Here she strips away the extras, choosing the best financial ideas and products available today. They're all you need to create a successful and long-lasting financial plan. It's money management the No Worry way. To start with, she tells you to forget all the complicated stuff the financial industry sells. You don't need it, it costs too much, and some of it is downright bad. It's designed to make the banks, brokers, and insurance companies rich, not you. The best ideas (a super-short list!) are simple, low in cost, and easy to use. They're also sophisticated and smart. The strategies shown here are followed by some of the most successful planners and money managers around today, yet they're something everyone can understand.

Once you've set up a No Worry plan, you won't have to pay much attention to it. The choices you'll find here are all good ones. All you have to do is arrange for automatic payments and contributions and then get on with the rest of your busy life.

Jane Bryant Quinn will change the way you think about money. She has the answers busy people need. Review: Excellent Ideas!!! A++++ - This outstanding book motivated me to overcome nine years of inertia regarding financial planning. My husband and I have been vaguely worried about not saving enough for retirement or college, but we kept procrastinating research into the myriad of competing plans and investments and strategies. Fortunately, Jane Bryant Quinn has done the research and makes clear, solid recommendations about how to manage family finances. She covers all of the financial bases (including insurance and wills), so that you can be confident you haven't left anything out. She helps you establish clear financial goals, and explains which type of investments work best for various goals. Once you create your financial plan and set up automatic deposits into your investment/retirement accounts, she recommends you leave them alone and make adjustments as needed once a year! No time and energy wasted on buy/sell decisions after each stock market wiggle. Now granted, this investing program is unlikely to provide the spectacular returns that some lucky people have made in real estate or by timing the market. But Quinn argues that people who earn huge returns on their investments are really few and far between. Furthermore, she points out that those investors take on a lot of risk in order to get those kinds of returns. Her book is more than "common sense" however, - in fact, some of her ideas fly in the face of popular belief. For example, I was convinced any financial plan would have to begin with a strict budget that would ruthlessly prune lattes etc... out of our lives. Quite the contrary - Quinn says that the "latte factor" is not a significant factor in a family's financial health - it's the big ticket items that show up on credit card statements. Rather than attempt to budget and plan in ADVANCE where non-essential money goes, Quinn recommends you automate deposits to your savings/retirement accounts because you, in turn, will automatically, subconsciously, and painlessly start reining in your expenses to match the size of your checking account. It's an interesting theory, and one I want to start ASAP, as my efforts to budget every expenditure and invest anything left at the end of the month have not been very successful. She does say, however, that if you are habitually living beyond your means, racking up major credit card bills, etc..., you'll need to get that under control before you can really implement/benefit from most of the strategies in this book. All in all, an excellent book full of sound, straight forward ideas that anyone can implement - no matter how busy. Review: Great resource - One of the best books ever on understanding the basics of managing your finances. Straight-forward, easy to understand. After reading/listening gained a clearer understanding of basic financial principles, to inspire me to make some very simple changes to my life insurance and retirement savings strategy. Today I'm keeping more of my hard-earned money. My now, slightly adjusted retirement strategy is working and savings are growing, plus I'm not obsessing about my retirement future. A great book for a novice or seasoned personal money manager! She's straightforward in her advice, realistic, and not prone to jumping on financial bandwagons. Treat yourself to this book and buy one for a friend! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,000,650 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4,830 in Personal Finance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 85 Reviews | ## Images ![Smart and Simple Financial Strategies for Busy People - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51keVBVYYHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Ideas!!!

Straight-forward, easy to understand. After reading/listening gained a clearer understanding of basic financial principles, to inspire me to make some very simple changes to my life insurance and retirement savings strategy. Today I'm keeping more of my hard-earned money. My now, slightly adjusted retirement strategy is working and savings are growing, plus I'm not obsessing about my retirement future.

When it comes to investing and personal finance there are two types of people: those who think they know, and those who hope they know. The latter are the 1% who making a living in the finance industry and the former are the other 99%, you and me who watch the shows, read the books and think they can do it. The result? We've either not yet made the first step due the overwhelming array of choices or have been investing personally and not even come close to match the market yet outperform it over the long term. even the so called pros rarely outperform the market long-term. What this book has done is give you the simple strategies you need for your financial health. It actually does your homework for you and researched the best products out there and limited them to two or three for you to choose from. It explains that the key to financial success is find simple and good products, investing regularly in them and then sit back and let them grow. What you learn is that even with average returns, this strategy will more than meet your objectives. Trying to beat the market by individual stock picks however brings unneccessary risk to the table that rarely ever pays off in the long run. This doesn't mean there isn't room for individual stockpicking, but do it if you have time for extensive research and a real interest in the financial markets. Otherwise do yourself a real favour and buy this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/47564728-smart-and-simple-financial-strategies-for-busy-people](https://www.desertcart.us/products/47564728-smart-and-simple-financial-strategies-for-busy-people) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
