Make yourself a millionaire : how to sleep well and stay sane on the road to wealth

Charles Zhang became one of today's most nationally known and trusted financial advisers by stressing sanity and sensible investing over dubious, get-rich-quick tricks and schemes. In Make Yourself a Millionaire, Zhang transfers his program to the printed page. Far from a confusing, all-or-nothing approach, this book outlines a clear and rational approach to organizing and planning all aspects of a financial life. How do different investments work? How much insurance is too much? Zhang answers these questions and more as he discusses: - Recommended investments for virtually any portfolio - Asset allocation techniques that work - Actual examples of success and disaster - The role of insurance as a key element in a portfolio - All major financial instruments: stocks, bonds, funds, REITs, cash
