If you have inherited a significant amount of money, won the lottery, received a lump-sum cash bonus at work, been the beneficiary of a sizable insurance policy... or made substantial financial gains from any other source, you are facing a unique set of problems.
Because wealth presents a great range of choices about your career, spending, saving, giving, education, recreation, and every other facet of life... having a lot of money can make you feel different from other people. And like most people, you probably don't enjoy that feeling.
'The Challenges of Wealth' shows you how to put your actions and reactions in perspective. By examining your identity and self-esteem...the feelings wealth brings... and your unique background, you can discover how money and self interact.
Domini, Pearne and Rich give detailed information on managing your money by determining: * How money changes your relationships with others * How money affects your personal self * Your net worth * What you have to spend * A plan for the future * Protection of your fortune.
They offer you the straight facts about investment counselors...financial planners, stockbrokers, portfolio managers, banks and trust companies, attorneys and accountants. You'll learn who they are, what services they offer, appropriate fees and/or commissions and how to choose the right one for your particular situation.
Excellent advice! The information is general and can be found in other places, but here it is put in a single volume. The sudden wealth syndrome is real and this book should put us all in the right direction to heal our money wounds.
