## Resource

This will be of interest to anyone who seeks more money, less risk, and a better life. Wade Pfau is one of our country’s truly exceptional thought leaders when it comes to personal finance. He holds a PhD in economics from Princeton as well as the CFA and RICP® designations. Wade is a professor of practice in the Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP®) Program at The American College of Financial Services. Wade asked me to use my company’s MaxiFi Planner software to illustrate economics-based financial planning. Whether you are new to economics’ prescriptions for handling your financial life or have been applying its prescriptions for years, you’ll find this presentation of interest.
