[P]rovides fundamental information and a wealth of resources that readers can use to focus on areas of particular interest. Booklist, Starred Review Your Money Mentors offers advice for millennials and their parents on how to succeed in the years post college graduation. Co-written by a millennial, and based on the author's sixty-plus years of experience in finance, the collective advice is full of data, current research, anecdotes, and suggestions regarding mentors, continuing education, internships, careers, starter jobs, setting financial goals, budgeting, and money matters concerning marriage. The book is presented in three parts: Foundations for Success, Careers, and Making Your Money Work. The book features real-life stories of successful millennials in the traditional working world and those who have joined the "gig" economy, by choice, or otherwise. It considers an American school system that has slowly but surely become woefully inadequate in many parts of the country when it comes to preparing our millennial population to succeed in society. With that in mind, it offers concrete advice to help millennials and the generation coming up behind them excel in their futures. Your Money Mentors is an uplifting guidebook for this generation and beyond.
Through investment visa programs administered by US Citizenship and Immigration Services, more than 7,000 families have immigrated to the United States, investing more than three billion dollars over the past twenty-two years. In "Certain Security," author Brian Dickens shares proven tools and strategies families can use to achieve personal and financial security through valuable and little-known programs.

He also discusses choosing a qualified EB-5 investment and introduces his four-step process for successfully navigating US investment visa programs. "Certain Security" examines US Citizenship and Immigration Services and its process for administering visas. Dickens then presents general information relative to taxation and immigrant investment and explores how US companies become eligible to attract these investments. He also shares secrets to identifying qualified service providers to help investors through the investment visa process. Dickens' personal immigration experience with his own family, combined with his clinical expertise from the investment visa industry and general investment and business-development industries, provides insight into these exciting programs from multiple perspectives. "Certain Security" serves as a valuable resource for those who wish to learn about these programs, overcome fear of change, and lead their families to safety and security in the United States.
The aim of this book is to demonstrate that becoming a successful do-it-yourself (DIY) investor is within the reach of almost every person in society. Saving or investing in the stock markets is for everyone - from parents with the children's allowance, to someone who has a lump sum to invest, to the person who has just started working but can save even aC--100 a month, to someone who is free to manage their own pension. Building an asset base from which you can earn income gives you choices later in life. The aim is that, when you close this book, you should be able to implement an easy-to-follow approach to investing in the stock markets, whilst minimising risk. No matter what level of experience you are starting from, this book is aimed at assisting you to obtain the returns on offer from the markets over time. Arming yourself with a proper strategy or plan, which dictates what you buy and when you sell, is the key to stock market investing, and developing one is a good deal easier than you may think. That plan might be simply to invest across the different asset classes where there appears to be clear value on offer; to concentrate on high yielding funds listed on stock markets as a method of generating income, while controlling risk; or to master some successful approach to stock selection. 3 Steps to Investment Success offers an easy-to-follow mechanical approach to selecting a diversified portfolio of stocks from the UK FTSE 100 Index, an index that represents the 100 largest companies listed on the London Stock Exchange by market capitalisation. You will learn also how to invest in the stock market indirectly through listed funds, such as exchange-traded funds and investment companies, which offer instant diversification, allowing you to more easily control risk. And 3 Steps to Investment Success includes a short story, A Villa in the Sun by Virginia Gilbert, a BAFTA-nominated, award-winning writer and director, to drive home the often real consequences of speculating in markets rather than investing.

Many of our global economic problems started in 1971...when President Richard Nixon took the U.S. off the gold standard. Throughout history, when a government went off the gold standard, an age of turbulence began. In 1997, Robert's book Rich Dad Poor Dad stunned readers stating, "Your house is not an asset." As howls of protest went up around the world, the book went on to become an international bestseller and the #1 personal finance book of all time. Rich Dad Poor Dad is not a book on real estate. It is a book about the importance of financial education. Rich Dad Poor Dad was written to prepare you and your loved ones for the financial turbulence Robert's rich dad saw coming. In 2007, as homes declined in value or were lost to foreclosure, millions of homeowners painfully discovered the wisdom of words of Robert's rich dad. Today we are all aware that a home can be a liability. Today we know a home can go up or down in value. Today, we all know a person can lose money investing in the stock market. Today we all know our money can go down in value and that even savers can be losers. This is why financial intelligence is more important today than ever before. In a world of financial turbulence, your best asset is financial IQ.
*One of Glamour's Best Books of 2020* Popular podcast host and personal finance expert Lindsay Goldwert explores what professional dominatrixes can teach us about confidence, power, and happiness. Imagine, for a moment, a world where the usual power dynamic is turned on its head. Where women not only stop apologizing, but seize-and enjoy-control. This is the quickly mainstreaming world of BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism)-and it has a lot to teach women about empowerment, negotiation, open-mindedness, and more. Journalist Lindsay Goldwert, intrigued by this seismic cultural shift, traveled across the United States to meet the stars of the subculture, who spoke frankly with her about their lives and work. In this "lively, funny, thoughtful channeling of wisdom" (Sara Benincasa, author of Real Artists Have Day Jobs), these Alpha women show you how you can reset the power dynamic in any situation to get what you want-whether it's from a husband, a boss, or partner. They share strategies for revolutionizing not only your sex life, but your career, your relationships, and most importantly, your inner foundations. With bondage gear popping up on the big screen, the runway, the red carpet, and in celebrity lingerie lines, BDSM is officially moving out of the dungeon and into the sun. Let Bow Down help you learn how to use it. "Whether your fantasies lie in the bedroom or the boardroom, Lindsay will give you the courage to go forth and dominate." (Sarah Cooper, author of How to Be Successful without Hurting Men's Feelings).
