What this book will give you

Just because you buy a home—or buy stock or save money—doesn't make you smart. It's what you do with the asset—whether it's a home or stock purchase or savings in some account—that is smart. It's whether the asset ends up being an investment that works to grow your net worth or just an expensive product you own. What you'll find in this book are strategies for maintaining, protecting and increasing the value of your home, while finding small and bigs ways to save money. Broken down into eight steps, with the final ninth step that wraps up what we've learned.
