How to Be Richer, Smarter, and Better-Looking Than Your Parents by Zac Bissonnette Pdf

Striking out on your own for the first time is exhilarating. But in a culture full of bad advice, predatory banks, and splurge-now-pay-later temptations, it can also be extremely dangerous—leading you to make financial decisions that could hurt you for years to come. Combine this with a slumped economy, mounds of student loans, and dubious examples from reality TV stars to politicians to your own parents, and it’s no wonder so many twenty-somethings are struggling. Twenty-three-year-old Zac Bissonnette—the author of Debt-Free U—knows exactly what you’re going through. He demystifies the many traps young people fall victim to in their post-college years. He offers fresh insights on everything from job hunting to buying a car to saving for retirement that will give you a foundation for a secure, stable, and happy life. In the process, he reveals why FICO scores are overrated, online job applications are a waste of time, car loans are for suckers, and credit card rewards are a scam. With detours to discuss wine connoisseurs, Really Broke Housewives, and Lenny Dykstra, Zac shows you how to make better choices today so you can be richer, smarter (and better-looking!) for years to come.

Confucianism is the guiding creed for a quarter of mankind, yet hardly anyone has explained it in plain terms OCo until now. Written in a style both intelligible and enjoyable for the global audience, The Great Equal Society distils the core ideas of the major Confucian classics and shows how their timeless wisdom can be applied to the modern world. It also introduces pragmatic suggestions emanating from Confucius and his followers for ensuring good governance, building a humane economy and educating moral leaders. The book''s core message of inner morality, first expounded by Confucius millennia ago, will resonate on both sides of the Pacific, and its sweeping survey of the hot topics today OCo dysfunctional government, crony capitalism, and the erosion of ethics in both Wall Street and Main Street, among others OCo will breathe new life to Confucian teachings while providing much-needed answers to our urgent social problems. The Great Equal Society is written by Young-oak Kim, a Korean thinker whom Wikipedia describes as the nation''s leading philosopher dealing with public issues and explaining Oriental philosophy to the public, and Jung-kyu Kim, a talented trilingual writer who has published works in English, Japanese and Korean.

The Great Beanie Baby Bubble by Zac Bissonnette Pdf

"There has never been a craze like Beanie Babies. The $5 beanbag animals with names like Seaweed the Otter and Gigi the Poodle drove a large swath of America into a greed-fueled frenzy as they chased the rarest Beanie Babies, whose values escalated weekly in the late 1990s. Just as strange as the mass hysteria was the man behind it. Sometimes called the "Steve Jobs of plush" by his employees, he obsessed over every detail of every animal his company ever released. He had no marketing budget and no connections, but he had something more valuable - an intuitive grasp of human psychology that would make him the richest man in the history of toys. The Great Beanie Baby Bubble is a classic American story of people winning and losing vast fortunes chasing what one dealer remembers as "the most spectacular dream ever sold.""--Back cover.

52% by Wright Aloba Pdf

The book is a roadmap of how to become a middle class and at the earliest time possible. The road to the middle class is so easy to achieve, like a child’s play. The book uniquely provides interactions with readers by incorporating various quizzes and discussion questions to measure the level of reader’s understanding and comprehension of the subject matter discussed. The book also contains narratives and case studies that parents, guardians, leaders, teachers and groups can use as discussion questions/points in homes, classrooms, public engagements and organizations. The book is a guide on how to raise children as early in life as possible. It is a book written for all ages and highly recommended especially for the youths, where the preparation and mindset to be a middle class elite should begin. The author strongly believe that regardless of race, color, religion, birthplace, social economic level and environment any individual can achieve the middle class status and beyond. To be a middle class elite does not require a degree in rocket science, rather, it requires a simple commitment to basic fundamentals of life responsibilities. It requires discipline and commitment to the keys that open the doors of success to the middle class. What we become in life is left to every individual and how far we go or excel in life depends on our efforts and sacrifice. If 52 percent of Americans are already in the middle class, anyone could and should plan to be part of the middle class.
