We are hard-wired to believe that the world is more predictable
than it is. We chase 'winning streaks' that are often just
illusions, and we are all too predictable exactly when we try
hardest not to be. In the 1970s, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky
coined the phrase 'representativeness' to describe the psychology
of this behaviour. Since then representativeness has been used by
auditors to catch people fiddling their tax returns and by hedge
fund managers to reap billions from the emotions of small
investors. Now Poundstone for the first time makes these techniques
fun, easy, and profitable for everyone, in the everyday situations
that matter. You'll learn how to tackle multiple choice tests, what
internet passwords to avoid, how to up your odds of winning the
office Premier League sweepstakes, and the best ways to invest your
money.
Get rich slowly Financial independence is a marathon, not a sprint.
The financial crisis revealed the hazards of financial illiteracy.
Governments desperately want citizens to become financially
independent so they'll be less of a burden on them. Findependence
Day presents personal finance in a "can't put down" story format
easily digested by young adults entering the work force and the
world of money. Because money problems often cause marital
breakups, it focuses on the financial journey of a young couple who
experience the usual ups and downs of job loss, buying homes,
raising children, investing and pensions, starting businesses,
coping with stock market volatility and more. The secrets of
financial independence are critical wherever you are in the
financial life cycle: Newlyweds embarking on family formation will
discover the importance of financial planning. Debt-plagued
graduates will be motivated to embrace "guerrilla frugality."
Home-owners will learn the foundation of financial independence is
a paid-for home. Those in their first jobs will embrace employer
401(k) plans, traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. New parents will
discover the need for life insurance and saving for children's
education. Mid-life investors will learn how to cut costs in their
portfolios while benefiting from the expertise of financial
planners. Those near retirement will learn about advanced concepts
like annuities and Asset Dedication. Jonathan Chevreau is the
editor of MoneySense magazine, former personal finance columnist
for the Financial Post and author of nine financial books,
including The Wealthy Boomer: Life After Mutual Funds. He's active
in social media and blogs at www.findependenceday.com. "Once in a
blue moon, a financial book is written that should be required
reading for all. Such is the case with Findependence Day." -- Peter
Grandich, The Grandich Letter "A tour de force: a personal-finance
book that is hard to put down." - Larry MacDonald,
CanadianBusiness.com "Having some fun while learning what's good
for you is a double win -- particularly learning what we all need
to know to live happier lives." - Charles Ellis, author of Winning
the Loser's Game This revised all-American edition features
end-of-chapter summaries of financial concepts learned, a glossary
and bibliography of books that will boost your financial literacy -
or that of your kids.

toward making the changes necessary for financial success whether
you need to start your wealth building straggly or improve your
established portfolio.
Just one simple idea could save you hundreds or even thousands of
dollars over a life time. This is an idea book that will inspire
you to look at your surroundings a little differently. The author's
challenge is to give you enough choices to get two or three ideas
to jump off the pages and grab you. Some of these choices are
really stupid and some are absolutely brilliant. You probably have
some better ideas you can share with the authors for their next
book. The first person to give the authors a new idea used in the
next book gets $50 per idea used.
