Ron Juntilla is a Minnesota author who rebuilt his life at 56 through Discipline, Consistency, Time, and a financial system he created for himself called the Life Finance Forecaster. His memoir, Time Met Me Half Way, shares the true story of that transformation and the perspective he gained along the way.
A United States Air Force veteran, Ron holds two accounting degrees (his BA in Accounting was started at the age of 44 and completed at 51 in 2011 - Thank You Augsburg University for acknowledging me and the published book - Time Met Me Half Way - on your 2026 Summer Alumni Page 2011), an Enrolled Agent, and a Certified Payroll Professional. His journey reflects the belief that it’s never too late to change your life, rebuild your future, or pursue the education you once thought was out of reach.
Ron often says he is now living Chapter 9 of his book — “There is a moment in every long journey when you look around and realize you are no longer fighting to survive — you’re building something. Not by accident. Not by luck. But by choice.”
He is exploring ideas for a future second book that continues the themes of growth, perspective, and personal transformation introduced in his memoir. Most likely how problems and life in general is looked at in various stages of the book.
The audiobook edition of Time Met Me Half Way is now available and narrated by Ron himself. A second edition, narrated by his mother, is due out at the end of fall. The audiobook has also been submitted by Ron for consideration in the 2027 Audie Awards.
**“Thank you to everyone who has purchased either my paperback book, the Kindle edition, or the audiobook. Your support helped push the Kindle version at its highest point to #45 on the Amazon Kindle Best Sellers list under the less‑than‑45‑minute Biographies & Memoirs category, and #76 in Self‑Help. I feel very strongly that this is a great memoir — written by an ordinary guy who lived through the same struggles many people face but refused to give up.
(Living Check to Check from 1978 and Working in the Comfort Zone for decades.)
I actually listen to it almost every day on my way to work to motivate and remind me of where I started.
I hope it inspires you and reminds you to try harder.
Let’s aim for #1 on the audiobook.
Thank you again,
Ron Juntilla.” **
