By Thomas C. Scott

A Review By Andrea R. Garrison - Online With Andrea

When I first received Fasten Your Financial Seatbelt What Surviving an Airline Crash Taught Me About Retirement Planning By Thomas C. Scott I was quite curious about the correlation between a financial crash and a plane crash. I started reading it and did not stop until I finished the entire book. I loved it. Everything about it was interesting to me. Reading about Thomas Scott as a child earning money, saving, investing and revealing what he learned about financial matters by watching his mother, father and others who were in his immediate surroundings. Then of course I was captivated by his heart wrenching reflections on the first Boeing 747 that crashed in Nairobi, Kenya in 1974 that killed 59 passengers leaving 98 survivors. Thomas Scott a survivor and a 23 –year-old crew member on board Lufthansa Flight 540 was hailed a hero for rescuing 12 passengers from the wreckage. The book provides real cases of how people try to manage their finances hopefully avoiding a financial crash. Fasten Your Financial Seatbelt has a wealth of information on investing and how to choose a Financial Planner. According to Fasten Your Financial Seatbelt it is not about the money that we have but what we do with the money we have and that money should not be the master but the servant. This book will prompt you to seriously examine what you truly want to do in this life. You will learn that planning is the key. Many say that money is the root of all evil but Thomas Scott has a different perspective. His view is that if you get money right, money can be the root of all happiness. If you really want to know how all of this relates to surviving a plane crash I say read the book, Fasten Your Financial Seatbelt – What Surviving an Airline Crash Taught Me About Retirement Planning.
