Book SynopsisMain Description: This issue opens with the story of Melania and her real estate-magnate husband, who decide to divest themselves of their entire wealth. These early Christians, who sold off their many estates and freed eight thousand slaves, were only exceptional in the amount they gave away. Jesus, after all, had advised a rich man, “Go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor.” And he emphatically warned that you cannot serve two masters: you cannot serve God and money. What does that mean for Christians today, in a society and economy premised on the accumulation of capital? How can we resist and subvert the power of money? On this theme: - Clare Coffey looks at how multilevel marketing commodifies friendship. - Sharon Rose Christner describes what happens when a Vatican palace becomes a homeless shelter. - Alastair Roberts writes in praise of Mary of Bethany’s extravagant love. - A photojournalist asks what’s left of the Cuban Revolution seventy years after it began. - Jack Bell revisits William Cobbett’s spirited defense of the vanishing British commons. - Maria Weiss finds pain and friendship in the forced community of a leper colony. - Maureen Swinger reveals the joys and pitfalls of owning twenty-two cars (collectively). - Robert Lockridge describes what he’s learned running a pay-as-you-can café. Also in the issue: - The winning poems in the 2023 Rhina Espaillat Poetry Award contest - An excerpt from Eugene Vodolazkin’s new novel, A History of the Island - Reviews of Kerri ní Dochartaigh’s Thin Places, Lydia Millet’s Dinosaurs, and Jennifer Banks’s Natality - Readings on Christianity and money from Eberhard Arnold, Peter Riedemann, Nicolai Berdyaev, Basil of Caesarea, Maria Skobtsova, C. S. Lewis, and Dorothy Day Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to apply their faith to the challenges we face. Each issue includes in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art.

Book SynopsisWinner of the 2023 EIFLE (Excellence in Financial Literacy Education) Award for Adults’ Book of the Year: Investing & Retirement Planning “A clear, concise, and wise guide to retirement planning.” – Kirkus ReviewsThe Discerning Investor addresses the critical time in your investor life cycle: your transition into retirement. Never having retired before, you may continue managing your investments as you did in your 40s and 50s, not realizing that handling finances in retirement calls for a completely different approach, one that secures 30 years with no paycheck. The Discerning Investor lays out the framework for conceptualizing a retirement portfolio, with an emphasis on anticipating and thus avoiding mistakes such as misjudging risk. Part I of the book starts with basic principles, introducing personal portfolio management and examining how to manage uncertainty, which is part of every investor's life.Part II focuses on the “personal” part of portfolio management, helping you understand your “numbers” and needs, including how to calculate your retirement income gap, how to judge the source of cash flow to fuel withdrawals, how to project future needs and how to set investment objectives and monitor progress.Part III provides insights and tools for understanding the experts who offer retirement portfolio management services, as well as for comparing firms based on their service models, with a special focus on conflicts of interest that get in the way of unbiased advice. The author’s unique perspective and expertise are particularly apparent in her detailed overview of Form CRS, a disclosure document mandated by the SEC that was rolled out in June 2020. Form CRS can help you to quickly grasp what your client experience might be like with a given brokerage or investment advisory firm.Part IV returns to personalization and offers self-assessment tools to help you flesh out your investment strategy and move from planning to action. An innovative assessment tool (Know Your Representative Rule), modeled on the brokerage industry’s Know Your Customer Rule, helps you put things into perspective based on your own personal views.The Discerning Investor gives you insights and a framework upon which to shape your own way of managing your retirement portfolio. Kirkus Reviews concludes: “Jason’s presentation is intellectually rigorous—instead of self-help-style nostrums, she furnishes concrete, actionable advice substantiated with empirical data. Moreover, despite necessary excursions into technicality, this is a thoroughly readable book that will be entirely accessible to those with a limited understanding of investment strategy.“Another of its virtues is that it never dispenses hyperbolic promises and unflinchingly confronts the reality of risk: ‘In my experience, the most satisfied investors are those who embrace the investor’s dilemma, understanding that risk (uncertainty) and reward (high returns) are forever and always intertwined.’ “Overall, this is an impressively informative book that attests to the author’s 30-plus years of experience in the financial industry.”Trade Review"Jason’s presentation is intellectually rigorous—instead of self-help-style nostrums, she furnishes concrete, actionable advice substantiated with empirical data. Moreover, despite necessary excursions into technicality, this is a thoroughly readable book that will be entirely accessible to those with a limited understanding of investment strategy. Another of its virtues is that it never dispenses hyperbolic promises and unflinchingly confronts the reality of risk: “In my experience, the most satisfied investors are those who embrace the investor’s dilemma, understanding that risk (uncertainty) and reward (high returns) are forever and always intertwined.” Overall, this is an impressively informative book that attests to the author’s 30-plus years of experience in the financial industry. . . The book concludes with self-assessment tools to build a synopsis of one’s financial health and future aspirations, and it’s a lucid, concise questionnaire that, in itself, makes this volume a worthwhile resource. ”Kirkus Reviews “Retirement is frightening, especially for those of us near—or at—retirement age, on at least three levels—it presages a potentially dramatic change in the remainder of our lives, it requires us to confront the last, or terminal, phase of our existence and, for attorneys, it forces us to recognize that we have been procrastinating about this critical subject for most of our professional lives. Now, there is a solution. Instead of continuing to procrastinate, read Julie Jason’s excellent guide, The Discerning Investor. Written with true insight, understanding and an overarching goal of helping lawyers and their clients confront a difficult topic, this book provides a wealth of information in a readable, understandable and useful format that will warm the hearts of all lawyer-procrastinators. If you read one book on retirement, this is the one, and you should read it now!”Harvey L. Pitt, former SEC Chairman;CEO of Global Business Consultancy, Kalorama Partners, LLC “As a consultant to law firms, I can give it to you straight: You’ve had a successful law career and you’ve built your nest egg. Don’t screw it up in retirement. Read The Discerning Investor for its valuable tools to help organize priorities and focus those priorities on actionable steps. Julie has her own distinct conversational voice and way of making complex concepts come alive. The tone is very direct and devoid of ‘investment-speak,’ i.e., no jargon. Every partner of every large law firm should not only read The Discerning Investor for his or her own benefit, but also provide a copy to every new partner and associate.”Peter Giuliani, Career law firm business consultant, Partner, Smock Law Firm Consultants (smocklawfirmconsultants.com).Author of Passing the Torch Without Getting Burned, ABA, 2013 “As an investment management lawyer representing investment advisers and broker-dealers servicing primarily retail investors, I have seen it all. From overreaching sales practices and unfair marketing to outright fraud. The Discerning Investor lays out the law governing the investment advice industry and will help you make one of the most difficult decisions in your life—selecting a financial institution and financial adviser to help with your investments.”Max Schatzow, Esq.,Co-founder & Partner of RIA Lawyers, LLC “As former Wall Street litigation counsel to a major broker-dealer, arbitrator, and mediator, and a life-long investor, I recommend Julie Jason’s book to lawyers who are approaching retirement. If you are—or wish to be—a ‘discerning’ investor in your retirement, this book will serve you well.”Richard P. Ryder, Esq., Founder,Securities Arbitration Commentator, Inc. “Julie Jason’s The Discerning Investor offers solid advice for retirees and pre-retirees. Julie takes much of the mystery out of personal portfolio management and helps the reader understand many of the mechanics without complexity.”Russell L. Abrahms, CPA, CPA to highly successful individuals, families and businesses for more than 25 years “Who would benefit from reading The Discerning Investor? A lawyer who wants to enjoy retirement having accumulated wealth the hard way, by working at it. There is more involved than meets the eye. It’s more than picking stocks. It’s more than working with a broker. Creating cash flow to support a lifestyle takes some time to organize. Strategy needs to be set (Chapter 7 is an eye-opener). Monitoring needs to follow. Choosing investment advisers takes some knowledge and due diligence. Freedom from conflicts of interest becomes more important. All of these factors come together in Julie Jason’s The Discerning Investor, culminating in my two favorite chapters. Chapter 14 introduces an innovative “Know Your Representative Rule.” Chapter 15 takes readers through a creative self-assessment leading to getting to know yourself better as a retirement investor. Who should read this book? I can’t think of any lawyer, young or old, who wouldn’t benefit.”Manny Bernardo (retired attorney), Former Director of Employee Benefits Tax Services for Deloitte & Touche Tristate,Benefits Specialist Attorney, and Human Resources Benefits Executive “As lawyers, we are always so busy keeping our clients on the straight and narrow that we sometimes neglect to tend our own gardens. Every good lawyer knows only too well what he or she does not know. We would never think to help our clients choose investments for their portfolios, as there are other professionals who specialize in that. But sometimes our clients want us to make recommendations. How do you pick the right investment professionals for your clients, or yourself? Too many of us rely on country club cronies, college classmates, people we meet at the gym, or (increasingly) online profiles we stumble across on social media, without even knowing if anyone’s financial future should be trusted to them. Hats off to Julie Jason for finally demystifying the process of selecting an investment adviser, using new SEC Form CRS as a guide. The Discerning Investor will help you look beyond a professional’s veneer and ferret out what is important that will help you or your client determine if he or she is the right fit. Any lawyer familiar with business due diligence will savor this book.”Cliff Ennico, lawyer, nationally syndicated columnist and author of 16 books, including The Crowdfunding Handbook (HarperCollins 2016) “In The Discerning Investor, Julie Jason helps readers cut through the noise and hazards of investing and retirement planning. The issue for many is that we are overloaded with news of each day’s market fluctuations and experts’ opinions on how the day’s economic and political events contributed. Julie Jason explains why smart investors take a steady, measured, long term approach. She walks us through important decisions and identifies pitfalls that can cause us to veer off course. For those interested in ways to measure portfolio composition and performance, she explains analytical tools professionals use. She lucidly describes the proper role and responsibility of financial advisers and provides a guide for finding the right financial firm and individual. It is never too early to think about retirement planning. The Discerning Investor is a road map to long term retirement planning success that everyone should read.”Clifford Alexander, Partner, K&L Gates “Julie Jason’s The Discerning Investor meticulously explains the various issues that must be considered when formulating a successful financial retirement plan. From identifying one’s goal to the various options for achieving those goals, Julie has clearly articulated what one must consider with or without a financial advisor. For the uninformed, her words are informative when deciding whether or not they need a financial adviser and, if one is needed, what one should expect from an adviser upon which great reliance and trust will lie.”Jay Sandak, Partner, Carmody, Torrance, Sandak & Hennessey LLP “Selecting the right financial professional can be challenging, but new SEC disclosures are now available. Julie Jason uses her extensive knowledge and experience to highlight the key topics and questions to bring up when meeting with a current or prospective financial professional. This book provides you with the framework for determining whether that professional is right for you, or is someone you should avoid.”Charles Rotblut, CFA, V.P., American Association of Individual Investors, Editor of the AAII Journal, Author of Better Good than Lucky: How Savvy Investors Create Fortune with the Risk-Reward Ratio (Traders Press 2010) “Preparation helps avoid pitfalls. Julie Jason offers the reader a dose of “virtual valium” through stock market history and practical recommendations to help stop the nervous investor from allowing their emotions to become their retirement portfolio’s worst enemy.”Sam Stovall, Chief Investment Strategist, CFRA Research, Author of The Seven Rules of Wall Street: Crash-Tested Investment Strategies That Beat the Market (McGraw-Hill Education 2009)

Book SynopsisThe term “wealth management” doesn’t only apply to wealthy people. You don’t have to be wealthy to start managing wealth; you can start growing it now from right where you stand. Too many people don’t understand the roles and responsibilities of financial advisors or financial planners and therefore fail to take advantage of opportunities to grow their wealth. Some financial advice books are too complicated, and others are a little too basic, but this book aims to give you the tools and education to think properly about your money, to identify who should be on your financial team, and to offer insights into what each of them should deliver. Wealth management can be complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. Echo Huang is a rare find when it comes to wealth management. She advocates for more women to get into the wealth management industry as well as for people to start financial planning at much younger ages. In her book, you’ll discover: · How to simplify financial planning · How to create your financial independence day · 5 Steps to bullet proof your investment portfolio · How to create a money management dream team · Tax strategies, estate planning, long term care and charitable giving strategies that generate more wealth for you · What things to think about if you are an immigrant managing your portfolio in the U.S. Own Your Future is the story of how a poor immigrant came to live the American dream and how you can too. It’s a story of dreams manifested as a result of the guidance offered by the author’s seven core principles: daring to dream, being adaptable, respecting education, setting goals, utilizing smart and deliberate planning to achieve success, seizing opportunities when they arise, and benefiting from the wisdom of others. Based on the author’s twenty-five years of experience in the trenches, not just of investment management but also of private and public accounting, this book educates the reader about wealth management and offers useful tools that can be used to make our financial lives more organized. Echo Huang pulls back the curtain on the wealth management profession as a whole and shows you how to make it work for you, as well as whom and what to trust, who should be on your team, and how they should be working together in a holistic way to help you reach your financial independence day.

Book SynopsisNO ONE MAGIC HAMMER Keeping your wealth doesn’t mean using one tool—one financial product—to solve every problem. In It’s Your Wealth—Keep It: The Definitive Guide to Growing, Protecting, Enjoying, and Passing On Your Wealth, John Smallwood shares how financial plans should have seven fundamental goals: 1. Reduce taxes by taking advantage of all deductions. 2. Reduce risk by limiting volatility with diversified asset classes and types of stocks. 3. Reduce fees and costs by identifying and dealing with leaks in your plan. 4. Increase your savings rate to 15 percent or more of your income and have half your annual income in liquid savings for immediate access. 5. Increase your retirement income by maximizing participation in company retirement plans and having whole life insurance. 6. Put more benefits and protection around your wealth by maximizing life, disability, long-term care, and other types of coverage. 7. Pass more money on to the family by employing wills and trusts. Once developed, your plan should be reviewed and updated on an annual basis to ensure a more predictable financial future. It’s a long-term approach to wealth creation and preservation that meets your demands, desires, and needs in a continually changing economic environment.

In More Life Than Money , Saccaro does this by using examples to showcase the importance of making informed decisions and how not knowing can be detrimental to your family’s future.

Maybe you have debt (hellooo student loans + credit cards). You feel like you’ll always be playing catch up. Maybe you’ve tried to get help before, tried to budget, followed traditional advice… but it just doesn’t work for you. You’re stressed and overwhelmed, feeling stuck because you don’t know where things went wrong.The bad news first. The advice that worked for our parents doesn’t work for us. Times have changed. The average person in their 20s has racked up $23,872 in debt, and this number jumps to $62,658 in their 30s. And it gets worse: 79% who budget fail 54% live from paycheck-to-paycheck 80% of us are in debt 40% can't handle a $400 unexpected expense 64% don’t have enough money to retire Now, the good news. Maybe for you, money has always seemed complicated. Maybe you believe that because you’re not good with math, you couldn’t be good with money. But, to be good with money and build wealth, you don’t need to be good at math, you don’t need to be born rich, and you don’t need a 6 figure salary.Learn the money management rules that enabled Nicole to: Pay off $40,000 of debt in 18 months Pay for her wedding in cash Save her first $100k by 25 Feel financially stable enough for kids Build $500k net worth in her 20s If you’ve read books like Financial Feminist, Broke Millennial, or My Money My Way, then you’ll want to read More Money Now.Trade Review“More Money Now goes where most financial education books don't—Nicole Victoria actually provides actionable insights and monetary suggestions, while tackling the taboo subject of subconscious beliefs surrounding money. I believe this book is going to help people from every walk of life.” —Alexandra Fasulo, author of Freelance Your Way to Freedom“In a world filled with finance bros and out-of-touch academics, Nicole’s self-made story and empathetic approach cuts through the noise. Instead of wagging a finger from an ivory tower, Nicole gets right at the heart of our failed relationship with money. I had a ‘mind blown’ moment when she described how our money mindset is shaped by the age of seven and rarely ever relearned. Slapping a budget-band-aid on that innate issue rarely results in lasting improvement. If you’re ready to change your relationship with money and start building serious wealth, More Money Now will show you how.” —Jeremy Schneider, retired at 36, founder of Personal Finance Club“This book is an eye opener. More Money Now will absolutely change your psychology around money. In a world of job insecurity and high inflation, the information presented in this book is important now more than ever.
