How to Speak Money (PDF)

Do you speak money? You should. It is the world's most
important language. It's spoken everywhere. Speaking--or
at least understanding--this language allows you to follow the
real conversations in politics, business, and at work.
Understanding money and speaking the language fluently is critical
to preparing for a comfortable retirement, building a small
business, planning for college and a career for your children.
Everyone speaks it differently, with different dialects. Some are
riskier than others. Some want to save their money; others want to
see it grow. There is no one accent, but understanding the
differences will make couples, business partners, and coworkers
happier--and wealthier. Authors and CNN financial experts Ali
Velshi and Christine Romans speak the global language of money and
translate it every day for hundreds of thousands of viewers. And
they are here to teach you, too. It's easier to learn than
you might think.

Speaking money affects every area of your life. It's more
than simply your savings or the investments you may have. It
involves the way you think about money, the way you teach your
children about it, and the way you were taught about it yourself.
It's about the way you spend it, save it, invest it, use it,
need it and want it. The book will:

* Shed light on the male and female spending and investing
disparity

* Discuss emerging international economies

* Weigh the financial hurdle of student debt culminating in a
successful job

* Explain how to budget wisely and build wealth

* Show how to plan appropriately for retirement

How to Speak Money is an easy-to-read, practical book
that helps readers become fluent in the world's most
universal language.
