Financial Wizard

Carol comes home and her husband Don grills her about where she's been. Suspicious, he presses her, and sure enough, she confesses: she was out on a shopping trip! They had agreed not to spend any more money until they met with a financial planner. Don, however, tells Carol not to worry-he may have a plan. A lower interest rate on a new credit card will save hundreds. Plus, if they take out a home equity loan, they can write off the interest from that. The combined savings will add up to thousands of dollars, according to his calculations. Of course, the whole plan is fraught with screwball reasoning.Willow Creek Association is the author of 'Financial Wizard', published 1999 under ISBN 9780310679813 and ISBN 0310679818.
