"A few years ago I embarked on a project to teach my children everything I knew about investing and personal finance. As you read this book, you will immediately recognize it is unlike any other investment and personal finance book you have ever encountered. The book gets its title Financial Tales because the financial lessons revealed are all told in the form of tales. We teach through tales because throughout history our greatest teachers have taught through stores, fables and parables. It is a powerful way to learn because it encourages immediate, positive and long-lasting action. In doing so, we are able to relate to the stories, either personally or by observation of others and thus gain practical skills. My goal today is to demystify a complex topic and for you to gain access to the same investment and personal finance knowledge previously reserved for family, close friends and clients. I hope you share it with all those dear to you." -Carlos Sera, author of Financial Tales These tales will also help you: Develop a sustainable relationship with money Understand financial markets Manage your investments intelligently and by yourself Identify and hire expert advisors if you choose to work with one Work productively with your expert advisor Create a game winning financial team Retire intelligently and with abundance Prepare for the unexpected Learn accountability and develop good habits Pick the right college and insurance policy Overcome the biggest obstacle to investment success Learn to say "no" when you want to say "yes"

Use your advantage to fight for social change with this resource guide for people with class privilege who are tired of cover-ups and ready to figure out how to use privilege for the good of the world. The fight for economic justice can draw stark battle lines, with the fight portrayed simplistically as Us versus Them, with the rich in the role of "Them." So where does that leave young people with wealth who believe in social change? Afraid of being branded the enemy, yet deeply committed to social justice, they're left in a confusing no-man's land. This conflict can lead most young people with wealth to keep their privilege hidden, making it impossible for them to bring their resources, access, and connections to the struggle for social change. Coauthored by Karen Pittelman, who dissolved her $3 million trust fund to cofound a foundation for low-income women activists, Classified is a resource guide for people with class privilege who are tired of cover-ups and ready to figure out how their privilege really works. Complete with comics, exercises, and personal stories, this book gives readers the tools they need to put their privilege to work for social change.

Financial advisors, poker players, hedge fund traders, fund-raisers, sports agents, credit counselors and commissioned salespeople all deal with one central concern in their jobs: money. In Money at Work, Kevin Delaney explores how we think about money and, particularly, how our jobs influence that thinking. By spotlighting people for whom money is the focus of their work, Delaney illuminates how the daily practices experienced in different jobs create distinct ways of thinking and talking about money and how occupations and their work cultures carry important symbolic, material, and practical messages about money. Delaney takes us deep inside the cultures of these ‘moneyed’ workers, using both interviews and first-hand observations of many of these occupations. From hedge fund trading rooms in New York, to poker players at work in Las Vegas casinos, to a “Christian money retreat” in a monastery in rural Pennsylvania, Delaney illustrates how the underlying economic conditions of various occupations and careers produce what he calls “money cultures,” or ways of understanding the meaning of money, which in turn shape one’s economic outlook. Key to this is how some professionals, such as debt counselors, think very differently than say poker players in their regard to money—Delaney argues that it is the structure of these professions themselves that in turn influences monetary attitudes. Fundamentally, Money at Work shows that what people do for a living has a profound effect on how people conceive of money both at work and in their home lives, making clear the connections between the economic and the social, shedding light on some of our most basic values. At a time when conversations about money are increasingly important, Delaney shows that we do not merely learn our attitudes toward money in childhood, but we also learn important money lessons from the work that we do.
