Personal Finance
Jonah is a planner who works with people whose income is lumpy and whose anxiety is not. He cares about cash cushions, boring accounts and the difference between a number and a life. 31 Experts selected him because he can explain money without humiliation or hype.

The Top 10
Inside this Special Edition, Expert #31 answers these ten questions. That interview is one of the most valuable parts of the book — so the answers stay in the book.
If you could give just one piece of advice to someone starting out in this discipline, what would it be?
What was the biggest challenge you faced in your career, and how did you overcome it?
What is the most important “Never do this…” rule in your discipline?
Who inspired or mentored you, and what did you learn from them?
What is the biggest discovery you wish you had known on day one?
What do outsiders consistently misunderstand about your discipline?
What decision looked small at the time but changed everything?
What skill outside your discipline has contributed most to your success?
What belief did you hold when you started that you no longer believe today?
When your career is remembered, what do you hope people say you stood for?
We show the questions so you know what you will find inside. We do not publish the answers here.
What readers will learn
- How to build a buffer before optimizing.
- How to talk about money at the table.
- How to ignore products you cannot explain.
Reviews
