Book excerpt: Jason is typical of today's college students, who are assuming unprecedented debt burdens because of relaxed limits on student loans and easily obtained credit cards. Many on college campuses are calling it a fiscal crisis. Financial Basics tackles the gaps in the personal financial knowledge of college students. Beginning with debit-credit card issues, student loan decisions, and the challenge of managing and reducing debt, Knox walks readers through money management. She skillfully addresses the how to's of checking accounts, spending plans, emergency funds, and credit histories. She discusses financial personalities and the emotions of money, as well as practical record-keeping and simple filing techniques. In Financial Basics, Knox blends her extensive money-management experience with her desire to inform and help students master their finances: she shares experiences about money lessons learned in college, and offers sound solutions and advice for students and their families. Since everyone does not handle money in the same way, Knox gives money-management options for readers to find their best way. The book includes helpful worksheets and is written in an easy-to-read style, using testimonials and examples that will ring true to students.

Download or read book What Money Can t Buy written by Susan E. Mayer and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children from poor families generally do a lot worse than children from affluent families. They are more likely to develop behavior problems, to score lower on standardized tests, and to become adults in need of public assistance. Susan Mayer asks whether income directly affects children's life chances, as many experts believe, or if the factors that cause parents to have low incomes also impede their children's life chances. She explores the question of causation with remarkable ingenuity. First, she compares the value of income from different sources to determine, for instance, if a dollar from welfare is as valuable as a dollar from wages. She then investigates whether parents' income after an event, such as teenage childbearing, can predict that event. If it can, this suggests that income is a proxy for unmeasured characteristics that affect both income and the event. Next she compares children living in states that pay high welfare benefits with children living in states with low benefits. Finally, she examines whether national income trends have the expected impact on children. Regardless of the research technique, the author finds that the effect of income on children's outcomes is smaller than many experts have thought. Mayer then shows that the things families purchase as their income increases, such as cars and restaurant meals, seldom help children succeed. On the other hand, many of the things that do benefit children, such as books and educational outings, cost so little that their consumption depends on taste rather than income. Money alone, Mayer concludes, does not buy either the material or the psychological well-being that children require to succeed.

Download or read book Money Energy Mastery written by Susan Glusica and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-10 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you trying to figure out how to bring in more money into your business? Do you know you've got a money block or are upper limiting-preventing yourself from going beyond what you've always done-with your ability to get higher level clients? Does it seem difficult to see how to match your bank account to your hustle? Maybe it's not in the doing at all. Perhaps it's in the way you are BEing, and how you are feeling about deserving more money. Susan's purpose with clients is to help you believe differently about money, and BE leading your money differently, because beliefs shapes reality and we only receive money to our capacity. You don't have to struggle. You don't have to remain in overwhelm. You don't even have to be afraid of, or have anxiety around, money. It can be easier. In fact, (newsflash!) that's the way it's supposed to be. Inviting in and receiving more money is meant to be easy. In this power-packed manifesto, Susan explains how she came to her signature discovery of the 7 energetic levels of money consciousness, helps you identify which level you are currently in and provides a prescription for getting you to your next level, most easily and efficiently. Look, we don't want the money. We want what money gets us or does for us, so we can be, do, and have more. Like taking better care of ourselves, our family, our community. Or giving back more. The more money we have, the better options we have, the more secure we feel, the higher confidence we have in our future, and the more fully expressed we become. In fact, in The Science of Getting Rich, Wallace D. Wattles states that desiring money for what it can get us or do for us is noble. There is no higher pursuit. You also learn the importance of leading your money with your energy, and the spiritual side of money consciousness. Everything is energy. Just by breathing you are worthy of abundant prosperity. Join Susan on this illuminating tour of just how easy it is to have whatever amount of money you desire.
