    It's here! Your guide to a financially independent life - no more money stress! This book is a comprehensive guide to your financial life. It's the key to never having to go to a job you detest, to living every day on your own terms. 
Why this book? Right now, you may be browsing a few personal finance books in a library, bookstore, or online. Why this one? Is it worth a couple of dollars and hours of your time? 
Here's why. I've read the others. Almost every book was someone telling their own personal rags to riches tale. That's admirable, but the likelihood that it's even close to you and your personal situation is quite remote. What worked for them will probably not work for you. Some assume their readers all want to be mega-rich. In my experience, most people just want to be happy, without money stress, and have a good, fun, comfortable life. That said, if you want to be rich, I'll show you how to do that too. 
This book is based on my experience as a financial counselor, investment advisor, and financial planner. No matter who you are, there is plenty for you. We cover FIRE (Financial Independence/Retire Early). 
This book is the way to financial peace, to relieving the number one stressor in our lives and relationships. It's the guide to living every day on your own terms, and never having to go to a job you no longer love, of never having to miss those important life events because, work. The first word of the title is no coincidence. KISS also means Keep It Simple Silly! Maybe I'll even make you laugh once or twice. Your household is a mini-business, only you measure success in 'happy', not some corporate financial metric. 
Come on inside, let's get this party started!
