Are you a high net worth individual? Then the wealth management
rules are different for you. Mark Tepper rightly assures us that we
should all consider ourselves wealthy if we have the resources to
live the lives we want to live without compromise. However, if you
fall into one of his higher-net-worth categories, you will find
that Exceptional Wealth is speaking directly to you. Tepper, author
of the acclaimed Walk Away Wealthy , stresses that if you are
someone with a high net worth, you have to realize that managing
your wealth is complex. He clearly outlines key steps and
sophisticated strategies that experienced professional financial
advisors should be implementing for you. Each high net worth
individual has unique and different forms of wealth, investments,
and objectives. Consequently, individual and special family needs
demand specifically tailored financial plans and approaches. Good
investment management might have made you wealthy, but Tepper
solidly brings home the point that only proper wealth management
will keep you wealthy. Those whose wealth exceeds $1,000,000 will
likely benefit most from the keys and myths that Tepper outlines,
but this book is relevant for anyone looking to take the next step
in wealth accumulation and preservation. The bottom line, as Tepper
advises, is the following: Prosperous individuals require a higher
level of sophistication when it comes to optimizing their financial
affairs.
Tales from Albarado revisits times of excitement and loss in early
1990s Albania, in which about a dozen pyramid firms collapsed and
caused the country to fall into anarchy and a near civil war. To
gain a better understanding of how people from all walks of life
came to invest in these financial schemes and how these schemes
became intertwined with everyday transactions, dreams, and
aspirations, Smoki Musaraj looks at the materiality, sociality, and
temporality of financial speculations at the margins of global
capital. She argues that the speculative financial practices of the
schemes were enabled by official financial infrastructures (such as
the postsocialist free-market reforms), by unofficial economies
(such as transnational remittances), as well as by historically
specific forms of entrepreneurship, transnational social networks,
and desires for a European modernity. Overall, these granular
stories of participation in the Albanian schemes help understand
neoliberal capitalism as a heterogeneous economic formation that
intertwines capitalist and noncapitalist forms of accumulation and
investment.
You don't need to be university educated, have money, be creative,
or even have an idea to get rich. You just need to be willing to
break the rules. How to be a Capitalist Without Any Capital will
teach you how to be a modern opportunist - investor, entrepreneur,
or side hustler - by breaking these four golden rules of the old
guard: 1. Focus on one skill: Wrong. Don't cultivate one great
skill to get ahead. In today's business world, success goes to the
multitaskers. 2. Be unique: Wrong. The way to get rich is not by
launching a new idea but by aggressively copying others and then
adding your own twist. 3. Focus on one goal: Wrong. Focus instead
on creating a system to produce the outcome you want, not just
once, but over and over again. 4. Appeal to the masses: Wrong. The
masses are broke ($4k average net worth in America?). Let others
cut a trail through the jungle so you can peacefully walk in and
capitalize on their hard work. By rejecting these defunct rules and
following Nathan Latka's unconventional path, you can copy other
people's ideas shamelessly, bootstrap a start-up with almost no
funding, invest in small local businesses for huge payoffs, and
reap all the benefits.
How would you like to increase the amount of money you have to
spare without doing any extra work? So much of what we hear about
personal finance is confusing, time-consuming or a lot of hassle.
Here, the authors promise that with some very small, simple changes
to how you manage your money, you can vastly improve your financial
outlook. Each chapter covers a single common personal finance
topic, and explains how you can make better choices in this area,
the amount you can expect to save over a year, the time it will
take to follow the tip, and a star rating for the complexity or
'hassle factor' (one star being the easiest and fastest, five stars
requiring the most commitment). Personal finance experts Charlie
Weston and Karl Deeter see every day how too many of us pay over
the odds, get ripped off or simply don't maximise the money we
have. Here they share all the money-saving tips and tricks they
have garnered over the years. It may seem hard to believe, but each
chapter has a value, and if you were to use them all to their
fullest extent, this book can save you up to EURO25,000.

Shortly after most novice traders discover how trading works and
begin to realize that they have the potential to make unlimited
amounts of money in the financial markets, they start dreaming the
near-impossible dream. They fantasize about buying that condo in
Boca Raton for their parents or surprising their son with a
brand-new car on his 16th birthday. They even begin to imagine
themselves opening their own trading firm or milling about the pit
of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, lobbying against other
professional traders for the perfect entry into a
once-in-a-lifetime trade. But then ... they watch the markets lurch
in wildly unpredictable ways, lose their shirts in a few live
trades, and then freeze in their tracks, wondering if they will
ever be able to consistently trade in a manner that can even
loosely be defined as "profitable." To be sure, becoming a
full-time, professional trader, working at a proprietary trading
firm, or managing the trading activity of a hedge fund may sound
like the perfect career, but it's all too easy for beginner traders
to overestimate their trading abilities, underestimate the
movements of the markets, and find themselves in a financial hole
of epic proportions after a few bad trades. So what does it really
take to make a living in the markets? Tim Bourquin, co-founder of
Traders Expo and the Forex Trading Expo and founder of
TraderInterviews.com, and freelance writer and editor Nick Mango
set out to answer that exact question in Traders at Work, a unique
collection of over 20 interviews with some of the world's most
successful professional traders, from at-home hobbyists who have
opened their own firms to those working at hedge funds, on
proprietary trading desks, and in exchange pits. What mistakes did
Anne-Marie Baiynd make early in her career? What does Michael Toma
wish he had known about trading? What trading strategies work best
for Linda Raschke? How does John Carter remain cool, calm, and
collected when the markets are sending mixed signals? And how did
Todd Gordon make the transition from part-time to full-time trader?
Bourquin and Mango ask all of these questions and more in Traders
at Work and in doing so reveal insider insights on what it takes to
be a successful trader from those who are living that dream.
Fascinating, compelling, and filled with never-before-told stories
from the front lines of the trading arena, Traders at Work is
required reading for anyone who has ever asked themselves if they
have what it takes to trade for a living.

'Making money is a knack, a knack that can be acquired. And if
someone like me can become rich, then so can you - no matter what
your present circumstances. Here is how I did it and what I learned
along the way.' So writes Felix Dennis, who believes that almost
anyone of reasonable intelligence can become rich, given sufficient
motivation and application. How To Get Rich is a distillation of
his business wisdom. Primarily concerned with the step-by-step
creation of wealth, it ruthlessly dissects the business failures
and financial triumphs of 'a South London lad who became rich
virtually by accident'. Part manual, part memoir, part primer, this
book is a template for those who are willing to stare down failure
and transform their lives. Canny, infuriating, cynical and generous
by turns, How To Get Rich is an invaluable guide to 'the
surprisingly simple art of collecting money which already has your
name on it'.
Who knew frugality could be so much fun? Australians are amongst

“Navigating Success” (published by Authoritize) has been
written with entrepreneurs in mind. “The book is utterly
practical“ she says. “I built a million-pound business from
scratch and experience has taught me that anyone who possesses the
right qualities and adopts a ‘wealth mindset’ can succeed.”
As a family therapist, psychologist, and author, Natalia Kobylkina
has gained international fame. Throughout her career, she has
helped people from over 150 countries. This won her the award
“Most Influential Person on Social Media for 2018.” Now in
living in London, Natalia has recognised that there is a huge need
to help women reflect on their current attitudes towards money,
eliminate beliefs and behaviours that no longer serve their
financial success. It might be that money is not the real problem,
but our attitude towards it.
Endowed with the authority to enforce justice, government is a
necessary prerequisite to human flourishing. Citizens rightfully
bear the responsibility to contribute to the existence of just
government through the rendering of taxes. Because tax policy is
also a reflection of values, citizens in a democratic society
should be concerned with how taxes are collected and spent. In Real
Tax Burden: More than Dollars and Cents, Alan Viard and Alex Brill
explain everything you need to know to understand taxes in America
today. The authors describe who pays what and why, the implications
of the current system, and provide a vision for reform that is
simple, effective, and consistent with our values.
