Overcome debt, make smart money decisions, and build a financially secure future
Do you support your family, pay your taxes, get the bills done on time—and yet still struggle to achieve financial security? If so, you’re not alone. About one-third of all Americans have not saved for retirement, another third have no savings at all, and more than half have no budget.
How did we get here? Two words: financial illiteracy. As money and finance have become more complex over the decades, the average American has not been able to keep up—in essence, leaving our personal financial decisions up to banks, bureaucrats, policymakers, and even fraudsters.
Norm Champ, a former director at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), provides an in-depth primer on how money works, designed just for you—the non-finance reader. Champ shows how to:
• Pay off your loans and stay out of debt for the long run
• Build savings that will see you through thick and thin
• Avoid financial disaster—from bad credit deals to outright scams
• Start building a safe, smart investing portfolio
Our financial system is easier to grasp than you think—and armed with this new knowledge and insight, you’ll finally take control of your financial future.
When you know how money works, you make better financial decisions. It’s that simple. Mastering Money demystifies finance and provides plainspoken, straightforward advice for building a solid financial foundation you can count on in good times and bad.

“Everyone should read this book, especially young people starting out in the work force. It shows how to take control of our economic lives and avoid the many financial traps ensnaring so many Americans today. These are the lessons of financial security and independence--in a book that is easily read, crisp and timely.”
--J. Christopher Giancarlo, Former Chairman of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission
“Most people know—some from bitter personal experience, others from observation—that financial insecurity and, in particular, debt are among the things that today threaten the health and well-being of families across our nation. But debt can be avoided, and financial security can be achieved. Norm Champ explains how, and does so in plain language and a straightforward style. I especially commend his book to young people who are embarking on careers, and young couples who are starting out in life together. It contains wisdom they can ill afford to miss. “
--Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and Director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions, Princeton University
