An indispensable guide for any recent graduate that provides simple,
easy-to-follow rules for making smart personal finance choices during
the first decade of one's career. Having graduated from college with a
degree, even the luckiest newly minted professionals—those who are
able to quickly find a full-time job and support themselves—are
often burdened with thousands of dollars in student loan debt. Many of
these young professionals grow up hearing that they should not invest
until their debt is paid off. Others fall too readily for investment
scams or the siren call of instant entrepreneurship. Still others
don't invest at all. From financial expert Michael C. Taylor comes a
proposed means by which to not only pull oneself out of debt but to
start building wealth from the first day on the job: adoption of
modesty, skepticism, and optimism. The Financial Rules for New College
Graduates explains that by embodying modesty, the opposite of
status-seeking ostentation; skepticism, the ability to recognize
scams, false promises, and the hyperbole and short-sightedness of
financial media; and optimism, the belief that financial security can
be yours with little to no risk, anyone can attain financial security.
The early chapters address the role of interest rates, compound
interest, and discounted cashflows, while the remaining chapters
explore each of the most consequential personal finance choices that
recent graduates will make in the first ten years of their career.
