Wilbert Guilford Jr.'s book, "Financial Planning for the 99%: Financial Planning for Those Who Need it Most," is a breath of fresh air in the sometimes stuffy and exclusive world of financial planning. Guilford, a seasoned Certified Public Accountant, Certified Financial Planner™, and licensed insurance agent, brings his rich experience of over forty years in the field to pen this comprehensive guide.
The book stands out in its approach to financial planning. Instead of catering to the wealthy, as most financial books do, Guilford addresses the needs of the average American. This focus makes the book a unique and much-needed resource in the market.
Guilford's writing style is clear, concise, and straightforward. He avoids jargon and explains complex financial concepts in a way that anyone can understand. This style makes the book accessible to a wide audience, from beginners to those with some knowledge of financial planning.
The book covers an impressive range of topics, from investing and income taxes to retirement planning and life insurance. It also touches on more specialized areas such as financing education, improving credit scores, reducing debt, home and car buying, student loan repayments, business development, and even digital (crypto) currency. This breadth of coverage ensures that readers will find information relevant to their specific financial situation.
One of the highlights of the book is Guilford's discussion on the practices of the financial services industry. He critiques the industry's focus on the wealthy and its expectation that average Americans put their money at risk to get financial advice. This critique is a bold move that sets the book apart from others in the genre.
The potential benefits of reading this book are significant. It provides readers with the knowledge and tools to take control of their financial future. It empowers them to make informed decisions about their money and to navigate the complex world of financial planning with confidence.
In conclusion, "Financial Planning for the 99%: Financial Planning for Those Who Need it Most" is a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their financial situation. Its unique focus on the needs of the average American, combined with Guilford's clear writing style and comprehensive coverage of financial topics, make it a standout in the field of financial books. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to take control of their financial future.
After reading this book, you will not only gain a wealth of knowledge but also the confidence to make sound financial decisions. The benefits of this book extend far beyond its pages, impacting the financial health and wellbeing of its readers for years to come.
