Wealthfulness: Simple Steps to Financial Health and Happiness

Experienced financial planner and consultant Lance Alston introduces his effective approach to discovering your combined emotional and financial needs.

These days we have the whole world at our fingertips, so shouldn't happiness be just as readily available? As more people continue to retire, they are finding themselves in this strange stage of life that has never been better, but it doesn't feel better. In spite of the fact that they may be doing well financially, in spite of modern technology, the internet, and greater total wealth than at any other time in history, happiness seems to be leveling off, if not declining.

Wealthfulness is the balance of wealth and happiness, the combination of monetary success and meaningfulness. What financial endeavors are the wisest choices for us? How much time should we be spending investing, saving, and planning? How much money do we need to be truly happy in life? The answers to these questions are highly personal, and Lance Alston helps us find each one, and plan accordingly by taking into account our individual personalities and circumstances.
