Conquer life’s daunting decisions with the help of a friend you’ve had right on your desk all along: Microsoft Excel.
Excel leaves a crystal ball in the dust when it comes to answers. Instead of one vague future, the spreadsheets you will learn to build show actual potential consequences of decisions you make today…change the decision: change the consequences! Yes, there are always unknowns. But, change your assumptions about them—inflation, investment returns, future expenses, and so on—and see how the outcome changes.
Advice on making and saving money is everywhere. But, only in Simple Spreadsheets for Hard Decisions do you master informed spending, saving, choosing a course of action, and other quality-of-life choices. Do the numbers to quantify your values and see possible futures beyond those of any crystal ball!
Have you, due to insufficient information, ever made a rash decision or no decision at all? The methods and samples in this book give you the know-how to make a balanced decision when you feel pulled in many directions by uncertainty or conflicting goals. The book’s simple techniques help you quickly build a spreadsheet to guide your thinking on outcomes beyond your control, for personal, financial, or business decisions.
The author is teaching a workshop on these methods in Southern California on March 15.
