expanded to include investors throughout the English-speaking world

and sequence of returns risk on your retirement income portfolio *

products * Measure and maximize your Retirement Sustainability

Wall Street Journal BESTSELLER New York Times bestselling author of
Rich Bitch and renowned money expert Nicole Lapin makes investing
accessible and fun so women can make bank and become Miss
Independent. You've worked hard for your money and now it's time
for your money to work for you. You will never earn or budget your
way into real wealth. Growing your money significantly doesn't
require starting with a lot of money. It requires a little bit of
knowledge about taking smart risks and as much time as possible to
take advantage of the glorious power of compound interest, which
Einstein refers to as the eighth wonder of the world. From
automating your savings to easy, no-stress investing strategies,
Nicole will teach you how to take your financial knowledge and
portfolio to the next level and start you on your journey to your
ultimate destination: true financial independence. In Miss
Independent, you will learn: The freedom that wealth affords you,
whether it's the ability to leave a crappy job or significant
other, go on the vacation of your dreams or otherwise live life on
your own terms. The best method for establishing your "number"-the
amount of wealth you want to accumulate before you retire-and
getting it. The meaning of the most common investing terms, like
stocks and bonds, (and some more exotic ones like REITs or
cryptocurrency) and how to make them work to your advantage. The
ins and outs of big financial decisions and concepts, like taking
out a mortgage, owning investment properties, and buying life
insurance. Miss Independent takes the fear out of money management
and investing once and for all. Using her own vulnerable stories
and her signature conversational style, let Nicole show you all the
different ways and paths that you can take to become financially
free at last.

in crisis. And there are two sides to every crisis, be it a
leadership crisis, an economic crisis, an education crisis or a
moral crisis. The two side to crisis are danger and opportunity.
Robert Kiyosaki's new book, Second Chance...for Your Money and Your
Life, uses the lessons from the past and a brutal assessment of the
present to prepare readers to see----and seize----the future. If
readers can train their minds to see what their eyes cannot, in a
world that is becoming increasingly more 'invisible' and moving at
a high rate of speed, they can have a second chance at creating the
life they've always wanted. The global problems we face cannot be
solved by the same minds and people who created them and today's
world demands the ability to see the future and prepare for what
lies ahead...prepare for the opportunities as well as the
challenges. Like it or not, we are all involved in the greatest
evolutionary event in human history. The Industrial Age is over and
the Information Age continues to accelerate. The visible agents of
change have become invisible...and harder to see. And the future
belongs to those who can train their minds, use the past to see the
future, and take the steps to create the positive change they want
to see in their lives. Second Chance is a guide to understanding
how the past will shape the future and how you can use Information
Age tools and insights to create a fresh start. This book is a
guide to facing head-on the dangers of the crises around us--and
steps and tips for seizing the opportunities they present.

Do Millionaires Really Make Mistakes? We're all fascinated by the
brilliant entrepreneur who hits it big with the latest and greatest
new idea. We're captivated by the amazing inspiration, the stunning
growth, and finally, the huge profit. But what happens when huge
risks and unforeseen pitfalls take enterprises down and ruin
fortunes in a flash? The fall from the top is painful and
inglorious. CEO coach, author, and speaker Harry Clark and the
thirty ultimately successful entrepreneurs he interviewed for
Mistakes Millionaires Make know that terrible fate all too well.
They lived it. And they recount their experiences - involving
losses from ten million to two hundred million dollars - and the
catastrophic effects those losses had on them and their families.
Whether you're a family-business owner or an investor, involved in
a huge enterprise or the pizza shop around the corner, Clark's
informative and often shocking accounts of entrepreneurial missteps
will provide you with key insights into where these thought leaders
went wrong, what they learned, and how they got back on their feet
again. CEOs and their teams and families, business leaders,
entrepreneurs, and anyone involved in a business of any type or
size will benefit from the compelling interviews and the lessons
learned about the pitfalls that snagged others. Mistakes
Millionaires Make stands apart from the rest with its
fortune-saving recommendations and insights into the risks that all
entrepreneurs face every day. Even if you don't have millions,
you'll walk away with practical advice for avoiding failure and
living a better financial future in whatever business venture you
undertake.
If you are a young person, and you work hard enough, you can get a
college degree and set yourself on the path to a good life, right?
Not necessarily, says Sara Goldrick-Rab, and with Paying the Price,
she shows in damning detail exactly why. Quite simply, college is
far too expensive for many people today, and the confusing mix of
federal, state, institutional, and private financial aid leaves
countless students without the resources they need to pay for it.
Drawing on an unprecedented study of 3,000 young adults who entered
public colleges and universities in Wisconsin in 2008 with the
support of federal aid and Pell Grants, Goldrick-Rab reveals the
devastating effect of these shortfalls. Half the students in the
study left college without a degree, while less than 20 percent
finished within five years. The cause of their problems, time and
again, was lack of money. Unable to afford tuition, books, and
living expenses, they worked too many hours at outside jobs,
dropped classes, took time off to save money, and even went without
adequate food or housing. In many heartbreaking cases, they simply
left school--not with a degree, but with crippling debt.
Goldrick-Rab combines that shocking data with devastating stories
of six individual students, whose struggles make clear the
horrifying human and financial costs of our convoluted financial
aid policies. America can fix this problem. In the final section of
the book, Goldrick-Rab offers a range of possible solutions, from
technical improvements to the financial aid application process, to
a bold, public sector-focused "first degree free" program. What's
not an option, this powerful book shows, is doing nothing, and
continuing to crush the college dreams of a generation of young
people.

Look around you - what do you see? You may discover to your
surprise that the people who are most at peace with money are the
ones who walk nimbly between having too little and having too much.
They have found a balance between indulgence and austerity; between
success and happiness; between motivation and inspiration; and
between any number of other poles we tend to think of as either/or
choices, but which in reality are simply posts on either side of a
doorway through which we must pass. For many of us the subject of
money is unavoidably stressful. Managing our personal finances is
complicated, time consuming and often, particularly in the slow
countdown to pay day, dispiriting. The good news is that in Japan -
where a Zen approach to life is more widely practiced - a pathway
to a better relationship with money is being carved, by Ken Honda.
This beautifully written book will reinvent the way you see your
personal finances. You will come to understand that money flows
like water and arrives like a guest. You'll rethink your own
attitudes and examine the way they were shaped by beliefs about
money you were taught as a child. When we heal the fear and anxiety
we have about money, we successfully achieve prosperity and peace.
Take the zen path to financial security and happiness.
When millions are struggling to pay bills and student loans, and
millions more are displaced from jobs, "truthenomics" offers a
dynamic blueprint to change the way we look at, pursue, and
accumulate true wealth and authentic happiness. For many years,
Gerard Powell was living the "American Dream"-he was a
multi-millionaire who had it all. Deep down, he knew something was
missing. The more he achieved, the more he fell into depression.
Through a personal crisis, struggling with drugs, alcoholism and
thoughts of suicide, he began a journey of self-transformation and
healing which culminated in the creation of the Rythmia Life
Advancement Center which has helped transform the lives of nearly
10,000 people. In his second thought-provoking guide, he reveals
the life-changing principles of "truthenomics"--that true
wealth-building must combine two elements: your personal truth with
personal finance. True wealth-building involves self-discovery, and
is more about what's imprinted on your soul than what's printed on
your bank statement. Readers will learn: Why a problematic
relationship with money can be an expression of traumatic events in
early in life-and how to resolve them The money paradox--why many
people hold unconscious conflicts about money from childhood How to
be sure your understanding of money will bring authentic happiness
and not a momentary fix How to raise your daily happiness set point
How to fall forward from financial hardships How to harness the 4
Circles of growth to manifest your true heart's desire By fusing
ancient wisdom and modern techniques, Powell helps readers create
the lives that will truly make them whole. Introduction One: No
Expectations Two: The Universal System Three: Who You Were, Who You
Are Four: Through the Looking Glass Five: To Get Where You Want to
Go, Know Where You Are Six: What You Want, and Why Seven: The
Vehicle Will Appear Eight: Faster or Slower? Nine: Waiting Is the
Hardest Part
