Product Description
There is a kind of financial failure that has nothing to do with intelligence, income, or effort, and it is the kind this book was written to fix.

None of those assumptions are safe for you. Your money problems are not a character problem, and they are not a knowledge problem, and they are an architecture problem, and architecture can be redesigned, starting with the very . Read more
