Simply said, financial planning is an ongoing effort to avoid future financial distress.  Key variables include present and future worth, rates of return, and time.  Want to know how many months or what rate of return is required to reach a savings goal?  What about today’s cost of future income?  Or the risk and return from stocks? Fonda Money’s Excel Financial Planning seeks answers to 25 inevitable questions for successful financial planning.

Fonda Money’s Excel Financial Planning was originally created for college business students who needed to solve time-value-of-money problems using their computers.  The spreadsheet approach supplants earlier methods tied to tables, equations, and calculators.  The broader audience may be those students’ parents and grandparents who want to solve TVM problems for real.  In either case, Fonda Money is here to make her users fond of their financial planning.
