      Financial Self – Defense

      Book Abstract

      Important Note About This Ebook

      Summary of Financial Self – Defense (Charles J. Givens)

      1. Taking Charge of Your Financial Future

      Strategy #1 – Records Management System

      Strategy #2 – Automobiles

      Strategy #3 – Insurance

      Strategy #4 – Banks

      Strategy #5 – Mortgages

      Strategy #6 – Tax Tactics

      Book Abstract

      Main Idea

      The biggest problem with earning money is that it doesn’t come with an instruction book. Even the person who has been very successful in accumulating wealth doesn’t automatically understand the principles of effective personal financial management.

      Financial self-defense means to take charge of your financial future. Most people have an opportunity to create more wealth and subsequent financial security for themselves by using the money they earn more effectively rather than trying to make more money. It simply requires the identification and adoption of wealth building and expenditure allocation strategies that are effective and viable. Financial self-defense also requires the development of a dynamic plan to take a person wherever they want to go financially in the shortest possible time and with the minimum amount of sacrifice along the way.

      The strategies of financial self-defense present a plan of action for an integrated approach to creating the lifestyle the person wants in the present combined with having sufficient funds available at retirement. True financial freedom does not require the accumulation of any pre-set amount of capital - instead, financial freedom comes with having sufficient money to do whatever is desired with enjoyment.
