Are you confused and intimidated by "expert financial advice" you can't understand? You need The Savage Truth On Money-from the cash in your pocket to the world of online investing. The candid and up-front advice in The Savage Truth On Money is aimed at your mind, your heart. and your balance sheet. Whether you're just starting out or well on your way, Terry Savage will empower you to make informed money decisions and evaluate the advice that the growing money industry sends your way. Her expertise comes from her vast experience as a stock trader, stock broker, investment advisor, television market analyst, and bestselling personal finance author. Step by step and dollar by dollar, The Savage Truth On Money empowers you to manage your money by freeing yourself from debt, creating a budget you can live with, and investing wisely-even on a modest paycheck-to build equity and wealth. Savage helps you harness the power of the Web by using money management software to develop and track your financial plan. There's a Savage side to investing today. [+]Find out what it is and how it could impact your 401(k) choices and IRA decisions. Discover how to harness the twin emotions that destroy financial plans: fear and greed. Learn how to invest for retirement; insure for long-term care; create a college education fund; use life insurance and annuities; and make a smart estate plan so that your hard-earned wealth isn't confiscated by taxes. Terry Savage will show you how. The Savage Truth On Money will give you the facts, resources, and confidence you need to take charge of your finances today-and give you a secure future for tomorrow. Whether it's the invisible chat room jockey pumping penny stocks or the silver-haired Peter Lynch hawking Fidelity Investments, finding financial advice these days is pretty easy, and for most of us the real problem is not getting advice, it's getting good advice. Which is something that Terry Savage dispenses in good measure in The Savage Truth on Money. It's not that Savage has found a new way to get rich. She hasn't. What makes this book work is her commonsense approach to attaining financial security. At the heart of Savage's advice is the notion that getting ahead is a matter of "self-discipline," which "means making knowledgeable decisions based on a rational assessment of likely results and then sticking to your decisions in the face of emotional upheaval. " Forget about sticking your head in the sand-for Savage, knowledge is power, and knowledge begins when you examine your own relationship to money. She encourages getting online as way to manage your finances, educate yourself, and seek out new opportunities. The book is filled with insights on topics such as risk management, investing in mutual funds, saving for college, and buying insurance. Savage's experience as a financial journalist (print, television, online), stockbroker, the first woman member of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, as well as her service on the Board of Directors of McDonald's and Devon Energy Corporation brings a air of credibility that's hard to find in books of this ilk. The Savage Truth on Money is for people who think seriously about their money, no matter how smart they think they are. -Harry C. Edwards.

Review Bankruptcy Implementation of Reform Act's Debt Reaffirmation Agreement Provisions / Nova Science Publishers:The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (referred to hereafter as the Reform Act) included provisions to better inform individuals who file for personal bankruptcy about their options for reaffirming debt - whereby filers may voluntarily agree to pay certain creditors in an effort to retain assets, such as an automobile. Reaffirmation agreements between debtors and creditors are required, by law, to formally disclose to debtors the terms of the agreement, such as the amount of debt reaffirmed. Some requirements differ for credit unions, such as an exemption for reporting debtor financial information when the debtor's attorney signs the agreement. This book discusses the extent to which required Reform Act disclosures and other information have been incorporated into reaffirmation agreements, the types of debts reaffirmed and the percent this debt comprised of debtors' overall debt burden, and how reaffirmed and original interest rates compare.

Review At War with the Weather: Managing Large-Scale Risks in a New Era of Catastrophes / The MIT Press:The United States and other nations are facing large-scale risks at an accelerating pace. In 2005, three major hurricanes—Katrina, Rita, and Wilma—made landfall along the U. S. Gulf Coast within an eight-week period. The damage caused by these storms led to insurance reimbursements and federal disaster relief of more than $180 billion—a record sum. Today we are more vulnerable to catastrophic losses because of the increasing concentration of population and activities in high-risk coastal regions of the country. The question is not whether but when future catastrophes will strike. Who should pay the costs associated with catastrophic losses suffered by homeowners in hazard-prone areas? In At War with the Weather, Howard Kunreuther and Erwann Michel-Kerjan and their colleagues deliver a groundbreaking analysis of how we currently mitigate, insure against, and finance recovery from natural disasters in the United States. They offer innovative, long-term solutions for reducing losses and providing financial support for disaster victims that define a coherent strategy to assure sustainable recovery from future large-scale disasters. The amount of data collected and analyzed and innovations proposed make this the most comprehensive book written on these critical issues in the past thirty years.
