PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 12, 2007 – Finances have a particular knack for causing stress levels to soar.  Even common financial decisions can prove difficult to tackle, but with a little help, investing can become simple.

In her book, Keep Investments Simple but Sweet: Achieve Your Dreams by Shaping Your Financial Future (Savvy Outcomes Inc., 2006), Carol Friedhoff takes readers through the life of a fictional character named Katie who has to confront common financial decisions.  With this character, readers learn investment lessons through Katie’s experiences in buying a home, choosing life insurance, and more.
