This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born Bankrupt introduces readers to the Great Transition that will affect the finances of everyone born after 1930. In his book, author Thomas P. Warren provides individuals and families with the knowledge and tools to ensure that they live their century of life without having to face actual bankruptcy. Born Bankrupt is organized in such a way that readers will first learn several important personal financial planning concepts that they must understand to fix being born bankrupt. He discusses how everyone is born with several certain life liabilities that create the born bankrupt condition and provides easy-to-read illustrations about how to develop steps to manage these liabilities. The "fix it" sections of the book walk the reader through the use of tools such as the Century of Life Balance Sheet to help control longevity risk. The role that investments play towards fixing bankrupt at birth is discussed in detail, and he lays the foundation for how an individual develops his or her own personal hurdle rate to manage their portfolios. The author discusses a wide-range of portfolio methods that the individual can adopt for themselves, or how to decide if seeking professional money management advice is the right path to follow. The author devotes much attention to investment risk management and introduces the reader to a new type of risk created by regulation and management of the global financial system. Many other useful strategies are discussed covering important steps to protect wealth, how to minimize investment losses, the role of insurance and annuities and how to handle financial distress. Mr. Warren discusses three types of transactions that individuals should avoid to prevent longevity risk. Finally, Mr. Warren offers advice for the younger generations about why it is important that they start funding their life's liabilities as early in life as possible.

David Bach has coached millions to pay off their debt and now he can guide you.

Download or read book Starting Over written by Ramsey Press and published by . This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Starting Over is the product of consumer demand. Dave Ramsey's Debtor Education (DRDE) provides pre-discharge financial education to debtors filing Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcy as mandated by the United States Trustee, delivered to its users by their attorneys. Many of those attorneys have asked that DRDE provide something to help discharged debtors avoid the pitfalls they'll face as they leave the Bankruptcy Court's jurisdiction and their lawyers' protection and return to the real world.Starting Over begins with the moving story of the Director of Dave Ramsey's Debtor Education. He has been through the trenches and has great empathy for those who have to start over, as he did himself. This chapter reinforces the credibility of those who are offering this advice.After that the chapters are divided into several sections designed to track the debtors' progress, beginning with the days after discharge. It begins with a "To-Do List" of issues that should be addressed right away--the sooner the better--listed in more or less chronological order. Some of these may seem obvious--secure your home, don't go into debt for anything, cut up credit cards, etc.--but in truth, many people who have no history of fiscal responsibility need elementary guidance and a dose of hope in their effort to change their behaviors.The next several chapters make up what is called the "Next Steps." These are matters which will take longer, and about which one may need to do some serious planning. This includes finding a career that really fits, setting short term and long term goals, working on the attitudes and behaviors that caused the bankruptcy, making sure you have the right insurance protection, to name a few.Finally there is a section entitled "Advice for Moving Forward." In addition to some real-life suggestions and examples from successful bankruptcy lawyers, this part deals with major decisions such as renting versus buying, what to do about an upside-down car or home, the arguments against cosigning, and--hopefully unnecessary--dealing with collectors and creditors.
