About Manufacturing Wealth

This website is intended to supplement the book Manufacturing Wealth. Please consider the book itself as the primary source of documentation for the key terms and concepts used on this site. The primary goal of this beta version website is to allow you to:

• Input selected 'round number' personal financial information
• Be able to see what your Personal Finance Machine™ (PFM) actually looks like - for the first time
• Be able to review the key outputs and measures
• Be able to get a sense of the health of your PFM and what you can do to improve it
• Be able to create a model, ideal or 'what-if' version of your PFM
• Get information to help you assemble your existing financial accounts into a working PFM
• Provide feedback to us on how to improve your experience and value from the site and your PFM information
