Books to Help You Prepare Before Life Happens

Tony Steuer’s award-winning books make financial and insurance topics easier to understand and help you ask better questions, make informed decisions, and prepare for life’s financial what-ifs.

Whether you’re organizing your financial life, reviewing insurance, preparing for someone to step in, or changing the way you think about money, you’ll find practical guidance you can use.

 

Practical Guidance for Real-Life Decisions

For more than 20 years, I’ve written books and workbooks that connect financial information with the decisions people face in real life.

My first book, Questions and Answers on Life Insurance, was published in 2004 and received an Excellence in Financial Literacy Education Award. Since then, I’ve continued creating practical resources about insurance, financial preparedness, organization, and thoughtful financial decision-making.

Each book has the same purpose: to make complex topics easier to understand and help you prepare before life happens.

Get Ready!

Will help you no matter what your age or circumstance—whether you are new parents starting out in your careers, or mid stride with growing bank accounts, or thinking about retiring any day now. Everyone needs to keep track of their finances, and—as I learned the hard way—the best way to keep these records is updated and in one place (with a backup, of course).

This book is designed to be a financial companion. Whether you need to organize your finances in the event of a disaster (emergency evacuation) or when applying for a loan or reviewing assets for retirement, this book will make your life easier. It will also help you prepare for death or a situation in which someone has to step in to manage your financial life. Finally, it will help you maximize your existing resources by spotting any gaps in your financial plan while eliminating any unnecessary or duplicative financial products and services.

Insurance Made Easy

The right insurance can make a big difference for you and those who depend on you. The secret to making this process pain-free is to take control by educating yourself and using that knowledge to save on your insurance premiums and obtain the right insurance to help you through a devastating loss to your income, health, home, auto, or life. If any of these are a risk to you, you need to insure that risk while also making sure you don’t overpay for coverage you don’t need.
