The way we currently save and invest is confusing, frustrating, and quite simply doesn't work. Get ready for a personal finance book that is actually unique. Get ready for financial strategies that you've never seen or heard before. Get ready to transform your financial life in less than a week!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert Pagliarini has taken budgeting, investing, insurance, and retirement planning-subjects that most of us find stressful and overwhelmingly complex-and made them approachable and even manageable through his unsinkable optimism and relentless simplification process. He says, \"We're going to take the pie-in-the-sky theories and turn them into bite-size pieces that you can and will be able to implement in your life immediately.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Six-Day Financial Makeover\u003c\/i\u003e does a lot of things really well, but I'll just tell you about three. First and foremost it actually provides advice-yes, real advice, not wishy-washy \"maybe you should do this\" or \"it all depends on your situation\" nonsense, what Robert calls \"financial fog.\" Second, it has an action bias, an action bias that is more like a mantra. There's even a patent-pending free website at \u003ca href=\"www.sixdayfinancialmakeover.com\"\u003ewww.sixdayfinancialmakeover.com\u003c\/a\u003e that readers can use to help them take the advice they read and incorporate it into their lives. Three, it is full of brand-new, never-seen-before financial shortcuts and strategies such as:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhy your seven year old is a better investor than you are.\u003c\/b\u003e Kids intuitively understand how to save and invest better than most adults. The trick is focusing and creating separate physical accounts for the myriad goals we have.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThere is no \"right\" way to invest.\u003c\/b\u003e What's crucial is that people determine their investment personality - particularly how involved they want to be with investing - and let that be their guide. Disregarding one's investment personality and pursuing an approach that's not compatible with it is a recipe for disaster.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhy you shouldn't work for a paycheck.\u003c\/b\u003e Most of us work to earn a paycheck, right? Well that's the wrong way to think about work. Once we can align our life's vision and deepest goals to our income, we start to see our purpose for waking up each morning entirely differently. Work is no longer work but becomes a catalyst that helps us achieve our goals.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe most important thing you should save for (and it's not retirement!).\u003c\/b\u003e What's more important and more satisfying than retirement? Financial independence. Discover how many days your passive income could support your lifestyle. If your score is less than 31, don't quit your day job.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe more information and choices you have, the worse your finances will be.\u003c\/b\u003e There are more financial books, magazines, journals, newspapers, radio shows, TV shows, websites, Podcasts, and free information available today, yet most of us still feel more overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated than before. The solution is to cut through the fluff and focus on what really works.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBudgets don't work.\u003c\/b\u003e Instead, Robert offers a ten-step process for taking control of one's cash flow.
