From Ramen to Riches: Building Wealth in Your 20s: Or Spending, Saving, Investing and Managing Your Money to Get Rich Slowly, but Surely Review

"You mean to tell me you've been employed as a software engineer for five years and your net worth is 0?" These are not the words you want to hear from your mortgage banker when you're looking to borrow a large sum of money. Despite a well-paying job, the author had managed to spend everything he had earned in the five years after college. The meeting with the mortgage officer was his financial epiphany. He finally got serious about managing and investing his money. Now in his early 50s, the author is debt free, owns a house free and clear, and has built a retirement portfolio that will comfortably sustain him and his wife in the coming years. This book will help people avoid the financial mistakes the author made the first few years after college. In a breezy, humorous, and conversational style, it describes a common-sense approach to spending, saving, investing, and managing your money to build wealth over time. If you are looking to get a grip on managing your money, From Ramen to Riches is for you!

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: Personal Reflection for Sound Investing and Self-Improvement

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: Personal Reflection for Sound Investing and Self-Improvement Review

Don’t deceive yourself! Seek your “true reflection”–the honest truth that can help you build a happier, wealthier, and more fulfilling life.

 

“Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” the Evil Queen asked her mirror, over and over. “You are, my Queen,” it replied. Who wouldn’t love to be so validated? Yet such a mirror may offer more self-deception than reality. In fact, self-deception may be closer to what we use to judge ourselves–our behavior, relationships, and money….

Faithful Finances 101: From the Poverty of Fear and Greed to the Riches of Spiritual Investing

Faithful Finances 101: From the Poverty of Fear and Greed to the Riches of Spiritual Investing Review

Now in paperback, this challenging and provocative book strips the veneer from the financial advice of some popular evangelical media celebrities and advocates a reintegrating of faith and finances.

Faithful Finances 101 is a first-person narrative by outspoken advocate of faith-based investing. A senior vice president of investments at Paine Webber before founding his own investment firm as "counsel to ethical and spiritual investors," Gary Moore warns that much of the economic advice emanating from some popular and influential evangelical authors and speakers is based on scare tactics and distortions of what the Bible has to say about finances. He draws on fifty years of studying the Bible, politics, and economics, and presents insights for those who want to be faithful in their finances—to use 100 percent of the time, talent, and treasure with which they have been entrusted for the glory of God as well as for the benefit of others and themselves, and not just give 10 percent of their incomes to the church.

"Many financial gurus are ignorant of spiritual matters. Many spiritual leaders are ignorant of financial matters. In a rare blend, Gary Moore brings together proven financial expertise with mature spiritual insights. This book is a must read for those who care about managing their finances faithfully." —David W. Miller, PhD, Yale Center for Faith and Culture, Yale Divinity School

"The book is hard-hitting, thought-provoking, and intellectually challenging, offering a Christian view of macroeconomics rather than a mere how-to guide for personal finance." —Publishers Weekly
