"Patti Brennan’s Am I Going to Be Okay? is the book I’ve been waiting for my entire adult life. She leads the reader effortlessly through the maze that is personal finance, one in which many of us, myself included, had long felt hopelessly lost. And, along with a treasure trove of crucial information, she gives us her own remarkable life story. She understands that the facts of a life, anyone’s life, are intricately interwoven with the facts about money, and how to manage it. It’s a book I’d never expected to read―a page-turner about personal finance. It’s a significant accomplishment."
