Stephen M. Pollan Boeken

From America's most trusted financial advisor comes a comprehensive guide to a new and utterly sane financial choice. In Die Broke, you'll learn that life is a game where the loser gives his money to Uncle Sam at the end. There are four steps to the process:Quit TodayNo, don't tell your boss to shove it...at least not out loud. But in your head accept that from this day on you're a free agent whose number one workplace priority is your personal bottom line.Pay CashYou should be as conscious of spending as you are of saving. Credit should be a rarely used tool for those few times (buying homes and cars) when paying cash is impossible.Don't RetireYour work life should be a journey up and down hills, rather than a climb up a sheer cliff that ends with a jump into the abyss.Die BrokeIt sounds terrifying, the one intolerable outcome to your financial life. And yet, in truth, dying broke might be your best option for a life without fear: fear of failure and privation now, fear of impoverishment in the long run.

In his recent national bestseller, <em>Die Broke,</em> Stephen Pollan introduced a radical new strategy for spending and saving money in today's unpredictable financial environment. The natural result of <em>Die Broke</em>--indeed the reason to die broke in the first place--is the subject of this new volume. If <em>Die Broke</em> is about how we spend, save, and invest our money, <em>Live Rich</em> is the other side of the equation, the earning side of things. In it, Stephen Pollan shares the compelling observation that living rich has less to do with new worth or income stream and everything to do with <em>freedom.</em> The most powerful form of financial freedom comes from working for yourself (whoever your boss may be). <em>Live Rich</em> says all that's standing in your way of earning enough to live the life of your dreams is your relationship to money. Act rationally rather than emotionally when it comes to your income, and you'll find money <em>can</em> buy you happiness. The four tenets of the <em>Live Rich</em> philosophy, simply stated, are: <strong>Make Money.</strong> Too many of us have been fed the line that "work isn't necessarily about making money." Tell that to Visa next time they send you a bill. <strong> Don't grow, change.</strong> Be ready to change your work paradigm on a moment's notice, to morph from career to career several times as conditions--and you--change. <strong>Take Charge.</strong> In the twenty-first century, you must become proactive and start taking measured risks. <strong>Become a mercenary.</strong> Think for yourself as a free agent, responsible for your own security and always on the lookout for the next great job. <em>Live Rich</em> provides an explanation of Stephen Pollan's radical workplace philosophy as well as a detailed A to Z action plan--from "accountants" and "advertisement" to "Web sites" and "working capital"--that allows readers to apply the philosophy to every facet of their working loves and truly <em>Live Rich.</em>
