TL;DR: Financial Literacy for Employees of Idaho Public Schools: Optimizing Financial Decisions Based on Your PERSI Benefits

I just wanted to share my latest book (written along with Trevor Deighton), this one for employees of Idaho Public Schools, focusing on financial literacy and making the most of their PERSI pension benefits.

Please consider sharing with any educators you know in Idaho.

This is the latest in the TL;DR Financial Literacy series. If you know educators in the following states/pension plans, or a young adult for the standalone young adult book, please consider sharing the appropriate book with them as well. And, if you happen to know a superintendent, school board member, principal, or union/association leader, you might suggest that this would make a great, inexpensive, possibly life-changing gift for new teachers.
