Download or read book Financial Security and Personal Wealth written by Lewis D. Solomon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's elderly population is soaring, presenting numerous challenges for policymakers in the United States. Other developed nations with aging populations face similar problems. There will be fewer workers relative to retirees in coming decades and the elderly are also expected to live longer. The impact of these demographic changes in the United States is likely to be challenging, especially for America's system of social security. Solomon offers new perspectives on how to meet the future costs of social security without bankrupting the next generation or gravely damaging the U.S. economy. He also shows, more broadly, how to provide for the financial security of America's senior populations.Over the past two decades, primary responsibility for providing a financially adequate retirement has shifted from the federal government and employers to individuals. For most Americans, social security alone will not provide enough income. Most companies have shed their pension plans for 401(k) plans, to which companies and employees contribute, and in which participants must make their own investment decisions. Consequently, achieving financial security in retirement has increasingly become one's personal responsibility.Solomon deals extensively with the politics of social security, past and present. He examines the presidential leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan, both of whom revived the nation's spirit in times of crisis, both of whom introduced economic policies that remain controversial to the present day. He also considers in detail contemporary efforts to rethink social security, focusing on fundamental reform of the social security system and the expansion and simplification of employer-sponsored retirement plans and individual retirement arrangements.Richly textured, informed, and informative, Financial Security and Personal Wealth encompasses history, demography, political economy, public finance, social policy.

Book excerpt: We live in a time when more and more people need credit just to make ends meet and living on the edge has become the norm. Millions feel the squeeze of more money going out than coming in and seriously want a way off the hamster wheel. Given skyrocketing costs of living, mounting debt, dwindling disposable income, outsourcing and downsizing of jobs, all-time high foreclosures, personal bankruptcies, fewer healthcare benefits and pensions, it now takes something more than it did in times past to achieve financial well-being. That something more is The Quality Life PlanT; a refreshing and overdue alternative to conventional financial wisdom. It aims to restore true wealth to middle-class Americans with uncomplicated, personal finance strategies based on the whole story about money. When the root cause of financial problems is exposed, genuine solutions have the power to reduce and reverse them. Finally, there is a way out Susan Boskey In 1979, upon meeting her most significant mentor, R. Buckminster Fuller, Susan grew to share his perspective that "life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all." As co-producer for the last leg of "Bucky's" final 1983 national speaking tour, "Only Personal Integrity is Going to Count," she gained new insight. In particular, Bucky's teachings on systems thinking inspired her to an independent study of the monetary system. Her goal was to learn why, while money greatly benefited a few, it seemed a headache for most everyone else The Quality Life Plan, a timely and refreshing approach to personal finance, is the result of Susan's 25 years of research.

Outstanding! I love the unique way it was written in PowerPoint format—original, straightforward, and easy to follow. The information the book contains, and how it is explained, makes it stand out. You do not allow the reader to blame others or make excuses about their financial situation. You tell them to look in the mirror, take responsibility, and you show them that money problems are not hopeless but fixable. The stock and real estate investing sections are informative and easy to understand. You take the complexity out of stock market investing. You show real estate investors the pitfalls to avoid. Readers will especially benefit from how you compare and contrast real estate investing with the stock market and other investments — bonds, precious metals and cash. It's evident the book was written from firsthand experience, making it truly authentic. I am impressed both by your credentials and your experience counseling over 2,000 homeowners in financial distress since 2007. This book cuts to the core of what people need to know and do to put their financial house in order. I highly recommend your book! Read it and you will substantially increase your financial I.Q.
