New York Times columnist John Schwartz wrote his new book, "This Is The Year I Put My Financial Life In Order," for people willing to learn new money skills before it's too late.
Sharing both harrowing and hilarious personal stories, from his brush with financial ruin and bankruptcy in his thirties to his budgeted diet of cafeteria French fries and gravy, Schwartz discusses his journey to financial literacy, which he admittedly started a bit late.
He covers everything from investments to retirement and insurance to wills to medical directives.
