Donna Skeels Cygan, CFP® owned a financial planning firm for over 20 years, and was selected many times as one of the top financial advisors in the US. She wrote The Joy of Financial Security to help people tackle their money challenges and attain financial security. She is convinced that managing our money wisely can help us lead happier, more fulfilling lives.

Her book won multiple awards, and was featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, AARP, Forbes, and Kiplinger. Cygan appeared in over 20 TV interviews—on CBS, ABC, NBC, and Fox—to discuss various topics from the book.

A reader wrote the following Amazon review on January 13, 2024:

“I just ordered multiple, additional copies of this excellent book to give to my family members. I told them it is required reading (there will be a quiz!) if I am to gift them money each year. I don’t put any other strings on what I give because I know after reading this easy-to-read and apply book, they will make the right decisions.”
