The Cash Flow Clock
Introduction
Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and
the simple thing is the right thing.
-Oscar Wilde
The most important things in life are often the simplest. Finances are not the
most important thing in life. But not feeling in control of our finances can
prevent us from being able to focus on and enjoy the things that actually are
most important – family, friends, community, even our own well-being.
This book is all about simplicity. It does not contain a history of everything
that has ever been said or written about finances. It is not full of numbers or
analysis. It does not tell entertaining stories.
This book presents a simple and unique method of financial planning that
can be easily used by anyone, no matter their age or net worth. It explains a
straightforward concept that can be expressed in a few short sentences yet
has enough complexity and applicability to account for any financial
scenario.
This concept can be a powerful tool for experts that are well versed in the
financial industry. But it is especially useful for those that struggle to
understand their own financial situation. This book is for those that are not
familiar with financial terminology and are intimidated (or bored) by
numbers, charts, graphs, and citations. It is for those that need and want
help but are not sure where to begin.
The financial industry may seem complex and confusing. But it doesn’t
have to be. The Cash Flow Clock simplifies and makes sense of financial
planning in a practical and useful way. We hope it makes a difference for
you.
