When we decided to write this book, one of the first questions we asked ourselves was, Does the world need another book about money? There are tons of them out there: books about how money works, the mistakes people make with their money, trying to understand the stock market, and on and on --a virtual deluge of facts, opinions and approaches. So, let us ask you a question. How is it going with all that information? Have you put any of it to use yet? Did you finish the book? Did you feel so depressed about checking yes to just about every mistake listed in some of the books that you said to yourself, It's hopeless. Do you now find yourself in more or less the same place you started, just somewhat more confused? Put that all away now. The guilt stops here. This is a no-recrimination zone. This book is not really about money; it is about you and your untapped ability to create a space for financial success in your life. No matter where you are, no matter what side of the street you live on, no matter how much or how little you have, how young or old you are, you can do something for yourself starting today using the incredible resource you already possess: your own character. Don't get us wrong. It is great to gather information about money and become more informed. However, we are all unique individuals. This book is about recognizing what works for you in this vast sea of financial data. It is the sweet truth about you and your money.
