The Money Ride (TMR) Mission:

Provide an easy-to-read self-help book on the fundamentals of personal finance to help people gain clarity and confidence in their ability to manage their finances.

   The book was created for two kinds of people.  First, for teens TMR provides an introduction to personal finance  fundamentals as a foundatio for future growth.  Second, for "financial novices" of any age the book offers a refresher course  using a behavioral perspective on a lifetime of  money decisions.  

     The TMR curriculum was created for classroom and homeschool.  The content is adaptable to learning levels and provides topic content and focus as well as lesson continuity.  It is the perfect compliment to any and all institutional online courses. 

     Print books are available on Amazon for $10 each. Downloads of the complete book (English or Spanish), teacher's guide, and toolbox are just $5 each—making personal growth and financial well-being affordable  to help as many people as possible.

"The Money Ride book got me thinking about aspects of money that I had never thought about." I really like the “Jiminy Cricket” effect of your budget system.

I really enjoyed learning about how economics get applied in the real world and how your budgeting and money habits do have a major effect on your life.

TMR Mission

From the Author...

      Economists assume people will do what they think is in their best interest

      As a professional advisor for 30+ years, I observed that  financial trouble often starts in the gap between thinking versus truly knowing what’s in your best financial interest.

     The Money Ride helps close the gap between thinking and knowing.—turning uncertainty into clarity and hesitation into informed, confident action. 

     With some fundamental money knowledge, skills, self-awareness and discipline,  anyone can take control of their finances and build a happier, more secure life.
