The best way to achieve financial goals is by sticking to a budget. While many books help readers establish a budget, too few help readers actually stick to a spending plan that ensures good financial habits.

Money for Life Success Planner provides readers with a hands-on workbook approach in an easy-to-use format. It picks up the story of Ryan and Christine Richardson, the couple whose financial journey was profiled in Money for Life.

Along with the stories of other couples, families, and individuals, Money for Life Success Planner uses a combination of worksheets, examples, and tips to map out an approach tailored for each reader.

Money for Life Success Planner starts out with a discussion on creating reasonable spending objectives and establishing appropriate financial goals. The next 12 sections outline a budgeting roadmap, organized from week 1 through week 12. After completing the 12-week financial fitness program, readers will be able to: * Develop a monthly cash flow plan * Live comfortably while spending less than their income * Understand the true impact of every spending decision * Implement a household budgeting system that makes communicating easy, even fun * Efficiently use online financial management tools * Stop accumulating debt, while successfully planning for debt elimination * Save for emergencies, future purchases, and long-term financial goals * Successfully manage their money in today's ""cashless"" electronic society

This book will appeal to a wide audience: both men and women from all walks of life, basically anyone who wants to establish a stable financial future for themselves and their family. While there is no easy path to financial security, Money for Life Success Planner can help make anyone's journey more manageable, predictable, and even enjoyable.
