It seems to me that JC's book was intended for young people with informed parents. Great! However, for those of us that aren't quite boomers (41), single,not from affluent families and dedicated to career, it does raise a few questions.

I finally bought my first house 2 years ago, finally obtained a position where I earn a good wage. Should I really wait until my house is 1/2 paid off before I start investing?

My employer is government - What do you mean "Don’t invest a large part of your financial portfolio in your employer?"

Although I have made significant positive changes in my strategies, I still have much to learn but I feel that the clock is ticking quickly away. Surely these questions will appear amateurish to you, but please keep in mind your answers will probably help me more than the people that are already fully aware of what they're doing and the path they're on.

I hope to hear from you!
