Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
Great book - must read for every couple who's serious about their money
Very well written book that does not provide any earth shattering secrets of life, but it does a great job of rehashing basic concepts and really stressing the importance of simple but a disciplined approach to money and life management. The chapter on housing is the weakest of all chapters in the book, the one with the investment models is the best. I also enjoyed the chapter on global competitiveness and the need for people to change their mindset and realize that jobs and the way to stay employed are vastly different from 30 years ago.
so much good advice
this book provides you with such great and easy to follow advice. I mean in a lot of ways it provides with you "no-brainers" but it's sitll great advice that when applied allows you to speak more fluently in the language of currency.
