Why cutting up your credit cards won't make you rich Apopular TV personality often says, "Take out your credit cards andcut them into pieces." While that is sound advice for people whoare not financially responsible, it is inadequate advice for anyonewho wants to become rich or financially free. In other words, justcutting up your credit cards will not make you rich. What does makeyou rich is financial education...unfortunately a type of educationwe do not receive in school. If a person has a solid financialeducation, they would know that there are two kinds of debt...gooddebt and bad debt. A person with a sound financial education wouldknow how to use good debt to make them richer faster...much fasterthan a person who only saves money and has no debt. Rich Dad'sGuide to Becoming Rich * Are you in credit card debt? * Is jobsecurity dead? * Is your financial security threatened? * Is ahigh-paying job the answer? * Is your money working for you? * Doyou have good debt or bad debt?

When I was a boy, my father often pulled me aside to convey lessons intended to build what we generally refer to as 'character'. Often his advice was very simple -- work hard, think for yourself, do right by others -- but I believe those lessons provided the foundation for everything that has followed in my life. Now that I'm a dad myself, I wanted to put them down in one place, with examples of my own experiences, as a guide to life, adventure, and investing, both for my young daughters and for anyone seeking success in his or her chosen field. I hope that parents will be inspired to give this book to their children, and vice versa, as many of the lessons that I have learned apply not just to young people but to all adults -- for example, question everything, never follow the crowd, and beware of boys -- A Gift to My Children .

At a moment of ecological and financial crisis, bestsellingauthor and economist Juliet B. Schor presents a revolutionarystrategy for transitioning toward a richer, more balancedlife. In Plenitude economist and bestselling author Juliet B. Schoroffers a groundbreaking intellectual statement about the economicsand sociology of ecological decline, suggesting a radical change inhow we think about consumer goods, value, and ways to live. Humans are degrading the planet far faster than they areregenerating it. As we travel along this shutdown path, food,energy, transport, and consumer goods are becoming increasinglyexpensive. The economic downturn that has accompanied theecological crisis has led to another type of scarcity: incomes,jobs, and credit are also in short supply. Our usual way back togrowth-a debt-financed consumer boom- is no longer an option ourhouseholds, or planet, can afford.
