Timeless Essays and Smart Strategies for Financial Success
Synopsis
What do white-water rafting, a pickleball match, and Mr. Spock have in common? They all hold surprising lessons for mastering your money. In SKATING TO WEALTH: A PLAYBOOK FOR WINNING THE MONEY GAME, veteran financial advisor Owen Parr compiles decades of witty, insightful essays and articles into a vibrant guide that makes personal finance as engaging as a championship game. Whether you’re a rookie saver just starting out, a seasoned investor navigating market rapids, or someone plotting a secure retirement, this book is your playbook for building wealth with confidence and clarity.
Drawing on colorful analogies—from soccer teams to Star Trek logic—Parr transforms complex financial concepts into relatable, actionable advice. Each of the 16 chapters stands alone as a masterclass in a key aspect of money management, yet together they weave a cohesive strategy for long-term success. You’ll learn to:
- Anticipate market moves like Wayne Gretzky skating to where the puck’s headed, positioning your portfolio for recovery.
- Think like Spock, using logic to outsmart emotional investing traps.
- Diversify like a soccer coach, assembling a balanced team of assets to win in any market.
- Harness the magic of compounding, turning small savings into a snowball of wealth.
- Plan your finances like a dream vacation, setting goals and prepping for surprises.
- Budget with apps like YNAB or Mint to take control of your cash flow.
- Save tax-free for college with 529 plans, a game-changer for families.
- Protect your loved ones with life insurance that doubles as a financial tool.
- Navigate bull, bear, and even “chicken” markets without losing your nerve,
- Written over years of advising clients through booms, busts, and everything in between, these essays are packed with real-world insights and a touch of humor. Parr, a partner at Snowden Lane Partners’ Private Wealth Management Group, brings over a century of collective team experience to the page, offering fiduciary-grade advice that puts your goals first. Whether you’re dodging market volatility, maxing out a 401(k), or insuring your portfolio against storms, this book equips you with strategies to skate past obstacles and score financial wins.
So, lace up your skates, grab this playbook, and start building a financial future that’s as exciting as a game-winning goal. Your wealth is waiting—let’s go get it.

Story
Piper Skye is rock 'n' roll. She's party all night, sleep all day. She's get wild and be free. Or she would be if she had the time. And the energy. And not being so awkward would probably help, too. As the owner of a thriving dessert business, Piper spends her days at school and her nights elbow deep in batter and frosting. She's confident her hard work and sacrifice will pay off as long as she stays focused and sticks to the plan. Jake Hyde is a workaholic with a jaded outlook on life.
