A Simple Book of Financial Wisdom: Teach Yourself (and Your Kids) How to Live Wealthy with Little Money
Danny Kofke is passionate about helping families become financially free. The principles and practices that have helped his family of four reach a point of financial freedom on a teacher's salary are applicable to anyone who dreams of financially thriving instead of barely surviving.
Danny recently returned to the classroom after a couple years' hiatus to help teachers win with their money. On behalf of an organization that oversees retirement plans for school districts across the southeastern United States, Danny presented to thousands of educators to help them better manage their money.
Danny's love of teaching and personal finance has led him to write four books. His everyday approach to handling money has led to appearances on numerous television shows, including Fox & Friends, The CBS Early Show, CNN's Newsroom, The 700 Club, and The Clark Howard Show.
He has also been interviewed on over 600 radio shows and featured in a number of publications, including USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo.com, Money Magazine, Consumer Reports, Reader's Digest, and The Huffington Post.
Danny's wife, Tracy, was a first grade teacher before becoming a stay-at-home mom to their daughters Ava and Ella. After living on Danny's $42,000 salary for eight years, Tracy returned to the classroom a few years ago and currently works part time. Despite living on a moderate income for years, the Kofkes have no debt except their small mortgage, have a one-year emergency fund in place, invest to ensure they will retire with a sizable nest egg and, most importantly, live wealthy lives on less.
Danny offers presentations for corporate audiences, school systems, churches - - and any organization that wants to help their members move to a new level of financial freedom.

I just wanted to take a moment and brag on Danny Kofke. He has been absolutely wonderful! We have had more people start contributing / increasing contributions with Danny here this week than we have at any other time when a Lincoln representative has come to Murray County Schools. I truly believe it is all because of Danny and the way he explains the importance of saving for retirement and how he interacts / connects with all of the employees.
