The Year Off: The Anti-Budget Solution to Mastering Your Money and Following Your Dreams (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781735366401)

Here's the dilemma: You, like millions of working Americans today, are trapped in a life-sapping rut race.

You dream of leaving a job that you resent, one that consumes far too much of your time and sucks the joy out of even your non-working hours. But you keep the job because you need the income to survive.

What you, and everyone, longs for is freedom and change. Unfortunately, you erroneously don't believe it is within your reach. And why would you think it's possible when every blog and book assumes that you are a twenty-something-year-old without kids and debt?

The Year Off is a practical guide for those with children, a mortgage, and people depending on them to get unstuck and start pursuing the life they have always wanted.

As a financial planner for nearly twenty years, I've been helping clients (most of them my fellow Gen Xers) who are stuck in this bleak predicament go after their dreams. I financially know that a personal sabbatical is very doable for almost all of them, and you.

Using my unique Months of Freedom System, I will show you how to accumulate enough savings to keep your current lifestyle for a full year.

Believe me, when you link smart money habits with time away from work to explore your interests, amazing things happen. I should know During my own year off - taken without panicking my wife or children - I not only had a great time, but also wrote this book that explains step-by-step how to plan and invest meaning in a sabbatical year.
