whether you’re a novice at tackling managing your money or you’re experienced. There are some good reminders and ideas which might not yet have come to mind. And all of it is presented with a sense of joy, and personal touch, shown in the poems and anecdotes included to illustrate various points. Michael Mathews is a person of caring and integrity, with a desire to help others improve their lives. I highly recommend “Financially Speaking.[/expander_maker]</p></div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box\" data-css=\"tve-u-16417558aa3\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8202fa\" style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\">Cathy Flowers</span></strong><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\"></span></p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Oak Park, </span><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\"></span><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Illinois</span></p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8030c4\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e4\">Congratulations on another good one! Although it’s been over 8 years (if not more), since I edited your first book, it was like a refresher in some ways; but also good and fresh information, for the most part. The chapters 5 thru 10 certainly increased my knowledge and were also “food for thought”. I particularly gained lots of insight from the content in chapters:</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e6\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]? 7 – Estate Planning<br><br>? 8 – The Deadly Killers – very educational and so real to our culture<br><br>? 9 – The Children really resonated with me because this is something we did not get as children, but it’s such a blessing to pass it on to the youth in our families.<br><br>? 10 – Self Improvement – this resonates with me because self-improvement is continuous. Your tools and tips really add to the process of the overall self-improvement journey.<br><br>Your poems are really awesome! Definitely something you should consider in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My biggest personal takeaway is to not be anxious to get the new car and purchase a condo, townhouse, etc., again until my finances say yes, without question.

Speaking from his heart and personal experience, Michael speaks about how to get your finances in order. Since financial issues frequently are at the bottom of interpersonal issues in a marriage, and stress related health issues in a body, control over finances can be at the heart of improving these aspects of life as well</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e1\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]The book is beautifully organized to cover the many aspects of financial life, starting from the negative side of the balance sheet by discussing steps to take to get out of debt, moving through managing money on a daily basis, and continuing on to preparing for the future by investing, insuring to cover unforeseen events, and teaching your children. Michael offers specifics, and references places to get help or more information. He gives clear descriptions of the reasons behind different considerations, and even includes a “dictionary” of terms.<br><br>Financially Speaking is a good read whether you’re a novice at tackling managing your money or you’re experienced. There are some good reminders and ideas which might not yet have come to mind. And all of it is presented with a sense of joy, and personal touch, shown in the poems and anecdotes included to illustrate various points. Michael Mathews is a person of caring and integrity, with a desire to help others improve their lives. I highly recommend “Financially Speaking.[/expander_maker]</p></div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box\" data-css=\"tve-u-16417558aa3\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8202fa\" style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\">Cathy Flowers</span></strong><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\"></span></p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Oak Park, </span><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\"></span><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Illinois</span></p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8030c4\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e4\">Congratulations on another good one! Although it’s been over 8 years (if not more), since I edited your first book, it was like a refresher in some ways; but also good and fresh information, for the most part. The chapters 5 thru 10 certainly increased my knowledge and were also “food for thought”. I particularly gained lots of insight from the content in chapters:</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e6\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]? 7 – Estate Planning<br><br>? 8 – The Deadly Killers – very educational and so real to our culture<br><br>? 9 – The Children really resonated with me because this is something we did not get as children, but it’s such a blessing to pass it on to the youth in our families.<br><br>? 10 – Self Improvement – this resonates with me because self-improvement is continuous. Your tools and tips really add to the process of the overall self-improvement journey.<br><br>Your poems are really awesome! Definitely something you should consider in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My biggest personal takeaway is to not be anxious to get the new car and purchase a condo, townhouse, etc., again until my finances say yes, without question. In summary this is really good information and I’m sure the Lord will bless you exceedingly and abundantly because of your works – this book, which will help so many others!”[/expander_maker]</p></div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box\" data-css=\"tve-u-1641755bbdb\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d830dde\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Bianca Spratt</strong></p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d82e9fa\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong></strong>Chicago, Illinois<br>Masters of Art in <br>Applied Professional Studies</p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d3211\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d3212\">The book is a good resource for 18 and up to understand the value of money and how to make money work for you.

Speaking from his heart and personal experience, Michael speaks about how to get your finances in order. Since financial issues frequently are at the bottom of interpersonal issues in a marriage, and stress related health issues in a body, control over finances can be at the heart of improving these aspects of life as well</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e1\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]The book is beautifully organized to cover the many aspects of financial life, starting from the negative side of the balance sheet by discussing steps to take to get out of debt, moving through managing money on a daily basis, and continuing on to preparing for the future by investing, insuring to cover unforeseen events, and teaching your children. Michael offers specifics, and references places to get help or more information. He gives clear descriptions of the reasons behind different considerations, and even includes a “dictionary” of terms.<br><br>Financially Speaking is a good read whether you’re a novice at tackling managing your money or you’re experienced. There are some good reminders and ideas which might not yet have come to mind. And all of it is presented with a sense of joy, and personal touch, shown in the poems and anecdotes included to illustrate various points. Michael Mathews is a person of caring and integrity, with a desire to help others improve their lives. I highly recommend “Financially Speaking.[/expander_maker]</p></div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone on_hover\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box\" data-css=\"tve-u-16417558aa3\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8202fa\" style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\">Cathy Flowers</span></strong><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\"></span></p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Oak Park, </span><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\"></span><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Illinois</span></p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8030c4\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e4\">Congratulations on another good one! Although it’s been over 8 years (if not more), since I edited your first book, it was like a refresher in some ways; but also good and fresh information, for the most part.

I particularly gained lots of insight from the content in chapters:</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e6\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]? 7 – Estate Planning<br><br>? 8 – The Deadly Killers – very educational and so real to our culture<br><br>? 9 – The Children really resonated with me because this is something we did not get as children, but it’s such a blessing to pass it on to the youth in our families.<br><br>? 10 – Self Improvement – this resonates with me because self-improvement is continuous. Your tools and tips really add to the process of the overall self-improvement journey.<br><br>Your poems are really awesome! Definitely something you should consider in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My biggest personal takeaway is to not be anxious to get the new car and purchase a condo, townhouse, etc., again until my finances say yes, without question.

Speaking from his heart and personal experience, Michael speaks about how to get your finances in order. Since financial issues frequently are at the bottom of interpersonal issues in a marriage, and stress related health issues in a body, control over finances can be at the heart of improving these aspects of life as well</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e1\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]The book is beautifully organized to cover the many aspects of financial life, starting from the negative side of the balance sheet by discussing steps to take to get out of debt, moving through managing money on a daily basis, and continuing on to preparing for the future by investing, insuring to cover unforeseen events, and teaching your children. Michael offers specifics, and references places to get help or more information. He gives clear descriptions of the reasons behind different considerations, and even includes a “dictionary” of terms.<br><br>Financially Speaking is a good read whether you’re a novice at tackling managing your money or you’re experienced. There are some good reminders and ideas which might not yet have come to mind. And all of it is presented with a sense of joy, and personal touch, shown in the poems and anecdotes included to illustrate various points. Michael Mathews is a person of caring and integrity, with a desire to help others improve their lives. I highly recommend “Financially Speaking.[/expander_maker]</p></div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone on_hover\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box\" data-css=\"tve-u-16417558aa3\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8202fa\" style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\">Cathy Flowers</span></strong><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\"></span></p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Oak Park, </span><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\"></span><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Illinois</span></p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8030c4\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e4\">Congratulations on another good one! Although it’s been over 8 years (if not more), since I edited your first book, it was like a refresher in some ways; but also good and fresh information, for the most part.

I particularly gained lots of insight from the content in chapters:</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e6\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]? 7 – Estate Planning<br><br>? 8 – The Deadly Killers – very educational and so real to our culture<br><br>? 9 – The Children really resonated with me because this is something we did not get as children, but it’s such a blessing to pass it on to the youth in our families.<br><br>? 10 – Self Improvement – this resonates with me because self-improvement is continuous. Your tools and tips really add to the process of the overall self-improvement journey.<br><br>Your poems are really awesome! Definitely something you should consider in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My biggest personal takeaway is to not be anxious to get the new car and purchase a condo, townhouse, etc., again until my finances say yes, without question.

Speaking from his heart and personal experience, Michael speaks about how to get your finances in order. Since financial issues frequently are at the bottom of interpersonal issues in a marriage, and stress related health issues in a body, control over finances can be at the heart of improving these aspects of life as well</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e1\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]The book is beautifully organized to cover the many aspects of financial life, starting from the negative side of the balance sheet by discussing steps to take to get out of debt, moving through managing money on a daily basis, and continuing on to preparing for the future by investing, insuring to cover unforeseen events, and teaching your children. Michael offers specifics, and references places to get help or more information. He gives clear descriptions of the reasons behind different considerations, and even includes a “dictionary” of terms.<br><br>Financially Speaking is a good read whether you’re a novice at tackling managing your money or you’re experienced. There are some good reminders and ideas which might not yet have come to mind. And all of it is presented with a sense of joy, and personal touch, shown in the poems and anecdotes included to illustrate various points. Michael Mathews is a person of caring and integrity, with a desire to help others improve their lives. I highly recommend “Financially Speaking.[/expander_maker]</p></div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box\" data-css=\"tve-u-16417558aa3\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8202fa\" style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\">Cathy Flowers</span></strong><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\"></span></p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Oak Park, </span><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\"></span><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Illinois</span></p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8030c4\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e4\">Congratulations on another good one! Although it’s been over 8 years (if not more), since I edited your first book, it was like a refresher in some ways; but also good and fresh information, for the most part.

I particularly gained lots of insight from the content in chapters:</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e6\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]? 7 – Estate Planning<br><br>? 8 – The Deadly Killers – very educational and so real to our culture<br><br>? 9 – The Children really resonated with me because this is something we did not get as children, but it’s such a blessing to pass it on to the youth in our families.<br><br>? 10 – Self Improvement – this resonates with me because self-improvement is continuous. Your tools and tips really add to the process of the overall self-improvement journey.<br><br>Your poems are really awesome! Definitely something you should consider in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My biggest personal takeaway is to not be anxious to get the new car and purchase a condo, townhouse, etc., again until my finances say yes, without question.

Speaking from his heart and personal experience, Michael speaks about how to get your finances in order. Since financial issues frequently are at the bottom of interpersonal issues in a marriage, and stress related health issues in a body, control over finances can be at the heart of improving these aspects of life as well</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e1\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]The book is beautifully organized to cover the many aspects of financial life, starting from the negative side of the balance sheet by discussing steps to take to get out of debt, moving through managing money on a daily basis, and continuing on to preparing for the future by investing, insuring to cover unforeseen events, and teaching your children. Michael offers specifics, and references places to get help or more information. He gives clear descriptions of the reasons behind different considerations, and even includes a “dictionary” of terms.<br><br>Financially Speaking is a good read whether you’re a novice at tackling managing your money or you’re experienced. There are some good reminders and ideas which might not yet have come to mind. And all of it is presented with a sense of joy, and personal touch, shown in the poems and anecdotes included to illustrate various points.

Although it’s been over 8 years (if not more), since I edited your first book, it was like a refresher in some ways; but also good and fresh information, for the most part. The chapters 5 thru 10 certainly increased my knowledge and were also “food for thought”. I particularly gained lots of insight from the content in chapters:</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e6\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]? 7 – Estate Planning<br><br>? 8 – The Deadly Killers – very educational and so real to our culture<br><br>? 9 – The Children really resonated with me because this is something we did not get as children, but it’s such a blessing to pass it on to the youth in our families.<br><br>? 10 – Self Improvement – this resonates with me because self-improvement is continuous. Your tools and tips really add to the process of the overall self-improvement journey.<br><br>Your poems are really awesome! Definitely something you should consider in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My biggest personal takeaway is to not be anxious to get the new car and purchase a condo, townhouse, etc., again until my finances say yes, without question. In summary this is really good information and I’m sure the Lord will bless you exceedingly and abundantly because of your works – this book, which will help so many others!”[/expander_maker]</p></div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box\" data-css=\"tve-u-1641755bbdb\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d830dde\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Bianca Spratt</strong></p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d82e9fa\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong></strong>Chicago, Illinois<br>Masters of Art in <br>Applied Professional Studies</p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d3211\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d3212\">The book is a good resource for 18 and up to understand the value of money and how to make money work for you.

Speaking from his heart and personal experience, Michael speaks about how to get your finances in order. Since financial issues frequently are at the bottom of interpersonal issues in a marriage, and stress related health issues in a body, control over finances can be at the heart of improving these aspects of life as well</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752d5e1\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]The book is beautifully organized to cover the many aspects of financial life, starting from the negative side of the balance sheet by discussing steps to take to get out of debt, moving through managing money on a daily basis, and continuing on to preparing for the future by investing, insuring to cover unforeseen events, and teaching your children. Michael offers specifics, and references places to get help or more information. He gives clear descriptions of the reasons behind different considerations, and even includes a “dictionary” of terms.<br><br>Financially Speaking is a good read whether you’re a novice at tackling managing your money or you’re experienced. There are some good reminders and ideas which might not yet have come to mind. And all of it is presented with a sense of joy, and personal touch, shown in the poems and anecdotes included to illustrate various points. Michael Mathews is a person of caring and integrity, with a desire to help others improve their lives. I highly recommend “Financially Speaking.[/expander_maker]</p></div></div>\n</div></div></div><div class=\"tcb-flex-col\"><div class=\"tcb-col tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode thrv-content-box\" data-css=\"tve-u-16417558aa3\">\n<div class=\"tve-content-box-background\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320b\"></div>\n<div class=\"tve-cb tve_empty_dropzone\"><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320c\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8202fa\" style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\">Cathy Flowers</span></strong><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\"></span></p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1634d7d320d\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Oak Park, </span><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\"></span><br><span data-css=\"tve-u-1634d824124\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Illinois</span></p></div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve_empty_dropzone\" data-css=\"tve-u-1634d8030c4\"><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e4\">Congratulations on another good one! Although it’s been over 8 years (if not more), since I edited your first book, it was like a refresher in some ways; but also good and fresh information, for the most part.

I particularly gained lots of insight from the content in chapters:</p><p data-css=\"tve-u-1641752f0e6\">[expander_maker id=\"1\" more=\"Read more\" less=\"Read less\"]? 7 – Estate Planning<br><br>? 8 – The Deadly Killers – very educational and so real to our culture<br><br>? 9 – The Children really resonated with me because this is something we did not get as children, but it’s such a blessing to pass it on to the youth in our families.<br><br>? 10 – Self Improvement – this resonates with me because self-improvement is continuous. Your tools and tips really add to the process of the overall self-improvement journey.<br><br>Your poems are really awesome! Definitely something you should consider in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My biggest personal takeaway is to not be anxious to get the new car and purchase a condo, townhouse, etc., again until my finances say yes, without question.
