Book Synopsis The Virtue of Money by : Daniel Arthur Nelson
Download or read book The Virtue of Money written by Daniel Arthur Nelson. This book was released on 2012-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Think about all the myths you've been taught about money. Money does not contribute to peace of mind. Material things do not contribute to happiness. We can never honor things if we use them as a means to self-enhancement. AuthorDaniel Arthur Nelsonwho has gone from living a hardscrabble life to one of pleasure and luxury, sweeps those lies aside. He contends that money helps people achieve great things, and wanting it is an honorable desire. Money can bring economic security and allow you to enrich the body, mind, and soul. Underestimating the peace and happiness money can bring you is a dire mistake that could have devastating consequences. While there is nothing intrinsically bad about poor people, the notion that there is virtue in poverty is misguided and harmful. On the contrary, the sensible and moral view is that the love of money, properly balanced, is indeed, righteous. Seeking material success allows you to live a more productive life and enjoyThe Virtue of Money.

Book Synopsis Working Ethically in Finance by : Anthony Asher
Download or read book Working Ethically in Finance written by Anthony Asher. This book was released on 2015-07-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “... a must read for those wanting to craft a vocation in finance.” -- Adrian Gore, CEO, Discovery Group; “... no better book for a student or practitioner who wants more than is usually on offer in finance courses in our universities.” -- Paul Oslington, Professor of Economics and Dean of Business, Alphacrucis College, Sydney. To develop a vocation we ask: what do I want to be remembered for? This involves aspiring to personal integrity and a life well lived. Those working in the financial sector fulfill vocations by finding ways to serve social purposes, to allocate resources efficiently and to provide financial security—while remembering the needy. This means contributing to institutions, where people can flourish personally and create appropriate products and services. The ethics of those working on finding their vocation do not flow from rules and obligations, but from a personal commitment to seeking what is good. This life is based on the fundamental personal virtue, integrity. This book is written for those who aspire to the cultivation of the personal virtues of wisdom, self-control, courage, and justice.

Book excerpt: Check out the Book Trailer for Wealth by Virtue youtube.com/watch?v=r4qf5Er2CS0&t=1s Most people share a central fear: that at some point in their lives, they will need money and not have it. Wealth is the absence of that fear. Wealth by Virtue is a masterful explanation of our financial world. The book is structured around The Six Areas of Finance: banking, investments, real estate, insurance, legal planning, and tax planning. Everything in your personal finances fits into these categories. By recognizing this structure, you make them all work together and put yourself on the path to wealth-optimized decisions. Wealth by Virtue is a personal finance book that builds a conceptual framework to aim for a better financial future. In the BANKING chapter, it shows you: - how inflation is the most certain threat to personal finances - how most people don't make money in banks In the chapter on INVESTMENTS, it shows you: - how much the stock market performs each year - how using dividends for income can actually grow your wealth in retirement In the REAL ESTATE chapter, it shows you: - why using extra money to paying off your house generally puts you in a poorer position than saving it up - how buying real estate shields from your biggest inflation threat In the INSURANCE chapter, it shows you: - why all insurance decisions begin with your insurable needs and how to calculate this - how to know if you need long term care insurance or if you can self-insure In the chapter on LEGAL PLANNING, it shows you: - whether you should get a trust or a will - why putting "joint" on accounts and property can be a massive mistake In the chapter on TAXES, it shows you: - how people can receive Social Security tax free - how tax deferral does not usually help you Wealth by Virtue looks at your personal finances, financial planning, and retirement planning as a comprehensive structure rather than as unrelated components.
