Get WalletWise


Book Description

Many personal financial self-help books available today discuss money management basics, but remarkably, the current genre of self-help financial books, overlook predatory financial products, scams and rip-offs that victimize millions of Americans. Get WalletWise instructs the reader how to avoid financial missteps and provide clear money management examples. In addition, my book offers methods to create positive money habits. Every day, millions of Americans struggle to make ends meet because they are providing for their raising kids, caring for elderly parents while saving for their kids' college education and retirement. These families may host adult children living back at home. Families function with little understanding of how to manage their money. Our national school system does not teach financial literacy. The completed manuscript of Get WalletWise encourages a generation of families sandwiched between raising children and caring for aging parents. Get WalletWise helps families whose income and expenses are equal, do not have significant savings, and whose budget is a mess. Bloomberg reports that 50% of Americans have 0 net worth despite living in the most affluent nation in the world. CNBC reports that 40% of Americans cannot cover a $400 emergency expense. According to Forbes, 43% of student loan borrowers are in default and owe, on average, more than $16,000. Ironically, only 42% of college students graduate on time. One- third of American adults have saved $0 for retirement. Get WalletWise teaches readers how to repair their personal finances through tried-and-true money management methods. Get WalletWise releases readers from the habit of "keeping up with the Jones's" and teaches them how to stop borrowing against their home equity. Readers find alternatives to using pay day loan businesses, pawnshops and other predatory lenders that other self-help finance books don't talk about.




Animal Killdom


Book Description

"I laughed. I cried. I hurled my faeces at my wife when she interrupted me." -- Gary Gorillason Animals are beautiful, noble creatures. They're also brutal, scheming, and skilled at ripping, bashing, and biting one another into tiny pieces. I'm sure we've all looked at a gorilla and wondered whether it could beat up a lion. How about a grizzly bear? Could an elephant stomp on a rabid weasel? (That one might not make the cut.) Animal Killdom asks the burning question: "What would happen if there was a Mixed Martial Animal Championship?" There's background info on the fighters' strengths (and weaknesses), real-life encounters, and more fun facts than you can shake a squirrel at. To top things off, the animal adversaries throw down in the arena, narrated (sort of reliably) by visionary first-time author and long-time underachiever Alex Cooper. You've seen the animal kingdom before, but never quite like this.
