About the Book
FINANCIAL PLANNING MEETS DIVINE INTERVENTION TO GUIDE YOU TOWARDS A HOLISTIC LIFESTYLE.
Everyone works for money, but the smart folk make money work for them.
Financial planning meets divine intervention in a book that guides you towards that smarter life. Certified financial planner Suresh Sadagopan breaks down complicated investment and savings plans to illustrate how financial planning can be easy-even exciting. He weaves in the stories of his clients, both entertaining and illuminating, to bring these ideas to life in a compelling narrative.
Sadagopan's financial planning is guided by Lord Krishna's precepts, a lens through which financial myths and mistakes become easier to see through. The lord even steps in to help Sadagopan with things like retirement planning, asset allocation and risk management, as he guides his clients Bala, Preeti, Kala and Anshuman through financial and life planning.
These stories give way to Sadagopan's investigation of various aspects of financial planning, both monetary and otherwise. In each of these facets, he stresses on how closely finance is linked to other aspects of life, such as children's education or retirement planning. If God Was Your Financial Planner is a compelling argument for channelling a spiritual attitude to arrive at smart financial planning.
