But in your head accept that from this day on you're a free agent whose number one workplace priority is your personal bottom line.

Die Broke It sounds terrifying, the one intolerable outcome to your financial life.

Download or read book Financial Straight Talk written by Dee Mosier and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your #1 goal should be to have money for retirement. We all want the finer things in life; we are a society obsessed with instant gratification. However, all of your decisions (the financial ones, at least) should be primarily based on both your future and your retirement. With this as an overall theme, this book will walk you down the road to retirement, providing you with options and choices that are most appropriate for your particular situation. No one said the road would be easy, but do not worry, we will face those speed bumps head on, and we will do it together. The best time to start planning for retirement is now! A significant change in the last 20 years is the position of global investments. In 1990, 75 percent of investment opportunities were in the United States and 25 percent in other places around the world. Currently, it is almost the opposite with about 75 percent of the opportunities outside the United States. The U.S. is still the #1 financial leader in the world. Japan is #2. In 2010, China overtook Germany to become #3. We need to recognize that other countries are maturing and we want to make sure you have considered all investment opportunities that exist. By the end of this book, you will be comfortable enough to make your own decisions regarding your investments. If you are not, it will allow you to be comfortable asking any financial consultant the right questions. This book is about giving you new tools. So, we brought in Morningstar® to enable you to evaluate your options and introduced a global perspective to help you maximize potential returns. Think of it this way: if this were your favorite coffee blend (with all the right ingredients), you would want a refill.

Download or read book Blockchain Decentralized Finance written by Andrew Walker and published by Andrew Walker. This book was released on 2022-10-07 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blockchain technology and the invention of smart-contracts running on it have given rise to Decentralized Finance. At the time of its birth, DeFi was seen as a response to the 2008 crisis and a hope to democratize finance. By eliminating the role of intermediaries and fluidifying property through tokenization, finance would become accessible to all. To overcome all the obstacles it faced (volatility, security issues, distrust etc.), DeFi had to find original ways to develop, by leveraging sociologically diverse communities of enthusiastic developers, users and investors from all over the world. In particular, it has distinguished itself in the fields of communication, marketing and community building through an original use of social networks and messaging tools. We have specifically emphasized these latter aspects, based on our professional experience and interviews with experts working in the field. It appears that DeFi is potentially interesting for companies. Indeed, Blockchain technology is generalizable to many other areas of economic activity beyond finance. Moreover, the DeFi communities foreshadow the communities of entrepreneurs and users/consumers of the future Web3.0. DeFi is the manifestation of a new era of the Internet. Due to key elements of blockchain and smart contracts, the value of data could be wrested from the hands of Internet giants, that control the ad market, and be restituted to businesses and consumers. Through the direct relationship with the consumer, this technology is becoming a powerful tool for optimizing business operations, reducing costs and creating value. Businesses will have to reconsider relationship with their customers, in a spirit of community and direct interaction with them (which blockchain allows, i.e. through remuneration of the user/customer). However, if blockchain technology is mature, its use is still too amateurish. In this context, it is crucial to rely on recognized professionals, because a hasty implementation can lead to serious risks for the reputational and financial integrity of companies. Experts we have interviewed have emphasized this key issue. On the one hand, a business with significant capital can invest heavily in Web3.0 and can develop its own blockchain solutions to stay ahead of its competitors. On the other hand, a small business cannot do the same. With less technical and financial capital, the small business is currently only able to implement technologies that are not very advanced and whose utilization carries risks. But the situation may change rapidly in the future. Get this book and you will learn more on blockchain and decentralized finance.
