Portraits of Childfree Wealth
Have you ever wondered what people without children do with all their free time and money? Do you assume that they must have a lot of both? The truth is more complex than that! Childfree people come from as many different backgrounds and life circumstances as people with children do. Some are partnered, and some are not. Some are well-educated, some aren't. Some are independently wealthy, and some are just scraping by. Dr. Zigmont's "Portraits of Childfree Wealth" is a collection of 26 vignettes based on interviews with Childfree people. He adds his own significant insights, as both a fellow Childfree professional and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER(TM). This book is an eye-opening look at the lives of people in the United States who deliberately chose not to become parents, and if you're in the same boat, you'll find a lot to relate to here. If you have children, you'll learn how the other half lives. And if you're a finance professional, you'll see how money still plays a role for people who don't have to worry about leaving assets to their children. Childfree individuals are an underrepresented, and misunderstood, minority group in the US. While 11% of the US over 55 are Childfree, the financial and popular literature has very little to say about what it means to live a life of Childfree Wealth. Even within the Childfree community, there is very little about how choosing a Childfree lifestyle impacts your life, wealth, and finances.In Portraits of Childfree Wealth, Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP(R), interviews 26 individuals and couples to understand their lives. Each portrait provides a different perspective on Childfree Wealth from a diverse population across the US. There are stories from people who are barely making ends meet and others who have achieved FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) or FILE (Financial Independence, Live Early). Being Childfree does not automatically make people rich, as we still suffer from income disparities. The difference is that if a Childfree person is barely making ends meet now, they would have drowned if they had a child.Some key findings: -The reasons for being Childfree are as varied as the people themselves. -There are very few or no regrets from people being Childfree. -Being Childfree does not automatically make you rich. -There is a relationship between growing up in poverty and poor and being Childfree. -COVID had an impact. -Childfree Financial Independence is simple: 1. Got out of debt (and stayed out), and 2. Maxed out their retirement plans. -Childfree people may prefer FILE over FIRE. -Childfree people may be able to take turns growing and providing support (in a Gardener and the Rose approach).-Childfree Wealth reflects the ability to have the Time, Money, and Freedom to achieve your goals and dreams. While each person might have put those in a different order, the bottom line is that being Childfree allows you all three.

Keep Claiming It!
Depreciation is a tax deduction available to property investors that, if claimed, can add thousands of dollars to the returns from their investments. In the May 2017 Budget, the government introduced legislative changes to areas of taxation that affect property investors - the main one being depreciation. In this book, one of Australia's most respected quantity surveyors Tyron Hyde covers all the changes property investors need to know and understand in this guide to property depreciation. Do the changes mean investors will stop choosing property? Will current investment property owners now sell off their investments because they can no longer claim deprecation in quite the same way? The answer to both these questions is 'no', they will (and they should) Keep Claiming It!

Retirement As A Risky Project
Investors, investment advisors, and trustees of irrevocable family trusts face the challenge of providing sustainable periodic cash flows from financial asset portfolios. As the title suggests, this study gives primary emphasis to retirement-income planning for private investors. Initially, the retirement-planning process focuses on designing a portfolio (usually in terms of strategic or tactical asset allocation approaches), deciding on spending (withdrawal) elections, memorializing decisions in a written investment policy statement, and implementing the portfolio through the acquisition of investments. Following the first-stage activities, retirement planning becomes a measuring and managing problem. Although this book does not ignore first-stage activities, it focuses primarily on retirement-income portfolio management where the term "management" encompasses an assessment of investment resources and goals, elucidation of options, and implementation of a process to decide which options are appropriate and prudent. Retirement is a risky project. We use the term "project" in a real-options sense where the investor has the option to accept the project (start retirement immediately), delay the project (postpone the retirement start date), or, health permitting, reject the project (work for the remainder of life). This book demonstrates that real options are rarely binary. Rather, they exist along a decision path where the advisor invites the investor to consider which asset management options are available currently. Real options, evaluated intelligently, offer the investor both risk and opportunity. This book examines retirement risk and opportunity by considering three metrics: feasibility, sustainability, and flexibility.
Governance, Stewardship and Sustainability
The first introductory practical guide of its kind, this book brings together principles of corporate governance, investor stewardship and enterprise sustainability in the context of institutional investment. Stewardship codes are developing in diverse markets to provide a framework for responsible institutional investment practices and fiduciary duties for beneficiaries. While codes provide a starting point, the application of stewardship in practical terms can be challenging for many institutional investors. Written by two well-known corporate governance experts, George Dallas and Mike Lubrano, and based on the ICGN training course on stewardship that they developed, this book gives needed clarity, rigor and guidance to practitioners about what we know-and don't know-about stewardship, governance and sustainability. It explores the theoretical foundations of stewardship, linking these to day-to-day decision-making and providing real-life examples and practical tools to evaluate issues that arise for companies from an environmental, social and governance perspective and generate ideas about how to make investor stewardship a practical reality in similar cases. Investor stewardship and ESG professionals, portfolio managers, senior managers, regulators and finance students will appreciate this unique guide to developing, refining and operationalising investor stewardship capabilities in line with the respected and internationally recognised ICGN policy framework.

The 12 Most Powerful Ways of Making Money From UK Property
If you are looking for a book that gets you started or expands your knowledge of the existing tactics and strategies to invest in the UK property market this is it. This book is written from my several years of experience investing, using simple to advanced strategies, making mistakes and fixing them, learning from the pros to avoid pitfalls coming from ignoring the complex webs of regulations in the UK which has the most intrusive planning system in the world. My aim with this book is to give you a bird's eye view of the different paths available to you making specific notes of what you need to take into account to turn this into a cash-generating business, because believe it or not, over 70% of landlords in the UK have become so by accident not purposefully learning to make the maximum money from the assets they have inherited and believe me, there is a big difference between those who manage to see to maximise their profit and those who just see a buy to let investment in every building that is put in front of them. In this book, I also attempt to encourage you to invest like a pro, following regulations and avoiding becoming one of the thousands of cowboy investors out there who have no regard for tenants, regulations or even their assets themselves. Such cowboys are building a glass castle likely to break into pieces with the slightest touch. After you've read the book, come and join me on propertycashflow.co.uk, so I can take you by the hand and help you get to the other side with a powerful asset in one hand generating as much cashflow as possible and the free time, on the other hand, to use in any way you like. See you soon. Noel

The Liberal Heart of Europe
Was the European Union ever a liberal dream? How did the common market impact the liberalization in its member states? Has the EU fostered more or less economic freedom in the Old Continent? This book explores the intellectual and political genesis of the European Union, focusing especially on its relationship to classical liberalism. It explains how the new enthusiasm for liberalization associated with Reagan and Thatcher helped revive the European project in the 1980s, while providing some insights on the current challenges Europe is facing as a result of the financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic. The contributors highlight the role of liberal, pro-market ideas played in shaping the EU, the single market and the euro, and how these should be coming into play again if the European project is to be reanimated. This volume originates from a conference the Italian think tank Istituto Bruno Leoni hosted in 2019 and is dedicated to Alberto Giovannini (1955-2019). Giovannini was an influential macroeconomist and financial economist. His vast legacy of studies and ideas prompted this book in his honor, on the occasion of his untimely passing away.

Principles
From Ray Dalio, the legendary investor and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Principles--whose books have sold more than five million copies worldwide--comes a guided reflection journal that empowers readers everywhere to develop their own principles for success in work and life. "Principles are fundamental truths that serve as the foundations for behavior that gets you what you want out of life." --Ray Dalio In his #1 New York Times bestseller Principles, legendary investor Ray Dalio introduced millions of readers around the world to the unconventional approach he developed as the founder and builder of Bridgewater Associates, the largest and most successful hedge fund in the world. Dalio attributes his unique success to his process of recording, refining, and acting on a set of well-defined principles, which are effectively decision-rules for getting what you want out of life and work. His goal in publishing the book was to show readers the value of principle-based thinking so that they could develop their own principles, aligned with their own values, for getting whatever they wanted out of life. With this new journal, Dalio takes his goal one step further to help readers reflect on and record their own principles. He does that by providing a series of guided exercises and questions for reflecting on what you're like, what you value, and what principles will best help you achieve your goals. These exercises draw from key concepts in the original Principles book, including: 1. How to identify your strengths, weaknesses, motivations, and preferences 2. How to use the "five-step process" to achieve your goals 3. How to become both "assertive and open-minded at the same time" 4. How to maximize your learning from your mistakes (which are inevitable) All of these exercises can optionally be enhanced using the free Principles in Action iOS and Android app (currently available in the United States, UK, Germany, Spain, and India with more countries to come), which provides an even more interactive, multimedia experience, and they are followed by a number of blank journal pages containing thought-provoking and unconventional prompts from Principles aimed at helping you formulate your own principles. The experience concludes with a structured reflection on where you and your loved ones are along life's journey, leaving you with a highly personalized, practical playbook for achieving success in the years ahead.
Money Mind
Losing money is an unavoidable part of trading. Losing your sanity shouldn't be. Financial freedom can feel elusive. Achieving it through speculation, for many, seems like a dream even further out of reach. Where do you start? How do you learn? Are there ways to mitigate risk?B.R. Sutton learned portfolio management the hard way. Like many traders, at first he was in it strictly for the money. But after ten years of making money and losing it, learning and growing, Sutton gained what he was lacking in his life: autonomy.

In Money Mind, Sutton shares his journey, along with strategies for creating independence and the tools to maintain it. You'll learn ancient principles that enable you to become a good steward of money, enjoy speculation, and bounce back from defeat stronger than before. Now is the time to decide who and what you want to be. No matter your age or profession, Money Mind is your chance to gain perspective and live life on your terms.
The Missing Semester
AWARDED EXCELLENCE IN FINANCIAL LITERACY EDUCATION BY EIFLE. Also selected as a finalist for the Best Book Awards by the USA Book News!

For those still in college or high school, this is a chance to get a head-start on peers and an independent life. The Missing Semester is based on the principle of ownership―ownership of your financial future. It begins with the premise that your financial future is your responsibility, and that you cannot plan for or expect help.

The Complexities of Sustainability
Sustainability is a topic of great interest to governments, businesses and individual members of society. There is a general consensus that sustainability is important and therefore, needs to be addressed. There is much less consensus, however, as to what this actually means and how it can be addressed. It appears to mean different things to different people and certainly everyone has their own priorities about what needs to be addressed. Consensus is difficult to find because of the complexity of what is involved in sustainability. This book addresses a number of these complexities by looking at different perspectives from experts from a wide range of different disciplines and from different parts of the world. The aim of the book, therefore, is to stimulate discussion about what needs to be prioritised, as this forms an essential precursor to taking the necessary actions in order to achieve the essential sustainability for the planet.This book is indexed in Scopus.
Tax Morale and Tax Resistance
This book is the first to shed light on the recent opinion of taxpayers on tax and fiscal policy in Japan through an attitude questionnaire. It is said that Japanese taxpayers' tax morale is high. However, taxpayers in Japan are often described as having strong resistance to tax increases, especially consumption tax increases. There is, then, a paradox with respect to the attitude toward tax policies among Japanese citizens. This book provides background information and basic descriptive statistics from Internet surveys in Japan by the authors, who introduce their results by focusing on tax morale and opinions with respect to a consumption tax hike. The summary statistics indicate that while tax morale is high, half of the respondents oppose a consumption tax hike from 8% to 10%. Furthermore, the ideal consumption tax rate for most respondents was less than 10% in both surveys, suggesting that Japanese taxpayers have a strong tax resistance, attributable to distrust of government and politicians.

The Anxious Investor
A revelatory new guide to becoming a smarter investor, drawing upon behavioral psychology, economic modeling, and market history to offer practical advice for reaching your financial goals"With the equity and fixed-income markets off to a rough start in 2022, investors might do well to review the lessons shared in Mr. Nations's book." --Wall Street JournalThe human brain is ill-suited to making wise investment decisions. We are overconfident in our own knowledge and hunches, terrible at assessing risk, and prone to chasing financial thrills rather than measured long-term goals. Making matters worse, periods of severe market turbulence--whether the dotcom bubble of the late 90's, the Great Recession a decade later, or the brief, vertiginous COVID crash of 2020--bring out our most irrational selves, at the exact moment when the consequences for investment mistakes are most severe. Scott Nations has spent his career studying market volatility. His firm, Nations Indexes, is the world's leading independent developer of volatility and option-enhanced indexes. In The Anxious Investor, he teaches readers how to understand markets, master their own fear, and make the most of their money. Drawing upon cutting-edge research in behavioral psychology, Nations shows that the secrets to excellent investing lie in mastering the quirks of human psychology. How are some investors able to make prudent decisions under pressure, while others rely on gut instinct to disastrous effect? How can we prepare for a market crash before it happens? And what can help us stay the course when the waters get choppy? Using the stories of three infamous market bubbles as his backdrop, Nations offers readers history's hard-earned lessons about greed, volatility, and value.Whether you're saving for retirement, a home, or a child's college education, The Anxious Investor offers a blueprint for achieving your goals. While we can never know exactly which financial surprises may loom ahead, here is an indispensable resource for investors to make sense of them.
