It's Not About Being Cheap.  Living the Savvy Life isn't about being a cheapskate, a miser or a tightwad.  It's about having security and peace of mind by spending less than you make.  It's about knowing where you stand financially on a daily basis so you can make intelligent fiscal decisions.  It's about being penny-wise on the things that are less important to you so you can spend money on the things that are important to you.  It's about choosing to purchase only the things that you love and make you happy.  It's about cooking at home more often so you can occasionally splurge on dinner at your favorite restaurant.  It's about creating an environment in your home that is warm, comforting, and expressive of  who you are.  It's about having a wardrobe made entirely of clothes that fit and look great on you.  It's about enjoying your time off even more because you planned for it and know you can “afford it.”  Although Living the Savvy Life is filled with ways to save money, it isn't about frugal living.  It's about finding, attaining and maintaining balance.  Are you ready to start Living the Savvy Life?

With one bounced check, Nancy Brook’s world collapsed around her.  She was charged with a felony and thrown in jail even though her husband had pilfered money out of their business account.  Eventually, the charges were dismissed, but her marriage and business were over.  A decade later at age forty-three, Nancy thrived as a bank vice president and single parent.  Still, she couldn’t get her dating act together.  After seven break-ups in seven years, she knew it was time for a change.

The cure for her dating blues?  A 700-mile cycling expedition from Bordeaux to the Alps.  In France, Nancy wasn’t a corporate manager, a mother, or someone’s girlfriend.  She was reborn into a beautiful new world—without responsibilities or expectations.

Cycling, Wine, and Men:  A Midlife Tour de France reveals an introspective journey through post-divorce dating, single parenthood, and finding happiness and independence as an unattached woman in her prime.  Nancy had thought the perfect guy would make life complete.  Instead she learned that pursuing passions and fulfilling lifelong dreams created deeper fulfillment than her latest homme parfait.  Experience the ride of a lifetime as Under the Tuscan Sun meets Sex in the City.

The current academic and financial planning definitions of ""risk"" are changing at light speed, but the notion of what constitutes ""risky"" investment strategy for informed investors is still stuck in the dark ages. Wealth management expert Kenneth Solow takes a fresh look at the investment industry's reliance on Buy-and-Hold investing, exposing the flaws and potential dangers of this investment approach in secular bear markets.

Patiently waiting for stocks to deliver historical average returns does not rise to the level of an investment strategy, according to Solow, who recommends a different approach called Tactical Asset Allocation. A provocative and thoughtful critique of the current state of the money management industry, Buy and Hold is Dead (AGAIN) is an invaluable investment guide for our financially challenging times.

Children don’t arrive with an instruction book. Raising children and providing for their physical as well as emotional needs is a difficult job for which we receive little training.

June 7, 2005, a sandstorm obscured what light lingered in Iraq’s nighttime sky as Staff Sergeant Alberto Martinez tied a claymore mine to a window grate. On the other side of the window Lt Louis Allen, a husband and father of four young boys, and his good friend and Commanding Officer Captain Phillip Esposito, a West Point graduate and father of a baby girl. The men were engaged in a board game, unwinding after a hard day, when without warning the window exploded; 700 steel ball bearings erupted from the mine and hurtled inward with lethal force, obliterating everything in their kill zone.
Martinez was arrested and tried for the murders. But the military judicial system failed, and the killer was set free.
How can American soldiers be at risk on their own base, among their fellow soldiers? Could these murders have been prevented? Will it happen again? How can the military’s judicial system have failed so drastically, and what was the government hiding from the slain soldiers’ families?  
"Front Toward Enemy" is a personal and factual account behind the scenes of a case that is to the military judicial system what the O.J. Simpson case is to the civilian judicial system.

In essence, a Roth IRA conversion requires paying taxes on the portion of your IRA or 401(k) that you convert, but then that money can grow income tax-free for the rest of your, your spouse’s, your children's and grandchildren's lives. The advantage of a tax-savvy long term Roth IRA conversion is often measured in the millions. The real eye-opener, however, is that Roth IRA conversions are great for older IRA owners, regardless of the benefits to future generations.  
"The Roth Revolution" addresses the following topics clearly and objectively:  
* Whether, how much, and when to convert
* Costs and benefits of a Roth IRA conversion
* Advice for taxpayers in each income tax bracket
* The impact of future tax increases
* Synergy of delaying (or returning) Social Security and Roth IRA conversions
* Combining charitable gifts and Roth IRA conversions
* Tax-free conversions of after-tax dollars in IRAs and retirement plans
* Converting and recharacterizing strategies

You may be asking, “Who in their right mind would pay taxes before they have to?”  The answer is James Lange and thousands of his readers and clients, all the top IRA experts, and after reading "The Roth Revolution", hopefully you too.

For the first three quarters of the twentieth century, in the heart of our nation, there thrived a safe haven which nurtured great aspirations of thousands of African American youth and their families. “The Sumner Story” highlights the history of a segregated high school which became recognized for the stellar academic performance of its students. Highly qualified faculty who believed in the students’ ability to achieve prepared them for a world of competition, hard knocks, compromises and closed doors. The story also denotes and illuminates outstanding career successes of alumni.

In a socially and economically segregated nation, black students who had a “Sumner-like” experience were very fortunate because their schools served as clear windows and powerful springboards to promising possibilities.

Every year, millions of Americans spend billions of dollars on books and programs (not to mention drugs and surgery), each claiming to offer a weight loss solution. Some will lose weight but most fail and only a very few will maintain their loss. The vast majority will gain back all the weight they lost, and then some. Why? These books and programs don’t work for one very simple reason: they don’t effectively address the emotional aspect of an unhealthy relationship with food.

Imagine a weight loss program that tells you to put your feet up and relax deeply every day for 25 minutes while you listen to your self-hypnosis recording.

Imagine that while you relax, persistent cravings become healthy habits.

Imagine that every time you listen, your cortisol levels normalize and belly fat melts away.

Emotionally every widow handles loss differently and yet there is a common bond they share that makes them part of a sisterhood. And each widow’s story provides guidance and insight into human nature and the journey of perseverance through grief.

From the Foreword by Jack Canfield, Co-author, Chicken Soup for the Soul® and The Success Principles:

“By the end of this book and your personal exploration, you will see here you wait for life to begin. You will see that all the answers you need come from within. You will learn to stop hiding your magnificence and stop jacking around. You will become, as Kristen proclaims, “a fierce disruption of the ordinary!”

Robyn Spizman, New York Times Bestselling Author and well known media personality says:

“Refreshingly vulnerable, witty and wise. Waiting for Jack feels like a conversation with your best friend over coffee. With an honest approach and take action message, Kristen Moeller motivates readers to make it happen. This book is a special gift!”  

What are you waiting for?

Do you find yourself waiting for the right moment?  The ideal relationship?  The perfect job?

Are you waiting for your “real”  life to begin?

Do think that the gifts of life are right around the corner? That one day you will arrive and everything will be okay?

Do you endlessly search, yet never seem to find?

Through the sharing of authentic personal stories and profound life lessons, Kristen Moeller explores our pervasive human tendency to wait for life and to look outside ourselves for answers.

Too often we are “Waiting for Jack”—whatever or whoever “Jack” is. So we don’t try; we give up. We sell out and we forget who we are. We are afraid to succeed, afraid to fail, and afraid to say we are afraid. But as Wayne Gretzky said, “You'll always miss one-hundred percent of the shots you don't take!”

Waiting for Jack will inspire you to get on the path, move forward and take the shot. And to remember that you don’t have to wait for Jack!

If you are a leader who wants to lead more effectively, a worker who wants to achieve more, an athlete who wants to win more, or you want better performance in all areas of your life, you need this book.
Filled with practical and innovative high-performance tools like the Emotional Spiral, the Emotional Inventory and the Emotional Caddie, You are a Contender! Build Emotional Muscle to Perform Better and Achieve More in Business, Sports and Life will teach you how to make the move from sometimes-star to consistent performer.

Clay Cole's SH-BOOM! is the pop culture chronicle of that exciting time, 1953-1968, when teenagers created their own music, from swing bands and pop to rhythm and blues, cover records, a cappella, rockabilly, folk-rock, and girl groups; from the British Invasion to the creation of the American Boy Band.
