Blending humour and behavioural economics, the New York Times bestselling author of Predictably Irrational delves into the truly illogical world of personal finance to help people better understand why they make bad financial decisions, and gives them the knowledge they need to make better ones. Why does paying for things often feel like it causes physical pain? Why does it cost you money to act as your own real estate agent? Why are we comfortable overpaying for something now just because we've overpaid for it before? In Small Change, world renowned economist Dan Ariely answers these intriguing questions and many more as he explains how our irrational behaviour often interferes with our best intentions when it comes to managing our finances. Partnering with financial comedian and writer Jeff Kreisler, Ariely takes us deep inside our minds to expose the hidden motivations that are secretly driving our choices about money. Exploring a wide range of everyday topics - from credit card debt and household budgeting to holiday sales - Ariely and Kreisler demonstrate how our ideas about dollars and cents are often wrong and cost us more than we know. Mixing case studies and anecdotes with tangible advice and lessons, they cut through the unconscious fears and desires driving our worst financial instincts and teach us how to improve our money habits. Fascinating, engaging, funny and essential, Small Change is a sound investment, providing us with the practical tools we need to understand and improve our financial choices, save and spend smarter and ultimately live better. Published in the US as Dollars and Sense.

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.

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.

"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.
