Playing with FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early): How Far Would You Go for Financial Freedom?
By Scott Rieckens, Mr Money Mustache. 2019
What if a happier life was only a few simple choices away? A successful entrepreneur living in Southern California, Scott…
Rieckens had built a “dream life”: a happy marriage, a two-year-old daughter, a membership to a boat club, and a BMW in the driveway. But underneath the surface, Scott was creatively stifled, depressed, and overworked trying to help pay for his family’s beach-town lifestyle. Then one day, Scott listened to a podcast interview that changed everything. Five months later, he had quit his job, convinced his family to leave their home, and cut their expenses in half. Follow Scott and his family as they devote everything to FIRE (financial independence retire early), a subculture obsessed with maximizing wealth and happiness. Filled with inspiring case studies and powerful advice, Playing with FIRE is one family’s journey to acquire the one thing that money can’t buy: a simpler — and happier — life. Based on the documentaryBad with Money: The Imperfect Art of Getting Your Financial Sh*t Together
By Gaby Dunn. 2019
“Humorous and forthright...[Gaby] Dunn makes facing money issues seem not only palatable but possibly even fun....Dunn’s book delivers.” —Publishers Weekly…
The beloved writer-comedian expands on her popular podcast with an engaging and empowering financial literacy book for Millennials and Gen Z. In the first episode of her “Bad With Money” podcast, Gaby Dunn asked patrons at a coffee shop two questions: First, what’s your favorite sex position? Everyone was game to answer, even the barista. Then, she asked how much money was in their bank accounts. People were aghast. “That’s a very personal question,” they insisted. And therein lies the problem. Dunn argues that our inability to speak honestly about money is our #1 barrier to understanding it, leading us to feel alone, ashamed and anxious, which in turns makes us feel even more overwhelmed by it. In Bad With Money, she reveals the legitimate, systemic reasons behind our feeling of helplessness when it comes to personal finance, demystifying the many signposts on the road to getting our financial sh*t together, like how to choose an insurance plan or buy a car, sign up for a credit card or take out student loans. She speaks directly to her audience, offering advice on how to make that #freelancelyfe work for you, navigate money while you date, and budget without becoming a Nobel-winning economist overnight. Even a topic as notoriously dry as money becomes hilarious and engaging in the hands of Dunn, who weaves her own stories with the perspectives of various comedians, artists, students, and more, arguing that—even without selling our bodies to science or suffering the indignity of snobby thrift shop buyers—we can all start taking control of our financial futures.The 30-Day Money Cleanse: Take control of your finances, manage your spending, and de-stress your money for good

cidadão anónimo, empresa, governo central, regional, autarquia. A realidade não mudou muito quando comparada com o século XIX, altura em que esta obra foi publicada pela primeira vez. Este é um manual com a caraterização dos vários tipos de dívida e com exemplos práticos de como, por exemplo, contornar as visitas desagradáveis dos seus credores. Um espelho da sociedade de outros tempos que bem poderia ser o nosso. «O credor número três (o proprietário da casa, por exemplo) vem fazer-lhe uma visita, e aproveita esta ocasião para apresentar-lhe a fatura do aluguer. Olhe-o com um ar indeciso, acompanhado por um: É impossível! Ele afirma-lhe o contrário. Um homem sem aprumo discutiria com ele em relação ao valor do aluguer ou por uns dias de compreensão. Um homem que tem aprumo responde decidido: Oh, não! Resumindo, graças ao aprumo, você domina a confiança, dá a imagem de um homem decidido e prudente.»Genesis Financial Coach's Manual

if you’ve got debt, life has happened to you.

After working with thousands of financial planning clients, Shannon Lee Simmons knows that your only way out of the debt cycle is to truly understand all of your spending triggers so you can shut them down for good. In Living Debt-Free, she shows you that it is possible to have a life and pay down debt at the same time. In fact, that’s the only way your debt plan will work. You will learn to take control of your finances and pay down your debt in a realistic way that will keep you motivated long enough to see it through to the end. No shame. No blame. No scare tactics.In Living Debt-Free, Simmons focuses on creating a debt repayment plan that will motivate you for a long time, rather than an unrealistic one that’s strictly about paying the least amount of interest charges.
