Financial Literacy Author K. Samuel Murray

Bank Magic began as Murray’s response to the questions

and conversations that came from his clients. He was inspired

to provide his clients and in particular, their children, with

sound advice on managing their finances. He often heard

his clients say, “No one ever taught me about this” or “This

is the stuff I wish they taught me in school.” These questions

and conversations became the inspiration for this book.

This book reflects Murray’s passion for sharing his real-world

insight on money with his clients and their children. His goal

is that every reader walks away from with the

understanding and the tools to prepare them for today and

the world ahead tomorrow.

With this book, Murray sincerely hopes that the financial

questions that come up from young adults can be answered

and lead to a financially well-informed adult.
