THE MONEY BOOK
--- A SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR CANADIANS UNDER 35

An irreverent and most informative money guide for the post-boom generation.

"If you're under 40, you should know that you are financially hooped. Lots of people over 40 are hooped financially too, but 20 and 30 year-olds are especially, specifically and systemically hooped." --- from the Introduction

Tired of reading finance books written for Baby Boomers with hordes of disposable income? Sick of hearing that your retirement plans should have started when you were six? Ready for something completely different?

In The Money Book, journalist and financial advisor Kevin Cork takes a no-holds-barred look at financial planning for the post-boom generation. Canadians between the ages of 25 and 35 are faced with unique financial concerns. On the one hand, they are acutely aware that the Canada Pension Plan is no longer a fool-proof safety net. On the other, retirement planning can be next to impossible when you've got $3 of disposable income at the end of the month. Even if you're lucky enough to be upwardly mobile, the baffling array of mutual funds, RRSP options and other planning strategies is enough to make your head spin.

Here at last is a money guide that addresses these concerns, and offers a wealth of advice on how to cope. In witty, conversational and often irreverent text, Kevin Cork covers the basics of financial planning, investing and saving.
