Falling Short: The Coming Retirement Crisis and What to Do About It
The United States faces a serious retirement challenge. Many of today's workers will lack the resources to retire at traditional ages and maintain their standard of living in retirement. Solving the problem is a major challenge in today's environment in which risk and responsibility have shifted from government and employers to individuals. For this reason, Charles D. Ellis, Alicia H. Munnell, and Andrew D. Eschtruth have written this concise guide for anyone concerned about their own-and the nation's-retirement security. Falling Short offers the necessary context for understanding the nature and size of the retirement income shortfall, which is caused by both increasing income needs-due to longer lifespans and rising health costs-and decreasing support from Social Security and employer-sponsored pension plans. The solutions are to work longer and save more by building on the existing retirement system. To work longer, individuals should plan to stay in the labor force until age seventy if possible. To save more, policymakers should shore up Social Security's long-term finances; make all 401(k) plans fully automatic, with workers allowed to opt out; and ensure that everyone has access to a retirement savings plan. Individuals should also recognize that their house is a source of saving, which they can tap in retirement.

Bullshift: How Optimism Bias Threatens Your Finances
Does your financial adviser tell you to hold on and never sell? That markets recover in the long run? Does your adviser seem to always have an optimistic disposition? Do they tell you not to worry, no matter what is going on in the outside world? In Bullshift, John J. De Goey explores the hidden relationship between bias and financial markets. He makes clear that investors and financial advisers are not the rational decision makers that economic theory assumes them to be, and that “tried and true” investment advice is not always sound. De Goey shows that advisers are immersed in a culture of Bullshift — they simply don’t realize how their positive outlook on markets is based on industry-wide groupthink. Unfortunately, this problem affects much more than just your own investment portfolio. After three years of an international pandemic, the full economic impact of the response to it still hasn’t been felt. There’s more pain coming, but the financial industry’s eternal optimism, abetted by government policies designed to consistently encourage growth and avoid tough choices, is walking us toward a cliff for the global economy.

Unlock Your Financial Success: Mastering Wall Street's Wealth-Building Secrets Through Smart Investi
This book is tailored for individuals looking to refine their investment strategies, assuming they already possess a basic understanding of financial concepts. Moreover, it proves pertinent for finance students seeking to explore alternative perspectives and counter-arguments to widely accepted market theories. Index funds are essentially mutual funds that mirror a specific market index, like the S&P 500. This approach has stood the test of time as one of the most effective investment strategies. This book is tailored for the investor, not the speculator. An investor seeks a stable monetary return on their portfolio, while a speculator operates more like a gambler, aiming for quick-hit profits. The concept of a 'Mastering Wall Street's Wealth-Building Secrets' suggests that past events don't dictate future outcomes. In investing, this means short-term gains and losses in the stock market are unpredictable. This contradicts the beliefs of many Wall Street professionals who assume they can outperform average returns through predictions. Financial professionals typically follow two methodologies. The majority adhere to the 'firm foundation' theory, which asserts that each stock has an intrinsic value based on measurable factors. Others subscribe to the 'castles in the air' theory, suggesting stock prices are influenced by human perception and can be charted to reveal patterns.
