Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times correspondent shares his financial successes and mishaps, offering an everyman's guide to straightening out your money once and for all. Money management is one of our most practical survival skills—and also one we've convinced ourselves we're either born with or not. In reality, financial planning can be learned, like anything else. Part financial memoir and part research-based guide to attaining lifelong security, This Is the Year I Put My Financial Life in Order is the book that everyone who has never wanted to read a preachy financial guide has been waiting for. John Schwartz and his wife, Jeanne, are pre-retirement workers of an economic class well above the poverty line, but well below the one percent. Sharing his own alternately harrowing and hilarious stories—from his brush with financial ruin and bankruptcy in his thirties to his short-lived budgeted diet of cafeteria french fries and gravy—John will walk you through his own journey to financial literacy, which he admittedly started a bit late. He covers everything from investments to retirement and insurance to wills (at fifty-eight, he didn't have one!), medical directives and more. Whether you're a college grad wanting to start out on the right foot or you're approaching retirement age and still wondering what a 401(K) is, This Is the Year I Put My Financial Life in Order will help you become your own best financial adviser.

Download or read book Pound Foolish written by Helaine Olen and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-12-27 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you’ve ever bought a personal finance book, watched a TV show about stock picking, listened to a radio show about getting out of debt, or attended a seminar to help you plan for your retirement, you’ve probably heard some version of these quotes: “What’s keeping you from being rich? In most cases, it is simply a lack of belief.” —SUZE ORMAN, The Courage to Be Rich “Are you latte-ing away your financial future?” —DAVID BACH, Smart Women Finish Rich “I know you’re capable of picking winning stocks and holding on to them.” —JIM CRAMER, Mad Money They’re common refrains among personal finance gurus. There’s just one problem: those and many similar statements are false. For the past few decades, Americans have spent billions of dollars on personal finance products. As salaries have stagnated and companies have cut back on benefits, we’ve taken matters into our own hands, embracing the can-do attitude that if we’re smart enough, we can overcome even daunting financial obstacles. But that’s not true. In this meticulously reported and shocking book, journalist and former financial columnist Helaine Olen goes behind the curtain of the personal finance industry to expose the myths, contradictions, and outright lies it has perpetuated. She shows how an industry that started as a response to the Great Depression morphed into a behemoth that thrives by selling us products and services that offer little if any help. Olen calls out some of the biggest names in the business, revealing how even the most respected gurus have engaged in dubious, even deceitful, practices—from accepting payments from banks and corporations in exchange for promoting certain products to blaming the victims of economic catastrophe for their own financial misfortune. Pound Foolish also disproves many myths about spending and saving, including: Small pleasures can bankrupt you: Gurus popularized the idea that cutting out lattes and other small expenditures could make us millionaires. But reducing our caffeine consumption will not offset our biggest expenses: housing, education, health care, and retirement. Disciplined investing will make you rich: Gurus also love to show how steady investing can turn modest savings into a huge nest egg at retirement. But these calculations assume a healthy market and a lifetime without any setbacks—two conditions that have no connection to the real world. Women need extra help managing money: Product pushers often target women, whose alleged financial ignorance supposedly leaves them especially at risk. In reality, women and men are both terrible at handling finances. Financial literacy classes will prevent future economic crises: Experts like to claim mandatory sessions on personal finance in school will cure many of our money ills. Not only is there little evidence this is true, the entire movement is largely funded and promoted by the financial services sector. Weaving together original reporting, interviews with experts, and studies from disciplines ranging from behavioral economics to retirement planning, Pound Foolish is a compassionate and compelling book that will change the way we think and talk about our money.

Download or read book Personal Investment Crash Course written by IntroBooks and published by IntroBooks. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investment refers to purchasing products and services for future gains of an individual, a family unit, or an institution. Though these products and services are not purchased for immediate consumption, they have the potential to create higher future returns for the investor. There are various types of products and services available in the financial market to benefit from the capital investments. Some of the products and services that can be used as an instrument for getting personal financial returns are: bank products, bonds, stocks, investment funds, annuities, educational investments, insurance, retirement plans, and so on. By adopting a wise investment strategy and by adopting a diversified investment portfolio, the returns can be maximized and the financial goals can be achieved for both long-term and short-term tenure. The short-term financial plan is adopted for short term monetary gains, wherein the returns can be expected within a year that is attributed with low-profit and low-risk factors. Examples of the short-term financial plans include Savings account investments, fixed deposit scheme, money market funds. On the contrary, a long-term financial plan can be adopted for long term monetary gains, wherein the duration of the plan can extend for more than year. Generally, the short-term assets/products are sold in the market after the maturity period, which provides good returns for the investor. However, the long-term assets/products are held in the investor’s possession that can earn returns in the form of dividends, interest as declared in the financial market.

Did you learn about money management and building wealth at school? Nope, neither did I Do you feel overwhelmed by all the 'money stuff' you're supposed to know, but don't know at all? You're not alone Adulting is hard. And no matter how old you are, if you don't know how to handle your money, it can be difficult to feel like an actual adult. Even though you may be enjoying some independence and even be supporting yourself with a job, you may feel totally clueless when people start talking about insurance, taxes, and investments. And it's not your fault. Personal finance was not taught to us in school. We weren't taught about budgeting, stocks, or mortgages. We didn't learn about what we can do with our money so we don't lose it to inflation. In fact, according to a recent study by the TIAA Institute, only 16% of Americans aged 18-37 are considered financially literate. The good news is you're still young. It is not too late to set yourself up for long-term financial success. And don't worry. It doesn't have to be hard - you shouldn't be intimidated by terms like compounding and risk diversification.

If you wait too long to learn the basics, you could find yourself neck-deep in debt or end up having zero dollars saved up for an emergency. And then you'll have to work twice as hard to get yourself back to where you are now. Don't get left behind because you're too lazy or too scared.

Download or read book Personal Finance for Dummies written by Eric Tyson and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2009-11-04 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If your personal financial knowledge is limited, you're probably not at fault. Personal Finance 101 isn't offered in our schools - not in high school and not even in the best colleges and graduate programs. It should be. (Of course, if it were, I wouldn't be able to write fun and useful books such as this - or maybe they'd use this book in the course!) People keep making the same common financial mistakes over and over - procrastinating and lack of planning, wasteful spending, falling prey to financial salespeople and pitches, failing to do sufficient research before making important financial decisions, and so on. This book can keep you from falling into the same traps and get you going on the best paths. As unfair as it may seem, numerous pitfalls await you when you seek help for your financial problems. The world is filled with biased and bad financial advice. As a practicing financial counselor and now as a writer, I constantly see and hear about the consequences of poor advice. Of course, every profession has bad apples, but too many of the people calling themselves ''financial planners'' have conflicts of interest and an inadequate competence level. All too often, financial advice ignores the big picture and focuses narrowly on investing. Because money is not an end in itself but a part of your whole life, this book helps connect your financial goals and challenges to the rest of your life. You need a broad understanding of personal finance to include all areas of your financial life: spending, taxes, saving and investing, insurance, and planning for major goals like education, buying a home, and retirement.....You want to know the best places to go for your circumstances, so this book contains specific, tried-and-proven recommendations. I also suggest where to turn next if you need more information and help.
