About this book

Helaine Olen examines personal finance advice through her experience writing newspaper articles that paired ordinary people with financial planners. Recalling assignments she accepted without specialist knowledge, she considers how confident recommendations acquire authority in the media. The opening connects financial guidance with the personal circumstances, ambitions, and uncertainties that make people seek help with money.
