When you want to change your lifestyle entirely, you need to have enough motivation but you also need to have knowledge about the lifestyle that you are adopting. Many people who want to live in an RV full-time fail to find a balance in their lives which make that living pleasurable, while others can live the dream and learn to compromise on comforts for the sake of freedom. They wake up in the mornings to feel that they have breathed fresh air. They see different scenery every morning if they so wish. What you need to know before joining them is whether you’re cut out for the lifestyle and what differences there are between living in a conventional home and living in an RV. This book bridges that gap in your knowledge, and although you may choose to save a fortune by staying at home, you may also choose the lesser travelled road and discover the benefits of living in an RV. Both lifestyles, either in an RV or a home, have their pros and cons. Many who choose the RV lifestyle find that adapting their lives comes naturally. It takes a unique and free spirited person to compromise on the luxuries of home living in favor of the adventurous lifestyle offered by RV living, though many do. Once you weigh the pros and cons, you can make the choice wisely, and that’s what this book is all about. The book will appeal to the free spirited who seek something more than merely surviving month to month oppressed by mortgage payments and housing taxes. Both have benefits, though those who live the life they choose, rather than the life chosen for them by responsibility, find that RV life tests their personal boundaries and skills freeing up their lives to live beyond the grid. Journey with us and learn if living in an RV will suit you, and be prepared for the journey of your life.

This is the inside story of private equity dealmaking.

Over the last 40 years, LBO fund managers have demonstrated that they are good at making money for themselves and their investors. But when one looks beneath the surface of the transactions they engineer, it is apparent that these deals can, at times, go spectacularly wrong.

Through 14 business stories, all emanating from the noughties’ credit bubble and including headline-grabbing names like Caesars, Debenhams, EMI, Hertz, Seat Pagine Gialle and TXU, The Debt Trap shows how, via controversial practices like quick flips, repeat dividend recaps, heavy cost-cutting and asset-stripping, leveraged buyouts changed, for better or for worse, the way private companies are financed and managed today.

From technological disruption in the worlds of music recording and business-directory publishing to economic turbulence in the gambling, real estate and energy sectors, highly levered corporations are often incapable of handling market corrections when debt commitments start piling up. Behind the historical events and the financial empires erected by some of the elite private equity specialists, these 14 in-depth case studies examine how value-maximising techniques and a short-cut mentality can impact investment returns and portfolio assets.

Whether you are a PE practitioner, investor, business manager, academic or business student, you will find The Debt Trap to be an authoritative and fascinating account.

Have you ever struggled with debt? Wait. Let me rephrase that question. Do you live in America? Did you once believe that 90 days was the same as cash? Me, too. Broke chronicles my climb out of the financial hole I dug. (By the way, you should only dig holes if you plan on filling them with treasure.) Along the way, I discovered that my debt didn’t just reflect my bad decisions. It was a spiritual issue, “for where your treasure is there your heart will also be.” Apparently, my heart was in overdraft. Broke will shine some funny hope into your messy money life. This book is for the days you feel like giving up, encouraging you to take a step closer to being debt-free. People want to know if other people are as dumb as they are – and thankfully, I am. And if I can climb out of debt, you can, too.

For the past forty years western economies have splurged on debt. Now, as the reality dawns that many debts cannot be repaid, we find ourselves again in crisis. But the oncoming defaults have a time-worn place in our economic history. As with the crises in the 1930s and 1970s, governments will fall, currencies will lose their value, and new systems will emerge. Just as Britain set the terms of the international system in the nineteenth century, and America in the twentieth century, a new system will be set by today’s creditors in China and the Middle East. In the process, rich will be pitted against poor, young against old, public sector workers against taxpayers and one country against another.

In Paper Promises, Economist columnist Philip Coggan helps us to understand the origins of this mess and how it will affect the new global economy by explaining how our attitudes towards debt have changed throughout history, and how they may be about to change again.

The success stories speak for themselves in this book from money maestro Dave Ramsey. Instead of promising the normal dose of quick fixes, Ramsey offers a bold, no-nonsense approach to money matters, providing not only the how-to but also a grounded and uplifting hope for getting out of debt and achieving total financial health.

Ramsey debunks the many myths of money (exposing the dangers of cash advance, rent-to-own, debt consolidation) and attacks the illusions and downright deceptions of the American dream, which encourages nothing but overspending and massive amounts of debt. “Don’t even consider keeping up with the Joneses,” Ramsey declares in his typically candid style. “They’re broke!”

The Total Money Makeover isn’t theory. It works every single time. It works because it is simple. It works because it gets to the heart of the money problems: you.

• a guide to getting out of debt

What grade would you give your parents for how well they prepared you to manage your finances? What grade will your kids give you someday? At best you have 18 years to teach your kids how to manage money skillfully. So how do you accomplish this overwhelming challenge? Don’t panic! Everything you need to get the job done is right here in this book. Think it’s too late to debt-proof your kids? It’s only too late if you don’t start NOW!

In the early 1990s we experienced a recession not quite as bad as the great recession of 2012 but painful for many nonetheless. Back then I did live radio five nights a week on this one subject (credit repair) broadcast out of Miami. The program, like this book, was called Credit Warfare and focused each night on a new credit repair or debt collection issue.

Many people listened nightly on their ride home from work. It was the highest rated program on AM radio during drive time because so many people needed help. Doctors, lawyers, judges, secretaries, police officers, nurses, truck drivers etc… listened to Credit Warfare and used the information to pull their lives back together.

A superior court judge became a federal judge. A police lieutenant became a captain. Others got new jobs and started businesses. They were now able to get the best rates on insurance, homes, cars, credit cards and so on because they were trained to handle their credit repair / debt collection issues themselves.

Today more than 61 million Americans have bad credit with another 30 – 40 million classified as bruised to sub-prime. I knew things were getting bad back in 2007 when I started receiving emails from those who listened to me on the radio or came to seminars 15 years earlier asking for help again.

As was the case then, you can re-take control of your financial life without a credit repair company, credit counseling or in most cases an attorney. You can stop the creditors, collectors and lawyers with little effort and regain some sense of serenity in very short order if you know what your rights are and how to enforce them.You truly can remove any negative information from your credit report on your own legally with minimal time invested.

Credit Warfare will provide you with the knowledge you need backed up with legal references, resources, a plan of action and step by step instruction to deal with any credit or debt collection issue regardless of whether you are a novice or experienced consumer. Most importantly Credit Warfare will help you sleep at night knowing you have the power to fix the issues at hand and protect yourself from any further attacks.
