How a Financial Pro Lost His House (NY Times)

Carl Richards, a Las Vegas-based financial advisor and author, writes for the New York Times and has just created a new book, “The Behavior Gap: Simple Ways to Stop Doing Dumb Things With Money,” which comes out in January.

Richards’ book comes from some challenging personal experiences. After working as a top Merrill Lynch adviser, he took part in the American dream and bought a house too expensive for his means – as many people did.
