This book is geared for all the investors and would-be investors out there who
know the importance of managing their money for the future but who aren’t
entirely certain how to go about it. That’s probably the majority of the general
population. Public opinion polls tell us that more Americans think and worry
about money—and how to invest it—than any generation in this country’s
history. 

Part of this, as we’ll explain, is due to the fact that more of us are
responsible for our own financial futures than ever before. Yet fewer than one
in five of us feel like we’re doing very well at this incredibly important task,
which explains why Baby Boomers and members of Generation X worry more
about their financial well-being than their own mortality.

But while investing is now a daily part of our national conversation, the
language of investing and some basic investing concepts are still foreign to
many of us. The sad reality is, no one really teaches us how to become investors.
Few high schools these days even offer economics courses, let alone
lessons in personal finance or investing. Unless your parents were investors
themselves and taught you the ins and outs of the stock and bond markets,
you were probably left to figure it out on your own.
