AIER's newest publication Start Here: Getting Your Financial Life on Track by R.D. Norton, Senior Fellow and Research Advisor, has been recommended by numerous newspapers. These have included the San Jose Mercury News, Alameda Times Star, Contra Costa Times, Fremont Argus, Hayward Daily Review, Oakland Tribune, San Mateo County Times and Tri-Valley Herald (Pleasanton, CA).

Wealth insurance can also be enhanced through public education. "Unfortunately, Financial Planning 101 isn't usually a required course in high school or college, so most (graduates) aren't equipped with the basic money management tools they need to start planning for the future,'' says R.D. Norton, senior fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, a non-profit educational organization based in Great Barrington, Mass.

So Norton, who hold's a doctorate, has written "Start Here — Getting Your Financial Life on Track," a 77-page book that gets to the point on 10 financial subjects and doesn't bore the reader with long discourse. The chapters are headed How to Pay Your Bills on Time; Temptations: Credit Cards, Debit Cards, ATMs, Your Credit Score — What to Do About It; Identity Theft; Car Cost and Insurance; Staying Alive with Insurance Coverage; How to Avoid Financial Fraud; Couple and Money: Outsmarting Conflict; Retirement Planning in One Lesson; and Where Do You Want to Live?
