The author though brings forth both the problem and the solution, he still suggests to fix their own issues in the light of this but not as it is. He thoroughly insists for a personal approach to the personal finance, but not a general or common formula for all.

The author needs a huge appreciation for bringing up financial issues for the benefit of the readers and for the betterment of the society.
