Sharing the truth about basic economic principles and how they affect our future is my passion.  Teaching our children to manage their earnings well is a touchstone in promoting better living standards and healthier lives.  While this finance camp occurred in my imagination, the principles described throughout
Finance Matters! Exploring Your Assets and Securing Your Future are lasting financial truths. 

Leann Voss, author, Finance Matters! Exploring Your Assets and Securing Your Future

"This book is meant not only to help you make your children smart about money but also wise."

“Finance Matters! Exploring Your Assets and Securing Your Futureis a fascinating and delightful introduction to information every child and adult should know.  Leann’s effort to explain and simplify the basics about our financial system and how it works is long overdue. ..."

Quotes from Finance Matters! Exploring Your Assets and Securing Your Future

    “…There are lots of good reasons to take time to think spending decisions over. Today I’ve shown you one good reason. There are many others.”

…Dad thought a minute and then answered, “Jared, managing financial matters is never a simple yes or no process. Opportunities come up… at the same time a problem comes up… One key factor in growing net worth is to find out what the cost of ownership is before you make a purchase…”

Picture
Financial literacy for every person is the goal set for IYR, LLC.  Each wage earner has potential to manage life long earnings to build net worth, no matter what the earning bracket. The old saying, 'Give a man a fish...' applies to financial literacy as well.  By teaching the principles associated with net worth building, wage earners are offered the knowledge, understanding and wisdom to assess the opportunity cost each spending decision involves.  I believe this decision making wisdom will allow for more responsible spending, more responsible business contracts and better future outcomes for wage earners.
Finance Matters!  Exploring Your Assets and Securing Your Future is written to educate consumers and is formatted as a guide for children and adults.  It is a format, a set of precepts that must be taught, believed and followed; net worth will grow as a result.  Through storytelling, these principles are embraced throughout the book as core attitudes pertaining to a value system, and financial principles are introduced a chapter at a time.  

A brief outline follows, giving the overview of each concept in the order of introduction:
    Chapter One:     net worth, financial statements, assets, liabilities, ethics

   
Chapter Two:     demand accounts
    Chapter Three:   contracts
    Chapter Four:    marketing
    Chapter Five:     auto purchase, insurance, taxes
    Chapter Six:      depreciation
    Chapter Seven:  sales tax, consumer loans, credit cards
    Chapter Eight:   mortgages, decision making skills
    Chapter Nine:    bonds, stocks, mutual funds
    Chapter Ten:     retirement accounts, compounding interest, living expenses
    Chapter Eleven: philosophy of net worth building as a lifestyle overview


This format allows readers the ability to understand the whys of financial education without the mathematics involved.  It establishes reasons for building net worth, rather than formulas.
 

It is the author’s hope that readers will come away with an understanding of basic economics and the mind set of building net worth as a consequence of reading this book.
