Adults in Canada and the US are failing, often miserably, to prepare for retirement financially. Too often, school boards are omitting financial education almost entirely from school curriculum. This has been going on for generations, leading to parents being equally as unequipped to inform their kids on finance. This is a major problem for young adults and setting them up to fail financially. Learning finance can be intimidating, complex and plain boring, so a lot of people fall to the "Ostrich Effect" of burying their heads in the sand and hoping everything turns out in the long run, a recipe for disaster. A Fighting Chance is a book written by a young Canadian award winning Chartered Professional Accountant to give young adults the tools they need to succeed financially at a stage of their life where they have the most valuable asset of all - time. It is written in a conversational, non-intimidating tone that draws in the attention of readers. Each chapter contains approachable examples and illustrations of how applying certain strategies and knowledge can benefit young people over their financial lives. By the end of the book, readers will feel empowered and equipped with knowledge that they can apply to retire wealthy by taking immediate action.
