Book Teaches Personal Freedom Through Financial Independence

In “Personal Freedom and Finance: Short Foundational Discussions on Personal Economics and Finance for Today's Young Adults” (ISBN 0985518308), Brooks Levonitis, managing director of 4t Nox U, provides a series of topical discussions about defining financial success individually and what it really takes to become independent in today’s uncertain and complex world. 

“Financial prudence, diligence and discipline are keys to personal freedom,” says Levonitis. “I have met very few young men and women who set out into adulthood expecting to retreat back home or become wards of the state.”

Intended for college students and recent graduates, “Personal Freedom and Finance” is not a how-to guide but a direct conversation to spur serious thoughts about finding one’s passion and making financially responsible decisions. Levonitis addresses the emotional as well as the practical aspects of obtaining financial freedom. By not setting personal and financial goals, and prioritizing time and resources, many young people drift, failing to live a life that fulfills their dreams or even provides for their long-term financial needs.

The financial principles in “Personal Freedom and Finance” are fundamental. From establishing a budget to planning for a home purchase, it introduces key concepts that educate readers and encourage people to take control of important life decisions. Unlike other financial planning how-to books, “Personal Freedom and Finance” is largely concerned with showing readers the importance of defining success on their own terms and developing the basic financial skills necessary to achieve it.

“Personal Freedom and Finance” easily connects with young adults as it engages their innate desire for individual liberty and recognizes their understandable anxiety over the unstable financial, employment and housing markets. A primer in financial literacy and a motivational guide to grasping life by the horns, this book would make an excellent gift to anyone just starting out on their own.

“Personal Freedom and Finance: Short Foundational Discussions on Personal Economics and Finance for Today's Young Adults” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
