Money, Myths, and Change by M.V. Lee Badgett Pdf

How does the standard of living of gay men and lesbians compare with that of heterosexuals? Do homosexuals make financial and family decisions differently? Why are the professional lives of gay men and lesbians dissimilar from those of heterosexuals? Or do they even differ? Have gay people benefited from the recent economic boom? Or have public policies denied them their fair share? Money, Myths, and Change provides new answers to these complex questions. This is the first comprehensive work to explore the economic lives of gays and lesbians in the United States. M. V. Lee Badgett weaves through and debunks common stereotypes about gay privilege, income, and consumer behavior. Studying the ends and means of gay life from an economic perspective, she disproves the assumption that gay men and lesbians are more affluent than heterosexuals, that they inspire discrimination when they come out of the closet, that they consume more conspicuously, that they enjoy a more self-indulgent, even hedonistic lifestyle. Badgett gets to the heart of these misconceptions through an analysis of the crucial issues that affect the livelihood of gay men and lesbians: discrimination in the workplace, denial of health care benefits to domestic partners and children, lack of access to legal institutions such as marriage, the corporate wooing of gay consumer dollars, and the use of gay economic clout to inspire social and political change. Both timely and readable, Money, Myths, and Change stands as a much-needed corrective to the assumptions that inhibit gay economic equality. It is a definitive work that sheds new light on just what it means to be gay or lesbian in the United States.

Money Talks by Christopher McKay Pdf

I think a great deal of financial blunders occur because people are reluctant to discuss money. This is why most people do not understand money or investing at all. Growing up, it was considered rude to discuss money and income in my family, and this mindset seems common in our current culture as well. That is truly a shame. We all must use money to live, and to gain real knowledge, it must be discussed.Can you imagine, for instance, if discussing oral hygiene was as taboo as money? You just left a toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss in your children's bathroom drawer, but you never actually showed them how to use each tool? They probably wouldn't know what to do and would end up with a mouth full of rotten teeth. Sadly, we do this very thing to our children with money, and then we are surprised when they fail.How many people heard the "birds and the bees" speech from your parents? Did you also receive the "money" talk? How telling that people feel more compelled to disucss sex with their kids rather than money! That notion would be hysterical if it didn't result in such a hardship for our children. My book addresses that very problem. Let's openly, unabashedly, and shamelessly discuss money to educate our children and ourselves. It is time to replace common money myths with common-sense strategies for saving, investing, and achieving financial success!

Money by Mellor, Mary Pdf

What does money mean? Where does it come from and how does it work? In this highly topical book, Mary Mellor, an expert on money, examines money’s social, political and commercial histories to debunk longstanding myths such as money being in short supply and needing to come from somewhere. Arguing that money’s immense social value means that its creation and circulation should be a matter of democratic choice, she sets out a new finance system, based on green and feminist concerns, to bring radical change for social good.
