“I have known Chris Snyder for many years thanks to Rotary. I know that he devotes many hours to “hands-on projects” in developing countries as well as many projects carried out by the Rotary Club of Toronto. What I did not know until reading his new book was his knowledge and experience in personal finance advice. As a retired chartered accountant, I believe his knowledge and treatment of how people, particularly young people, should deal with their money, is excellent. It will help all persons living on a fixed or possibly slowly growing income to better manage their finances and as a result live happier lives. It emphasizes the need to budget and put something away for a rainy day. In my opinion, it can help all persons living on a budget”.
— Wilfrid Wilkinson, C.A., Trenton, Ontario Past President of Rotary International
