Book Description
Over the last three decades, debt, bankruptcy, and home foreclosures have risen to epidemic levels. To make matters worse, the personal savings rate is at its lowest point since the Great Depression. Why, in the richest nation on earth, can't Americans hold on to our money? Winner of the prestigious William James Book Award for Believing in Magic and an authority on irrational behavior, Stuart Vyse offers a unique psychological perspective on the financial behavior of the many Americans today who find they cannot make ends meet, illuminating the causes of our wildly self-destructive spending habits. But unlike other authors, he doesn't entirely blame the victim. Bringing together fascinating studies of consumer behavior, he argues that the mountain of debt burying so many of us is the inevitable byproduct of America's turbo-charged economy and, in particular, of social and technological trends that undermine our self-control. Going Broke illuminates everything from the rise of the credit card, to the increase in state lotteries and casino gambling, to the expansion of new shopping opportunities provided by toll-free numbers, home shopping networks, big-box stores, and the Internet, revealing how vast changes in American society over the last 30 years have greatly complicated our relationship with money. Vyse concludes both with personal advice for the individual who wants to achieve greater financial stability and with pointed recommendations for economic and social change that will help promote the financial health of all Americans. Engagingly written, with startling insights into modern consumerism and with poignant human-interest stories of people facing financial failure, Going Broke offers a provocative new perspective on American economic behavior that is likely to stir controversy and serious debate.

Never Get a "Real" Job

Author: Scott Gerber
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470643862
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 276

Book Description
Young serial entrepreneur Scott Gerber is not the product of a wealthy family or storied entrepreneurial heritage. Nor is he the outcome of a traditional business school education or a corporate executive turned entrepreneur. Rather, he is a hard-working, self-taught 26-year-old hustler, rainmaker, and bootstrapper who has survived and thrived despite never having held the proverbial "real” job. In Never Get a "Real" Job: How to Dump Your Boss, Build a Business, and Not Go Broke, Gerber challenges the social conventions behind the "real" job and empowers young people to take control of their lives and dump their nine-to-fives—or their quest to attain them. Drawing upon case studies, experiences, and observations, Scott dissects failures, shares hard-learned lessons, and presents practical, affordable, and systematic action steps to building, managing, and marketing a successful business on a shoestring budget. The proven, no-b.s. methodology presented in Never Get a "Real" Job teaches unemployed and underemployed Gen-Yers, aspiring small business owners, students, and recent college graduates how to quit 9-to-5s, become their own bosses, and achieve financial independence.

Book Description
Learning from your mistakes makes you smart. Learning from other people’s mistakes makes you a genius. There are two ways to share knowledge, you can push information out or you can pull them in with story. A good story well told, can change the world. After 25 years in the trenches working with thousands of individuals and small business owners, John MacGregor opens the vault on 10 incredible stories that have the power to transform your financial life forever. In this book MacGregor reveals 10 real-life stories of people he encountered who had everythng and lost it all. It is here, MacGreogor reveals for the first time “The B.E.A.R Trap”, THE four underlying reasons why so many people go and stay broke. Using jaw dropping stories, this book answers and solves why: • 78% of people are living paycheck to paycheck • 65% of people could not come up with $400 today for an emergency expense • Why money is the #1 source of stress in our society • AND, why this problem is getting worse – not better - despite the thousands of how-to-books, DVD, and online resources available. Unlike the thousands of traditional “how-to” personal finance books that use traditional methods that rarely elicit change in people, these stories elicit something deep within the reader that allows people to make meaningful transformations in their life. The BEAR Trap formula is not only effective in your financial decision making, you can use it anywhere in your life to avoid painful outcomes and pitfalls. Though this is about the rich going broke, the amount of money doesn’t matter as everyone of these stories can pertain to you and your family
