The Taking Control Plan(SM) by Author Rick Johnson Is a Unique and Innovative Six-Step Process for Surviving and Thriving in Today's Tough Economy

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 7 /PRNewswire/ -- RICK JOHNSON, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER(R) AND AUTHOR of Keep Your Assets Take My Advice™ (iUniverse Publisher - ISBN-10 144012695X), has put together an innovative six step process called The Taking Control Plan(SM). Johnson's The Taking Control Plan(SM) is a well-thought-out process that has as its foundation a strategy for level debt reduction, keeping discretionary spending under control, establishing separate savings accounts for specific goals and building emergency funds. These first four steps are critical to getting organized and under control before moving onto the final two steps of funding retirement or investment accounts. The money flow of The Taking Control Plan(SM) is a step-by-step process building on one another as debt reduces and cash flow increases.

Johnson's The Taking Control Plan(SM) is a far superior alternative to having no strategy to reduce debt, no control over discretionary spending, no targeted savings goals and no emergency funds. Further, Johnson explains, "It makes no sense to be putting money into investment and retirement accounts when there is no strategy in regard to debt, discretionary spending, achieving savings goals, or building emergency funds, especially in this economy. The Taking Control Plan(SM) builds that much needed foundation."
