We all know the milestones we’re "supposed" to hit once we become adults: go to college, get a good job, buy a house, purchase a car and save for retirement.
Those are the rules, or at least they were.

Maybe what we need are some new rules for money management.
That’s where journalists Bourree Lam and Julia Carpenter come in. The pair have written a new book offering financial advice.
