The reason I write Personal Finance books is to prevent people from making the same simple mistakes that so many of us—–yours truly included—-have made over the  years. These are mistakes, that if repeated long enough, can ruin a person’s life or, at least, reduce the quality of a life.

My Personal Finance articles have appeared in publications such as The New York Post & Financial Planner Magazine. My work is important to me because it’s personal, I have gone through many of these money issues myself and have had personal experience seeing them affect others, including friends and relatives. It pains me to see so many people going down the wrong track. Around that curve is potential bankruptcy or other money miseries. I want to see everyone—-from my friends and relatives to my readers—avoid financial crashes. I love this writing genre as it is a direct, simple way to state a clear message of financial independence. That is if I my editor and I are up to writing simple, clear books that will invite non-financial experts to gain enough money literacy to make the right decisions.

My purpose as an author is to help my readers and to help myself, my editorial partners and my family. The more I learn about money, the more I help them as well as myself. The abiding theme of my work is, in a word, self-help. Don’t depend on the government to provide for you. Try, as much as you can, to help yourself and/or depend on your family, community or friends to help you. Governments, both left or right, tend to be run by career pols who are in it for the office. They are not overly concerned with the average Joe or Jane who has to pay sky-rocketing property or sales taxes or god knows what else. The MoneySense person understands that his or her wealth, or would be wealth, is frequently the target of so many factors that keep people from achieving any of their dreams.
