can money buy happiness?
do i have enough?
how can i get more?
these three questions begin a journey towards financial empowerment, the nine-page guide i wrote back in nineteen ninety-eight as a chanukah gift for some artistic twenty-something friends of mine. i believe in making educated decisions, and financial empowerment is one subject sadly absent from every school curriculum i've encountered. copies of the guide are free to friends (contact me) and available on a sliding scale through the Amazon Honor System to anyone else. buy it now for anywhere between $3 and $50 -- you decide how much you're willing and able to pay. however, all profits will be donated to financial literacy programs such as Operation Hope's Banking on Our Future or microlending organizations such as Accion and Kiva, so please be generous.
(note: the guide is in pdf format, so you may need to download the free adobe acrobat reader.)
you may also find my investment calculator useful. i'm psyched that i finally learned enough to code this thing.
