The most powerful word in wealth building is choice. Too often, we limit our financial future based on conventional wisdom — on what we’ve heard from the media, or the tropes that we have trained ourselves to believe based on our situation or past. Financial freedom starts with understanding your personal financial drivers. It starts with taking control of your money and leveraging it to create your ideal future — not somebody else’s version of success. In her New York Times Bestseller, Wealthy by Design, Kimberly Foss offers the insight and tools you need to confidently design a sound investment plan that empowers you to make your own choices.

Drawing on her vast career of advising clients from all financial backgrounds, as well as her own rise from humble beginnings, Kimberly frames her advice around powerful and enlightening stories — and through them, you will learn how to leverage personality, situation and belief, while applying proven wealth-building strategies to fulfill your needs and dreams for the future. Discover financial empowerment and harness the power of choice, in five easy steps.

America's elderly population is soaring, presenting numerous challenges for policymakers in the United States. Other developed nations with aging populations face similar problems. There will be fewer workers relative to retirees in coming decades and the elderly are also expected to live longer. The impact of these demographic changes in the United States is likely to be challenging, especially for America's system of social security. Solomon offers new perspectives on how to meet the future costs of social security without bankrupting the next generation or gravely damaging the U.S. economy. He also shows, more broadly, how to provide for the financial security of America's senior populations.Over the past two decades, primary responsibility for providing a financially adequate retirement has shifted from the federal government and employers to individuals. For most Americans, social security alone will not provide enough income. Most companies have shed their pension plans for 401(k) plans, to which companies and employees contribute, and in which participants must make their own investment decisions. Consequently, achieving financial security in retirement has increasingly become one's personal responsibility.Solomon deals extensively with the politics of social security, past and present. He examines the presidential leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan, both of whom revived the nation's spirit in times of crisis, both of whom introduced economic policies that remain controversial to the present day. He also considers in detail contemporary efforts to rethink social security, focusing on fundamental reform of the social security system and the expansion and simplification of employer-sponsored retirement plans and individual retirement arrangements.Richly textured, informed, and informative, Financial Security and Personal Wealth encompasses history, demography, political economy, public finance, social policy.
