Jon has written a book that is engaging, informative and thought-provoking. This story powerfully illustrates the value of seeking good professional advice and the importance of financial planning to reach life goals. The book's story - through its characters - also underscored how important it is to continually clarify your life goals; to reflect and communicate (especially with life partners!) as one navigates the myriad of changes and choices over one's lifetime. As a professional work-life coach (and disclosure: a communicator involved in the financial planning industry) I felt those two points wrap up beautifully in a story that engages, provokes and motivates one to ask all kinds of important questions. It's an easy read - with great lessons. I'd say go for it!!
