At last, a book perfectly designed to deal with the common anxieties most people have about handling their financial investments-without taking up all of their time.

In today's volatile market, jittery nerves are the norm when it comes to saving and investing for the future. But with these keep-it-simple, easy-to-understand, and time-tested strategies that-best of all-take very little time or energy to maintain, readers can relax.

Dr. Farrell has reviewed all of the successful investment strategies and distilled them so that even the most inexperienced investor can plan a successful financial strategy.

In this straightforward and easy-to-follow guide, national columnist Paul Farrell shows you exactly how to build wealth with your personal portfolio or 401(k)—even if you hate numbers and finance. It's the same system that Wall Street brokers quietly use to build their own private nest eggs!

• How to use as few as two mutual funds to safely sock away your money and virtually forget it
