Book description
AARP Digital Editions offer you practical tips, proven solutions, and
expert guidance.
Do you speak money? You should. It is the world's most important
language. It's spoken everywhere. Speaking-or at least
understanding-this language allows you to follow the real
conversations in politics, business, and at work. Understanding money
and speaking the language fluently is critical to preparing for a
comfortable retirement, building a small business, planning for
college and a career for your children. Everyone speaks it
differently, with different dialects. Some are riskier than others.
Some want to save their money; others want to see it grow. There is no
one accent, but understanding the differences will make couples,
business partners, and coworkers happier-and wealthier. Authors and
CNN financial experts Ali Velshi and Christine Romans speak the global
language of money and translate it every day for hundreds of thousands
of viewers. And they are here to teach you, too. It's easier to learn
than you might think.
Speaking money affects every area of your life. It's more than simply
your savings or the investments you may have. It involves the way you
think about money, the way you teach your children about it, and the
way you were taught about it yourself. It's about the way you spend
it, save it, invest it, use it, need it and want it. The book will:
- Shed light on the male and female spending and investing disparity
- Discuss emerging international economies
- Weigh the financial hurdle of student debt culminating in a
successful job
- Explain how to budget wisely and build wealth
- Show how to plan appropriately for retirement
How to Speak Money is an easy-to-read, practical book that
helps readers become fluent in the world's most universal language.
