How to Retire in the Country and Own a Home Without a Mortgage by John G. Anderson Pdf

If you were to read much of the financial literature that is published for those nearing retirement age, you would be hard-pressed not to believe that most Americans are retiring at age 60 with multi-million dollar investment portfolios earning 10 percent annual returns. However, the facts present a much more depressing picture for the majority of Americans nearing retirement. From 2007 to 2010, U.S. median household net worth fell by a staggering 38 percent. And as of 2012, more than 67 percent of Americans 65 and older have less than $50,000 in savings, aside from the value of their residence. With an average personal savings rate at a historical low of only 3.6 percent and median annual income of only $37,625, American's are currently saving less than $1,340 per year. And with the average Social Security retirement payment at only $1,233 per month, it becomes apparent that most Americans today have grossly inadequate investments and income-producing assets necessary to afford a retirement beyond mere subsistence. In other words, most people in the United States have no other options except to retire into poverty. A common bit of advice given by financial planners to soon-to-be retirees is to postpone retirement, to keep working, or if separated from your profession, to take a low-wage job. Statistical evidence suggests that people should never quit working at something – if they're interested in a long life. However, working at menial jobs for minimum wage is far different than working for yourself at something that holds your interest and provides personal satisfaction. In planning for your retirement, you should keep in mind also that retiring at an age that is too old to physically enjoy the activities of your interests will not be a very happy scenario. Nevertheless, the only reason why this advice is so often and so glibly served up is because financial planners generally have no other solutions to offer. The truth is, the last thing someone at age 60 wants to be doing is working at a low-wage job or wasting away in substandard living conditions. At the same time, the prospect of life without an income other than perhaps rapidly-diminishing Social Security income is nothing more than depressing. Yet, this is the reality for most Americans – not seven-figure investment portfolios. There is no question that the economy presents a very difficult and sometimes even hostile environment in which to retire. And statistical evidence suggests that this environment will continue to deteriorate for a period lasting well into the foreseeable future. Even if your financial condition is relatively affluent and your retirement income is to include a life-long pension, your financial security in retirement is subject to unprecedented and potentially-destructive conditions. Such conditions as high inflation, price controls, commodity shortages and increased taxes could devastate even the healthiest portfolios. These conditions will not simply go away and it is unlikely that any meaningful solution is politically possible. The official course of action is to do what the federal government has been doing somewhat successfully for decades – ignore the problem. The consequences of this, however, will lead to a devestated economic environment. The U.S. and the world are far into unchartered territory with such conditions, so it is impossible to know exactly how events will unfold. But in planning for your retirement, you would be wise to consider these facts and the potential risks that they pose to your physical and financial security. The good news is that there are steps that you can take to protect yourself from the intensifying hardships. The solutions presented here are available to anyone, rich or poor, who is willing to create value through dedication and hard work.

The Rule of 30 by Frederick Vettese Pdf

Consider the age-old question of how much you should save to enjoy a comfortable retirement: Are your knees knocking? Are you nervously biting your nails? In The Rule of 30 personal finance expert Frederick Vettese provides a surprising — and hopeful — answer. Through conversations between a young couple and their neighbor, a retired actuary, the couple and the reader discover: • How they would have fared had they been saving over various periods in the past, and how the future investment climate will differ • The problem with saving a constant percentage of pay • The Rule of 30 and why it is a more rational way to save • Whether investing in real estate is a viable alternative to investing in stocks The Rule of 30 changes the mindset from saving the same flat percentage of pay to saving when it is most convenient to your situation. In most cases, it means less saving early on while mortgage payments are high and children are costly, and more saving later. Saving for retirement is a high priority, but it is not the only priority in life. It is time to dispense with old myths like “just save 10% of your take-home pay.” The truth is we should save differently throughout our pre-retirement years — and The Rule of 30 is a road map for doing so.

Wallet Activism by Tanja Hester Pdf

2022 NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS FINALIST — SOCIAL/POLITICAL CHANGE • 2022 ASJA ANNUAL WRITING AWARD WINNER — SERVICE • 2022 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS GOLD MEDALIST — SOCIAL CHANGE & SOCIAL JUSTICE • 2022 AXIOM BUSINESS BOOK AWARD GOLD MEDALIST — PHILANTHROPY/NONPROFIT/SUSTAINABILITY How do we vote with our dollars, not just to make ourselves feel good, but to make a real difference? Wallet Activism challenges you to rethink your financial power so can feel confident spending, earning, and saving money in ways that align with your values. While we call the American system a democracy, capitalism is the far more powerful force in our lives. The greatest power we have—especially when political leaders won’t move quickly enough—is how we use our money: where we shop, what we buy, where we live, what institutions we entrust with our money, who we work for, and where we donate determines the trajectory of our society and our planet. While our votes and voices are essential, too, Wallet Activism helps you use your money for real impact. It can feel overwhelming to determine “the right way” to spend: a choice that might seem beneficial to the environment may have unintended consequences that hurt people. And marketers are constantly lying to you, making it hard to know what choice is best. Wallet Activism empowers us to vote with our wallets by making sense of all the information coming at us, and teaching us to cultivate a more holistic mindset that considers the complex, interrelated ecosystems of people and the planet together, not as opposing forces. From Tanja Hester, Our Next Life blogger and author of Work Optional, comes the mindset-shifting guide to help you put your money where your values are. Wallet Activism is not a list of dos and don’ts that will soon become outdated, nor does it call for anti-consumerist perfection. Instead, it goes beyond simple purchasing decisions to explore: The impacts a financial decision can have across society and the environment How to create a personal spending philosophy based on your values Practical questions to quickly assess the “goodness” of a product or an entity you may buy from The ethics of earning money, choosing what foods to eat, employing others, investing responsibly, choosing where to live, and giving money away For anyone interested in leaving the world better than you found it, Wallet Activism helps you build habits that will make your money matter.

The Wealthy Renter by Alex Avery Pdf

A National Bestseller! Why be house poor when you can rent rich? “Why rent when you can buy?” More than any other, this phrase captures the overwhelmingly unanimous promotion of home ownership to Canadians. Real estate agents, mortgage brokers, family, friends, and even the government promote ownership as a safe, attractive, and sure-fire path to personal wealth. This one-size-fits-all advice ignores the reality of Canada’s housing market. Canadians deserve better advice. Faced with expensive house prices in a near-zero interest rate world, it’s time Canadians heard the virtues of renting and seriously considered renting as an alternative to home ownership. Real estate analyst Alex Avery insists renting offers a simple, more affordable way to live, plus in Canada’s frenzied housing market, going month-to-month is dramatically lower risk. He claims the reputation of home ownership as a wealth building strategy is unfounded and shows renters how to replace bricks-and-mortar with better investment opportunities.
