Revealing the flamin’ hot cover of Jonathan Grimm’s new book, ‘The Future Poor’

I’m a parent of five adult children and I can tell you personally: The moment I read an early copy of this book—it hit close to home!

It’s so timely—it’s “hot.”

That’s why our Art Director Rick Nease literally has flames on the cover.

Jonathan feels that urgency and it shapes his work, every day, as a leading financial advisor and soon as an author with a message for individuals and discussion groups nationwide. He is driven because he cares about families—his own and all the other families nationwide that are facing unexpected shortfalls when they eventually try to retire.

He’s certainly convinced me! As a parent, I’m now wondering: Could one of my children wind up among ‘The Future Poor’? This was a real wake-up call that we need to find ways for our communities to take better care of each other. Together, we need to make sure our children and grandchildren someday will have the kind of retirement we all aspire to. As future retirees ourselves, my husband Evan and I find Jonathan’s whole approach to encouraging adults to remain an active part of the work force makes sense and we’re aspiring to that ourselves.

There may be flames on the cover—but there is remarkably practical wisdom in this book’s page. Jonathan’s thoroughly researched wisdom taps into the deepest values we share in our family. And, I know these core values are shared by families nationwide. Just as I did when I first read Jonathan’s book, you’re likely to recognize yourself—and your lived ones—in these pages.

And you’ll finish this book with fresh ideas for ways we can build more resilient communities together.

So, first, take a look at this book’s striking cover by Rick Nease:

IN THIS EARLIER Front Edge Publishing column, we explained the value of this free, newsy service Jonathan has created to alert folks to important financial news and fresh ideas that we may overlook in the overwhelming flow of news each day.

For this new column, we asked Jonathan to summarize his promise to readers of this free service (there’s no charge and it’s easy to cancel anytime).

Here’s how Jonathan described it: “If you subscribe to The Grimm News, you get the best financial-education piece brought to you by an award-winning ‘Mathlete,’ Rome, my son who is 10. He loves math and his team actually won a 4th-grade Pasadena city-wide competition for Mathletes, which meant they represented our city in the Los Angeles County math competition this year.”

In fact, Rome is just one part of the charm of The Grimm News, Rome pops up once a week with a short video about an important financial concept—because this truly is a family-to-family message from Jonathan. Plus—there’s also a whole lot more news that comes straight from Jonathan’s own analysis of timely information you really can use in your life.
