I believe we are failing our brothers. The American fire service has excelled in training our firefighters for the job. However, we often fail to prepare them for financial success and life after the fire department. After years of dedicated service, many reach the end of their careers and realize they may not be prepared financially for retirement. This problem needs to be corrected, which is why I wrote this book. The topic of finances can seem overwhelming and sometimes even intimidating. For that reason, I have unpacked unfamiliar terms, included real-life examples, and avoided over-complicated language in the book. Instead, I use firefighter tactics and terminology to make financial strategies easy to learn and apply. The information in Fireproof Finances progresses to build knowledge and give you tools and tips to build a solid financial foundation. The structure will allow you to understand the concepts, apply them, and succeed financially. So, dive in and learn to take back your finances, run your financial firehouse, and retire wealthy.
