Book excerpt: 2022 NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS FINALIST — SOCIAL/POLITICAL CHANGE • 2022 ASJA ANNUAL WRITING AWARD WINNER — SERVICE • 2022 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS GOLD MEDALIST — SOCIAL CHANGE & SOCIAL JUSTICE • 2022 AXIOM BUSINESS BOOK AWARD GOLD MEDALIST — PHILANTHROPY/NONPROFIT/SUSTAINABILITY How do we vote with our dollars, not just to make ourselves feel good, but to make a real difference? Wallet Activism challenges you to rethink your financial power so can feel confident spending, earning, and saving money in ways that align with your values. While we call the American system a democracy, capitalism is the far more powerful force in our lives. The greatest power we have—especially when political leaders won’t move quickly enough—is how we use our money: where we shop, what we buy, where we live, what institutions we entrust with our money, who we work for, and where we donate determines the trajectory of our society and our planet. While our votes and voices are essential, too, Wallet Activism helps you use your money for real impact. It can feel overwhelming to determine “the right way” to spend: a choice that might seem beneficial to the environment may have unintended consequences that hurt people. And marketers are constantly lying to you, making it hard to know what choice is best. Wallet Activism empowers us to vote with our wallets by making sense of all the information coming at us, and teaching us to cultivate a more holistic mindset that considers the complex, interrelated ecosystems of people and the planet together, not as opposing forces. From Tanja Hester, Our Next Life blogger and author of Work Optional, comes the mindset-shifting guide to help you put your money where your values are. Wallet Activism is not a list of dos and don’ts that will soon become outdated, nor does it call for anti-consumerist perfection. Instead, it goes beyond simple purchasing decisions to explore: The impacts a financial decision can have across society and the environment How to create a personal spending philosophy based on your values Practical questions to quickly assess the “goodness” of a product or an entity you may buy from The ethics of earning money, choosing what foods to eat, employing others, investing responsibly, choosing where to live, and giving money away For anyone interested in leaving the world better than you found it, Wallet Activism helps you build habits that will make your money matter.

Currently there are millions of people planning for their retirement and unfortunately what they are doing is wrong.

In order to help people to save their Social Security benefits, lower their tax obligations, maximize their retirement income and control their health costs in retirement, we've gathered seven of the leading retirement experts writing today to point out the realities of the new rules of retirement and what you can do to take back control of your future.

Book excerpt: How to make enough passive income from your properties to retire in 10 years, even if you have zero investments today Do you want to shorten your years working a 9-to-5 job and increase the years you'll spend doing what you love, while you can still do it? Traditional wisdom advises us to keep toiling, scrimping, and saving until we finally reach the retirement age of 60, after which we can live off what we've saved and hope we die before it runs out. But what if you can hustle more today so you don't have to wait until you're a senior citizen to enjoy life's freedoms? What if you can continue making money in retirement so that you can afford to leave a significant nest egg to your children? Real estate is lauded by many financial experts as a key to building wealth. It's a reliable means of beating inflation, a tangible investment that can be leveraged and can exponentially increase its value through capital appreciation. One of the best benefits of real estate is its income-producing opportunities. There are a lot of ways real estate can make you money, from flipping, rentals, and more. You can take advantage of these opportunities to build a regular pension that will provide a steady source of income -- and replace your day job -- way sooner than it would take with stock investments.

How to buy your first investment property with limited funds and minimal experience The indispensable step you should never skip when selecting an investment property, which will save you time and money down the road How you can live in your property for free while easing into the world of real estate rentals How taking out a loan and paying interest can help you save money and earn a higher return on investment How you can upgrade to a bigger and more profitable property without having to pay additional taxes 5 resourceful value-adding ideas to add significant dollars to your rental income without having to shell out more money How to shorten your mortgage by as much as 13 years, while continuing to invest in more properties And much more. Nothing worthwhile will come without some effort and commitment. Even though early retirement doesn't seem like an achievable goal right now, if you're truly serious about changing your life's trajectory, you can make it happen. There will be some lifestyle changes involved, a lot of hard work to be done, and a huge amount of patience required. But in the end, all that will be worth it to live the life you've always wanted.

Download or read book Retired at 35 written by Can Akdeniz and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-01-26 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The truth is most of us don't even think they deserve a life of financial freedom but it's also true that all of us would just love to be able to do what we want, when we want and cut loose from any pecuniary related worries and restraints forever. I ask you now: how often do you reflect on this possibility? The thing is, if you do think of an early retirement you probably know or think also of the things you would do if money wasn't a problem for you anymore. There are, of course, the somehow to be expected answers such as becoming more involved with your family, spending more time with your friends, visiting all the places you've always wanted to visit, joining a noble cause etc. and they are all just wonderful, but I do believe that even here there is so much more unexplored potential that would ultimately reveal itself in its fullness when you once you are no longer financially confined. But it's not the same for everybody - for some, who are aware of the dreams or the passions they want to pursue, the latter become the very motivator for fighting to achieve their financial liberation, for others this exact financial liberation is the driving force, the means through which they hope to finally be able to be with themselves and learn those things they love doing most in this life. Whatever side you take here, this book is for you. Probably the main thing we are facing when considering retiring at an early age is making sure we have enough resources to provide a decent level of income to support us. So, yes, saving is a major topic in this case, but how much should we save and how should we save? Which are the options available for us? This book address these questions in a very accessible way offering you a quick start guide to taking the steps you need on your way to an early financial retirement.
