- Finding the right financial advisor
- Crafting a comprehensive financial plan

Empowering You Against Misinformation
In an era where financial advice is plentiful yet often misguided, Evans provides wisdom on navigating dangerous misinformation online. She discusses the eight critical components of a solid financial plan, ensuring that you have the tools needed to protect your financial health. And don’t worry—she even includes a delightful recipe for a chocolate martini to help you unwind!

"This book contains my most significant observations from working with more than 500 individuals and families for over 20 years," says Evans. The focus on understanding your unique Money Why can revolutionize your financial life.
