Putting off the decision to hire a financial planner? Most of us are. We don't want to make a mistake. And we don't know what we don't know.

Peter Dougherty knows about the topic of financial planning. Yet he has empathy for those who don't.

His book takes us on a ride of his becoming a financial planner in Spain. It's an enjoyable ride where - without realizing it - we learn about financial planning along the way.
