We all want to live in comfort, free from financial worries, and able to acquire all we want and need. Yet only a selected few are granted this wish. They are the elite group of individuals who have a much higher income than their basic needs. The question is: What can you do to join their ranks and achieve your own personal economic nirvana? M. L. Marcos explores that question and many others in this business guide to building wealth. Learn how to: identify what successful people are doing; question your place in the world; avoid waiting for things to happen; and minimize uncertainties to build wealth. Our lives were not laid out by a computer programmer who drew a biological flowchart that will only produce a positive result. If that were the case, we would all be living prosperous and productive lives. You should not live another day living a life that is less than the one you deserve. Identify the steps to unlock the doors that few dare to open with the lessons in If Money Could Talk.

If you're like most Canadians, divorce, blended families, market meltdowns, children who don't leave home (or who come back with babies in tow), health challenges, real estate mistakes, golden handshakes -- just to name a few -- have left you wondering just what exactly you're supposed to do next, this book is for you. In my 12 years of advising Canadians on the straightest path to prosperity, I've discovered that most books about money are about just that -- money. And that there isn't really a book about life and how money fits into it. That's why I decided to write one. I've organized the book by what might be happening in your life and how you can handle the money decisions that impact it. Therefore, if you've not experienced divorce, there's probably no need to read that chapter. Feel free to graze for the topics that mean the most to you. But don't miss the chapters "One Tick Box Can Change your Life" and "The Bucket system for Retirement." They are truly universal.

In case you've ever wondered, the walls at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue have eyes and ears -- and, what's more, they don't miss a thing. Now, listen up because the walls have a thing or two to tell you! During President John Tyler's presidency, the White House was such a mess that it was called the "Public Shabby House." President William Howard Taft was so large that he had to have a jumbo-size bathtub installed -- one big enough for four people. President Andrew Jackson's "open door" policy at the White House resulted in 20,000 people showing up for his inauguration party. (The new president escaped to the quiet of a nearby hotel!) President Abraham Lincoln didn't mind at all that his younger sons, Tad and Willie, kept pet goats in their White House bedrooms. Children all across the country sent in their own money to build an indoor swimming pool for wheelchair-bound President Franklin D. Roosevelt so that he could exercise. President Harry S. Truman knew it was time to renovate the White House after a leg on his daughter's piano broke right through the floor. Hear these funny, surprising stories and more about the most famous home in America and the extraordinary families who have lived in it.

The world of money is being transformed as households and organizations face changing economies, and new currencies and payment systems like Bitcoin and Apple Pay gain ground. What is money, and how do we make sense of it? Money Talks is the first book to offer a wide range of alternative and unexpected explanations of how social relations, emotions, moral concerns, and institutions shape how we create, mark, and use money. This collection brings together a stellar group of international experts from multiple disciplines—sociology, economics, history, law, anthropology, political science, and philosophy—to propose fresh explanations for money's origins, uses, effects, and future. Money Talks explores five key questions: How do social relationships, emotions, and morals shape how people account for and use their money? How do corporations infuse social meaning into their financing and investment practices? What are the historical, political, and social foundations of currencies? When does money become contested, and are there things money shouldn't buy? What is the impact of the new twenty-first-century currencies on our social relations? At a time of growing concern over financial inequality, Money Talks overturns conventional views about money by revealing its profound social potential.

Marsha Recknagel's memoir begins with the surprise appearance of her 16-year-old nephew, Jamie, who arrives on her doorstep and into her ordered, childless life. Fleeing a chaotic home run by Marsha's unstable younger brother and his wife, Jamie is an ominous creature-and the center of an ongoing family tug-of-war.
