Barnes & Noble is offering a free class called "Get Your Finances in Shape" through their newly-renovated online book clubs. The class is based on the new book, "The Net Worth Workout," and is taught by author, financial advisor and nationally-ranked triathlete Susan Feitelberg.
Feitelberg is a vice president at JPMorgan Chase where she teaches this seminar to investment advisors and their clients. A marathoner, Feitelberg is all about the long game; she'll quickly convince you of the benefits of trimming your expenses, maximizing your benefits, and using an automatic savings plan. The results of "The Net Worth Workout" cumulate over time into the kind of fortune that makes dreams come true: home ownership, college for the kids, a secure retirement.
I have permission to distribute an excerpt from the book that provides a good example of Feitelberg's approach. It shows how one middle-aged couple painlessly liberated about $200 from their monthly expenses. When they reach retirement, that savings will likely have grown to almost a million dollars! It's not windfalls that make most people rich
-- it's the routine: putting away a small amount every month into a tax-advantaged, diversified portfolio.
To get the excerpt, send mailto: snipped-for-privacy@bellsouth.net with the subject line, Send Net Worth Workout, and I'll reply with the text -- and *only* the text -- NO file attachments or opt-in mailing list jive. Thank you.
