If you are at or near retirement, how certain are you that you won't outlive your assets? Until recently, a high percentage of middle-income people reaching retirement could look forward to maintaining their lifestyles with a combination of Social Security, company pensions, and small amounts of savings. Now, middle-income people reaching retirement will be dependent upon receiving lifetime income from their savings and/or a lump sum distribution from a company pension plan.

In "Investing for Income," author and retired financial advisor Curtis Bryant offers this sourcebook of ideas for financial advisors and those nearing retirement. He provides information and ideas regarding the various concepts, products, and services that may help maximize income and assure that it's adequate for a lifetime. He shows that proper use of stocks, real estate, and insurance products can enhance your income, provide growth to offset inflation, and increase your ability to survive and prosper in any market, while reducing your overall risk.

"Investing for Income" is geared toward the middle-income earner who wishes to have a secure retirement. In this new financial world, retirees need to be concerned about outliving their money rather than leaving all they have to the next generation.

No-one deserves to be a millionaire. Not even you.

We all notice when the poor get poorer: when there are more rough sleepers and food bank queues start to grow. But if the rich become richer, there is nothing much to see in public and, for most of us, daily life doesn't change. Or at least, not immediately.

In this astonishing, eye-opening intervention, world-leading philosopher and economist Ingrid Robeyns exposes the true extent of our wealth problem, which has spent the past fifty years silently spiralling out of control. In moral, political, economic, social, environmental and psychological terms, she shows, extreme wealth is not only unjustifiable but harmful to us all - the rich included.

In place of our current system, Robeyns offers a breathtakingly clear alternative: limitarianism. The answer to so many of the problems posed by neoliberal capitalism - and the opportunity for a vastly better world - lies in placing a hard limit on the wealth that any one person can accumulate. Because nobody deserves to be a millionaire. Not even you.

Broken down into short chapters and written in an easy-to-understand style, this financial guide is a compilation of Upton's favorite columns written over the course of thirty years. You'll read about free enterprise and capitalism, see how taxes affect different investments, and travel through Europe to compare socialism and capitalism. You'll even learn simple techniques to make a retirement fund last, often factually and amusingly explained by Upton's "stubby-pencil" economist, Buster Boom.

Enjoyable, entertaining, and educational.

"As a practitioner and as a widely-read columnist, Upton brings a wealth of personal experience to his task. His knowledge of the financial world and his ability to communicate simply and clearly make this an important book for those who take investing seriously."
-John W. Bachmann, senior partner, Edward Jones

"Bob Upton explains the basics of building wealth. At Louisiana College, he was a favorite with students. He taught time-tested fundamentals. Bob's insight and experience help investors assume greater responsibility for their financial security."
-Roger W. Best, Ph.D. professor emeritus, Louisiana College; dean and provost retired, Northwestern State University of Louisiana

"BARRON'S" reviewed his earlier book, "Mutual Fund Magic": "Upton does an admirable job of explaining investment principles in easy-to-understand language." (August 13, 1990)

In this fascinating book, Eleanor Tucker sets out a bold vision of how sustainable sharing can save us money, and lead to a happier future. What is the Sharing Economy? How can it help us live more affordable, more sustainable, and ultimately more fulfilling lives?  What would happen if for one year a family pledged to share as much as they possibly can? Instead ofowning more and more stuff, what it’s like to stop owning things and borrow, lend, rent and swap instead? These are big questions, but features writer Eleanor Tucker sets out to answer them in this thoroughly absorbing and entertaining guide to sustainable sharing, or as it is also known, 'collaborative consumption'. In this engrossing study, Eleanor straps us into on her year-long experiment along with her somewhat reluctant family. Over the course of the year, with the aid of various sharing apps, they will pledge to buy as few new things as possible, instead relying on the power of sharing, lending, renting and borrowing to supply their needs. Each chapter introduces a different type of sharing into her day to day life, from the little ‘things' (food, clothes) to the bigger ’things' (cars, furniture, the space around us), and shows how the growth of tech has revolutionized an age-old practice.  The book contains best-for recommendations based around different types of sharing, to create an easily accessible shortcut into sharing. Written with warm and relatable humour as well as a deeply-researched knowledge of the history of sharing, this unmissable guide could truly change the way you consume.

For each type of institution, the business model, organizational structure, products, challenges, regulatory issues, and profit-making opportunities are explained.

According to author J. F. Swartz, we are all victims of a crime. Bankers and politicians have already stolen our standard of living, even though we may not realize it yet. They are destroying the purchasing power of our dollars by the unprecedented creation of money by the Federal Reserve. Central banks the world over are printing more money than ever before, making the situation even worse.

"Theft of the American Dream" leads us through the maze of deception in an easy-to-read, irreverent, yet insightful style, while explaining the structural flaws in the US financial system and how these flaws could soon destroy unwitting middle class Americans. Swartz provides practical steps to take to defend ourselves against the monetary and fiscal actions taken by our leaders. He also exposes the truth about who really benefits from the outrageous money printing and other experiments enacted by the Federal Reserve, as well as what the profligate money creation can do to the prices of the things citizens need most.

As distressing and depressing as the truth is regarding the ongoing, systemic failure of the US dollar-and with it the US financial system-there is certainly a way out for those who prepare correctly. "Theft of the American Dream" presents financial defenses and investment strategies that offer the best hope for protecting our purchasing power in the period directly ahead.
