You’ve reached the end of the book. Here’s hoping that some of these tips stick with you—and wind up saving you many times whatever you paid for it!
These are the people who made this book possible:
At Flatiron Books: Jasmine Faustino, who made the experience wonderful, and publisher Bob Miller, who had the brilliant idea to turn “Pogue’s Basics” into a series!
At the Levine Greenberg Rostan Literary Agency, my friend, and the world’s best book agent, Jim Levine.
The sainted Julie Van Keuren copy edited, laid out, and indexed the book—beautifully.
I’m grateful, too, to Ed Granelli, partner at PKF O’Connor Davies accountants, for checking the accuracy of my tax tips.
During this book’s creation, I enjoyed the support and infinite patience of Jan Carpenter, Cindy Love, my team at Yahoo, and my brilliant Brady Bunch of a brood: Kell, Tia, Jeffrey, Max, and Farley.
Above all, I owe a debt to my beautiful bride, Nicki. Her love and encouragement carried this project all the way from “You know what I should write someday?” to the finished book in your hands.
