Findependence Day presents personal finance in a "can't put down" story format easily digested by young adults entering the workforce and the world of money. Because money problems often cause marital breakups, it focuses on the financial journey of a young couple who experience the usual ups and downs of job loss, buying homes, raising children, investing and pensions, starting businesses, coping with stock market volatility, and more.
