“As so many Americans feel powerless to confront a financial system designed to serve the few, Shuman offers us real choices: tools that align our lives with our values. That’s power. I love this highly readable, timely, surprising book.” —Frances Moore Lappé, author of Daring Democracy and Diet for a Small Planet“As so many Americans feel powerless to confront a financial system designed to serve the few, Shuman offers us real choices: tools that align our lives with our values. That's power. I love this highly readable, timely, surprising book.” —Frances Moore Lappé, author of Daring Democracy and Diet for a Small Planet Americans agree on very little these days, but red state conservatives and blue state progressives can agree on one critical point: Wall Street can no longer be trusted. Yet most of us continue to invest our money in the stocks and bonds of Fortune 500 companies, transferring our capital far from where we live and work. Local investing expert Michael Shuman offers another alternative. He shows how we can use two well-established—but rarely used—investment tools to keep our money close and get a return as good as or better than what we'd get investing in distant, indifferent corporations. Shuman explains the nuts and bolts of self-directed IRAs and solo 401(k)s and how they can be combined with other recently legalized local investing tools. He details how to set these accounts up, identify and evaluate a whole range of local investment opportunities, and make sure account holders stay on the right side of the law. While the book is written for people without a lot of investment experience—Shuman explains concepts like “liquidity” and “diversification” in simple terms—even if you're as experienced as Warren Buffett, this book will make you rethink everything you know about investing. With Shuman's expert advice, you can strengthen your investment portfolio and your community, neighborhoods, and schools at the same time!

Is Social Security really going bust, and what does that mean to me? If I hire an immigrant, am I hurting a native-born worker? Why does the stock market go up when employment declines? Should I give that homeless guy a buck? What’s a “living wage”? How much can presidents really affect economic outcomes? What does the Federal Reserve Bank really do? And even when some pundits say the economy’s sound, why do I still feel so squeezed? If you’d like some straight answers, premier economist Jared Bernstein is here to help. In Crunch he responds to dozens of questions he has fielded from working Americans, questions that directly relate to the bottom-line, dollars-and-cents concerns of real people. Chances are if there’s a stumper you’ve always wanted to ask an economist, it’s solved in this book. Bernstein is fed up with “Darth Vaders with PhDs” who use their supposed expertise to intimidate average citizens and turn economics into a tool for the rich and powerful. In the pages of Crunch, Bernstein lays bare the dark secret of economics: it’s not an objective scientific discipline. It’s a set of decisions about the best way to organize our society to produce and distribute resources and opportunities. And we all can, and must, participate in these decisions. “America is a democracy,” he writes. “And in a democracy all of us, not just the elites and their scholarly shock troops, get to weigh in on biggies like this.” To not weigh in, Bernstein insists, is a profoundly political act, one with damaging consequences. Our economy will be only as fair as we can make it. In this lively and irreverent tour through everyday economic mysteries, Bernstein helps us decode economic “analysis,” navigate through murky ethical quandaries, and make sound economicdecisions that reflect our deepest aspirations for ourselves, our families, and our country.

The investment advice and management industry is built on fraud: the idea that professional advisors can predictably and consistently help you get a better rate of return on your investments. The industry sells us on this lie using manipulative tactics that are studied, refined, Wall Street minted, and Madison Avenue packaged. And extraordinarily effective. Here, Michael Edesess exposes the shocking truth that, in fact, behind the success of nearly every prosperous investment professional lies not the ability to procure higher rates of return on investment for his or her clients but the ability to procure astoundingly high fees from those clients and nothing more. Through fascinating and sometimes humorous anecdotes and straightforward explanations of investment theory and scientific evidence, Edesess reveals just how badly investors are being scammed by The Big Investment Lie. He examines how the master salespeople that make up the industry sell their cleverly concocted distortions of truth--to the tune of $200 billion a year--to unsuspecting consumers who swallow them hook, line and sinker. He then shines a spotlight on the true cost of the industry's useless advice, showing that a prudent independent investor, following a conservative strategy, can reap anywhere from 40 percent to over 100 percent more than an investor who falls for The Big Investment Lie. Detailing the Ten New Commandments for Smart Investing--practical advice for how, where, and when to invest your money to maximize wealth--The Big Investment Lie provides the guidance you need to secure your financial future without throwing your hard-earned money away on the fraudulent investment advice industry.

The first and only comprehensive resource designed to empower everyday people with insider knowledge on moving money for a more equitable economy.The money myths end here. We don't need to choose between creating meaningful wealth for ourselves and our families today, or supporting social movements creating a better tomorrow. We don't all need to become certified financial "experts" to be economically empowered and make a real difference in our communities. And we're far from powerless when it comes to changing the financial system, just because we don't happen to belong to the 1%. Quite the opposite.Financial activism is how everyday people radically reimagine money as a tool for widespread well-being, instead of a weapon of absurdly increasing inequality. It's the antidote to traditional finance that evokes confusion, trauma, and (in the best-case scenario) straight-up boredom. It's how we-the underestimated-collectively resist systems that cause harm to people and the planet for the sake of profit, reclaim wealth that's been stolen, and redesign our relationships with capital and one another, in ways big and small.Going beyond tried financial literacy, The Financial Activist Playbook offers eight accessible, actionable, "choose-your-own-adventure" strategies for readers to experiment with. Drawing on timely insider knowledge from the worlds of impact investing, social justice, and more, Rashid illuminates a treasure trove of stories: demonstrating how people power can flow big bucks out of extractive industries, and into the economy of care and abundance we deserve. Playbook readers will be equipped to start visualizing and influencing the unique networks of wealth all around each of us, with strategies likeShifting collective budgets and bank dollars;Flexing our role as everyday philanthropists;Leveraging the magic of community investment;And so much more.Laced with refreshing humor, empowering exercises, and a steadfast commitment to truth-telling, Rashid takes readers on an energizing ride of financial possibility and practicality that will reverberate for generations to come.Part I: The Promise of Fusion 1.

Do you ever hear about a self-made millionaire in the news and wonder: how did they achieve it? In this book, Brian Tracy walks you through the hidden secrets of what makes self-made millionaires, and shows how anyone, no matter where they are in life at this moment, can become a millionaire.Do you ever hear about a self-made millionaire in the news and wonder: how did they achieve it? In this book, Brian Tracy walks you through the hidden secrets of what makes self-made millionaires, and shows how anyone, no matter where they are in life at this moment, can become a millionaire. The advice in this book is based on Brian Tracy's twenty-five years of research, teaching, and personal experience on the subject of self-made millionaires. Tracy himself used these ideas to rise from humble beginnings to become a millionaire. And Tracy has discovered that all successful people practice these 21 success secrets, whether they're consciously aware of it or not. In The 21 Success Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires Tracy not only identifies and defines each success secret, but also reveals its source and foundation, illustrates how it functions in the world, and shows how to apply it in life and work through specific steps and practical exercises that everyone can use. Easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to apply, this book shows how anyone can cultivate the habits and behaviors that will enable them to achieve not just financial independence, but success in any area of life. Because, as Tracy writes, "The most important part of achieving great success is not the money. It is the kind of person you have to become to earn that money and hold onto it."The Law of Cause and EffectWhat you are about to learn can change your life. These ideas, insights, and strategies have been the springboards to financial success for millions of men and women, young and old, rich and poor. These principles are simple, effective, and fairly easy to apply. They have been tested and proven over and over again, and they will work for you if you will take them and apply them in your own life.We are living at the greatest time in all of human history. More people are becoming wealthy today, starting from nothing, than ever before imagined. There are more than seven million millionaires in America, most of them self-made, and the number is growing by 15 to 20 percent each year. We even have self-made ten millionaires, hundred millionaires, and more than two hundred billionaires. We have never seen this type of rapid wealth creation in all of human history.Here's the best news of all. Virtually everyone starts with nothing. More than 90 percent of all financially successful people today started off broke or nearly broke. The average self-made millionaire has been bankrupt or nearly bankrupt 3.2 times. Most wealthy people failed many times before they finally found the right opportunity that they were able to leverage into financial success. And what hundreds of thousands and millions of other people have done, you can do as well.2The iron law of human destiny is the Law of Cause and Effect. This law is simple yet very powerful. It says that there is a specific effect for every cause. For every action, there is a reaction. This law says that success is not an accident. Financial success is the result of doing certain, specific things over and over again until you achieve the financial independence that you desire.Nature is neutral. The natural world, the marketplace, or our society does not care who you are or what you are. The Law of Cause and Effect says that if you do what other successful people do, you will eventually get the results that other successful people get.And if you don't, you won't. This law says that when you learn the success secrets of self-made millionaires and apply them in your own life, you will experience results and rewards far beyond anything you have accomplished up until now.Here is an important point for you to remember. Nobody is better than you and nobody is smarter than you. Let me repeat that. Nobody is better than you and nobody is smarter than you. Get those thoughts out of your mind. One of the primary reasons for selling yourself short, for underachievement and lack of financial success, is the conviction that people who are doing better than you are better than you. This is simply not the case.The fact is that most self-made millionaires are ordinary people with average educations working at average jobs and living in average neighborhoods in average houses driving average cars. But they have found out what other financially successful people do and they have done those same things over and over again until they achieved the same results. It is no miracle and it is no accident. And when you think the same thoughts and do the same things that self-made millionaires do, you will begin to get the same results and benefits they do. It is simply a matter of cause and effect.There are 21 success secrets of self-made millionaires. Each of these is indispensable to your becoming financially independent. The failure to apply any one of these principles can, by itself, undermine and even destroy your chances for health, happiness, and great prosperity.The good news is that you can learn every one of these principles by practice and repetition, over and over again, until they become as natural to you as breathing in and breathing out. Just as you learned to ride a bicycle or drive a car, you can learn the success secrets of self-made millionaires and apply them in your life. And there are no limits except the limits you place on yourself by your own thinking. Now, let us begin.Preface Introduction: The Law of Cause and Effect Success Secrets 1 Dream Big Dreams 2 Develop a Clear Sense of Direction 3 See Yourself as Self-Employed 4 Do What You Love to Do 5 Commit to Excellence 6 Work Longer and Harder 7 Dedicate Yourself to Lifelong Learning 8 Pay Yourself First9 Learn Every Detail of Your Business10 Dedicate Yourself to Serving Others11 Be Absolutely Honest with Yourself and Others12 Determine Your Highest Priorities and Concentrate on Them Single-Mindedly 13 Develop a Reputation for Speed and Dependability14 Be Prepared to Climb from Peak to Peak 15 Practice Self-Discipline in All Things16 Unlock Your Inborn Creativity 17 Get around the Right People 18 Take Excellent Care of Your Physical Health19 Be Decisive and Action Oriented 20 Never Allow Failure to Be an Option21 Pass the “Persistence Test”Conclusion: Success Is PredictableAbout the AuthorIndex The Millionaire-Maker SeminarBrian Tracy, Speaker, Trainer, Seminar Leader Brian Tracy Audio Learning Programs

Complete Guide to Academic & College Planning for TeensA must for every high school student." —Christie Barnes, author of What Every Parent Needs to Know About College AdmissionsThe College Bound Planner is your step-by-step comprehensive college planning guide to organize every step of your high school education while preparing smart goals for college.Get your teens ready now! College may seem far away but thinking ahead and understanding how things work will help your teen prepare. In these uncertain times, parents and students are feeling even more anxious about how to approach college readiness. This book provides advice and guidance starting at freshman year of high school up through senior year. This step-by-step guidance empowers students to take control of their academic futures and thrive, no matter what the future brings.Develop skills for a lifetime of success. The College Bound Planner helps teens master skills including note taking, studying, test taking, and writing essays and research papers. Being college ready is also about having life skills such as time management, critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, and communication, as well as the discipline and drive needed to succeed. This college planner is the best college planner to get a teen ready for college.Inside, you’ll find:Academic direction and academic planning tipsGood study skills and life habits to set yourself up to succeedWays to stay organized and how to do proper goal settingGuides to prioritizing your personal goals while participating in extracurricularsHow and when to apply for college using proper college planningWhat to do to get ready for your first day as an undergraduate college studentIf you liked What Color Is Your Parachute?, Fiske Guide to Colleges 2021, or Teens' Guide to College & Career Planning, you’ll love The College Bound Planner.From the book:Welcome to High School! Freshman year kicks off your high school experience and is also the start of your college bound journey. Although college may seem like a long way off and you may not have any idea which college you want to attend, it’s never too early to get ready. So, what does it mean to be college ready? College ready means being successful in high school. Success includes enrolling in a challenging curriculum, working hard, staying focused and earning strong grades. However, high school is about more than attending class and doing homework.Ninth grade is the perfect time to try new things, explore new ideas and see what you enjoy doing. Get involved in your community, both in and out of school. It’s important to find activities which you are genuinely interested in pursuing. Volunteer, join a club, try a new sport, run for student government, sign up for science research, audition for the school theatre group, try mathletes. Once you know what excites you, you can focus on those things that mean the most to you and which you find rewarding later in high school. This is the time to learn and take responsibility for yourself, both academically and personally, and it’s on you to find what motivates and excites you.Your guidance counselor is one of your most important allies. Start by meeting with your counselor to become informed and understand what is required of you to get the most out of high school and be college bound. Learn about your high school’s course offerings and requirements for graduation. Does your school offer honors, Advanced Placement (AP) and/or International Baccalaureate (IB) classes? What are the prerequisites? Is this a path that is right for you? Let your guidance counselor help you decide. Talk to them about your goals so they can help you plan your curriculum and choose the classes most appropriate to meet your needs. Give your guidance counselor the opportunity to get to know you; the better they know you, the more fitting their advice will be.Talk often with your family; they know you best. Keep them in the loop and let them know what’s going on at school, academically and socially. Share your goals and let them help you come up with a plan to find your way to college. Keep your parents up to date with what you learn in any meetings with your guidance counselor. Let them help you navigate any big decisions because everything you do starting in freshman year will impact your college options in senior year. For example, your curriculum, your grades, how hard you pushed yourself academically and your involvement in activities, are all part of who you are and what you'll present to colleges.ContentsChapter 1 Freshman Year: On Your Mark, Get Set, Go!Set Your GoalsMeet Your Guidance CounselorJoin in Extracurricular ActivitiesGet Involved in Activities Outside of SchoolDevelop Good HabitsGet OrganizedBe College BoundChapter 2 Sophomore Year: Dive InMotivate YourselfUnderstand Your Test OptionsGet to Know Your TeachersBuild on Your CredentialsBe OrganizedMeet With Your Guidance CounselorPlan Your SummerChapter 3 Junior Year: Control The ChaosStandardized TestingCollege FairsSchool ResearchMeet with Your Guidance CounselorRequest RecommendationsSave Important WorkWhat Are You Going to do This SummerChapter 4 Senior Year: Write Your StoryGuidance Counselor MeetingApply to CollegeFinancial AidPost Application To-DosChapter 5 Pre-College: Getting ReadyPre-College TasksSummer To-DosAbout the Authors
