Book Description
Praise For Save Now or Die Trying "Most Americans see retirement as a certainty. The problem is too many older Americans have not saved enough and too many younger Americans start too late. Mark Bruno's Save Now or Die Trying provides an actionable wake-up call for some and an important jump start for others." --Mellody Hobson, President, Ariel Capital Management, LLC/Ariel Mutual Funds You could work until the day you die. Or you could start saving just a little bit right now and actually enjoy a real retirement. You make the call. No one is picking up the tab for our retirement, no matter how many decades away it may be. The way we retire has changed, but we still have time to potentially be more secure in our retirements than any other previous generation--but only if we buy into the financial realities of our retirement right this second. With Save Now or Die Trying, you'll discover a number of retirement savings options that could net hundreds of thousands of dollars for your retirement, if you begin using them while you're still young. Written in a straightforward and accessible style, this guide will show you how to take full advantage of the most important elements of the retirement planning process--time and participation. Through practical profiles of young adults dealing with difficult financial situations and detailed discussions with scores of financial advisors about the various options available for building long-term wealth--from IRAs to 401(k)s--you'll quickly learn how to overcome the challenges of successfully saving for retirement. Whether you're just out of school or just starting a family, Save Now or Die Trying will show you how a little commitment today can translate into significant financial stability tomorrow.

A Practical Way to Get Rich . . . and Die Trying
Author: John Roa
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 198488123X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
"A scathingly honest memoir of entrepreneurship's dark reality... I would advise every entrepreneur--or anyone who dreams of becoming one--to read this book." --Eric Schurenberg - CEO, Fast Company and Inc. A young tech entrepreneur's memoir of building his hugely successful company and the mental and physical price he paid for it At the age of twenty-six, John Roa was an aspiring but struggling entrepreneur. He was broke, racking up debt, and ready to give up on his dream of being self-made. In a final effort, he founded the design firm ÄKTA, which quickly became one of the fastest growing startups in America, and just five years later, he sold it for a fortune to Salesforce, the largest company in San Francisco. This is his account of rising from a self-described below-average student to becoming a poster boy for the successful young entrepreneur, while nearly destroying himself in the process. His journey is an absurd, twisting, and often comical story of talent, luck, rapidly changing technology, larger-than-life personalities, sex, gambling, and excessive alcohol and drug consumption—which ultimately took their toll, resulting in a spectacular burnout that he almost didn’t survive. As he healed in the aftermath, he began to question the ethos that had brought him to that dark place, and over time, came to realize how common these debilitating issues are in entrepreneurship, even if they are rarely discussed openly. Rather than another glamorous rags-to-riches saga, A Practical Way to Get Rich . . . and Die Trying is a cautionary and deeply honest memoir about the price of success for ambitious young people, who are so often unprepared for the adversity, mental health issues, and abuse that can come along with “making it.” It also serves as the foundation for a campaign of honesty and vulnerability, in an industry that currently lacks both.

Get Rich Or Die Trying
Author: Steve Murphy
Publisher: Abbott Press

Book Description
Author Steve Murphy dares to step where no humorist has stepped before in his compilation of hilarious short stories, jokes, sketches, and illustrations that he is sure will either make him rich or get him killed. In these stories, Murphy satirizes a children's author as he is put on the stand and drilled about his questionable book titles by an attorney who speaks in italics; shares pick-up lines tailored for a polygamist; offers life lessons from a pee-wee football coach-a former steroid user who is not afraid of anyone; and provides proof that men really can multitask by sharing the unedited thoughts of one such man as he visualizes a better future while taking a bath. Get Rich or Die Trying captures one man's absurd sensibilities as he encourages others to share in the joy of laughter and the craziness of life.

The Way We Die Now
Author: Seamus O'Mahony
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1784974250
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
We have lost the ability to deal with death. Most of our friends and beloved relations will die in a busy hospital in the care of strangers, doctors and nurses they have known at best for a couple of weeks. They may not even know they are dying, victims of the kindly lie that there is still hope. They are unlikely to see even their family doctor in their final hours, robbed of their dignity and fed through a tube after a long series of excessive and hopeless medical interventions. This is the starting point of Seamus O'Mahoney's thoughtful, moving and unforgettable book on the western way of death. Dying has never been more public, with celebrities writing detailed memoirs of their illness, but in private we have done our best to banish all thought of dying and made a good death increasingly difficult to achieve.
