?A superb introduction to the necessary financial planning no American over 40 can afford to ignore. Publishers Weekly? It s time for many individual investors to make some hard choices. Baby Boomers are learning to deal with the fact that they really can't have it all-at least not all at once. Retirementology is a great guide to helping them think through their plans for living, saving, and spending. Marion Asnes, Editor in Chief, Financial Planning magazine? Retirementology applies behavioral finance to retirement planning and finds we all could be doing a lot better when it comes to making decisions about retirement. But don't despair: Not only does Dr. Salsbury crisply describe our self-destructive financial behavior, he offers much more-namely, ways we can improve financial decisions. The book is a real contribution to both behavioral finance and the field of retirement planning. David Adler, author of Snap Judgment? Retirementology is an entertaining, yet sobering, journey through the cognitive errors and social biases harming our current and future lifestyles. Dr. Salsbury s book is not just for retirees or those soon to retire-the earlier you read it, the better you can live! John Nofsinger, Ph.D, Associate Professor of Finance, Washington State University, and author of The Psychology of Investing Looking ahead to retirement? Depending on your circumstances and your age, you may no longer have any margin for error. And your emotions and irrational behavior could be perpetuating a dangerous cycle of overspending and rising debt that may shatter whatever vision of retirement you still have. Welcome to the world of Retirementology. Retirementology bridges retirement planning with investor psychology and the market Meltdown of 2008 to produce an entirely new way of thinking about how we spend, how we save, how we borrow, and how we invest. Financial mistakes are deeply rooted in human nature, but you may be able to overcome them-if you understand the breakthrough principles of behavioral economics and apply them in your own retirement planning. Dr. Gregory Salsbury identifies some of the classic cognitive biases and behavioral mistakes most of us keep making when it comes to retirement planning. For example: Why will people drive 45 minutes to use a $2.00 coupon? Why won't people sell a poor performing stock just because they inherited it from grandma? Why do people spend differently with a credit card than they do with cash? Why do people believe that they paid no income taxes because they received a refund? Y ou ll learn why the financial meltdown has amplified the impact of these all-too-human cognitive mistakes and discover ideas for addressing them. The bottom line for your bottom line is that retirement can no longer be ignored, viewed as a single event, relegated to a? zone,? or romanticized. Instead, you must understand how every spending and financial decision you make from here on can impact the way you will spend your golden years. Retirementology attempts to help you do just that. Retirement planning: right brain versus left brain Why these different areas of the brain impact financial decisions-and what to do about it It s real money! De-layering? your finances How to overcome the psychological tricks that separate you from your money Family matters: managing financial support decisions for your extended family Choosing between your family or your retirement Get? long-term smart? How longevity, inflation, volatility, and your own expectations impact your retirement goals

Discounts are no longer the exception, they're the norm. But is that bargain really a bargain? Paying full price is so pass. A quarter of the population will only open their wallets if something is on sale. Everyone wants a deal, a steal, a hookup with a discount or a way to cut costs. People don't only want a deep discount, they expect it and won't settle for anything less. They're lucky, then, that almost half of everything sold in America is listed at some kind of promotional price. It's a seismic shift that has made shoppers more savvy than ever, generating phenomena like extreme couponing, flash sales, and Groupon. So there's never been a better time to be a buyer, right? Perhaps. Sellers have developed their own tricks to protect profit margins amid such markdown maniaones that include secret sales, shifting prices, and shredding perfectly good clothes. In this playful, deeply researched book, journalist Mark Ellwood takes a trip into this new landscape. He shows how some people are, quite literally, born to be bargain junkies thanks to a quirk of their DNA, and uncovers the sales-driven sleights of hand that sellers employ to hoodwink unsuspecting buyers. Ellwood takes us from the floor of upscale department store Bergdorf Goodman to the bustling aisles of a Turkish bazaar, from the outlet Disney world of rural Pennsylvania to a town in Florida that can claim to be couponing's spiritual capital. We meet savvy buyers trying to wring value from every centstalking fashion editors' tweets to learn about sample sales or camping out overnight for a cut-price computer. Ellwood also uncovers the dark side of discounting: how organized crime steals coupons en masse and how certain boutiques limit discounts to VIPs, running secret sticker promotions from which the ordinary shopper is excluded. Bargain Fever is a manual for thriving in this new era, when deal hunting has gone from being a sign of indigence to one of intelligence. There's never been a better time to be a buyerat least if you know how the game works.

Since its earliest days, cinema has been the world's shop window for fashion. In the darkened emporium, British Path Cinemagazines initially focussed on the Parisian modes, but by the 1940's the emphasis was equally on the home grown fashions. From the ground-breaking glamour now synonymous with that era to the plight of war-time women trying to make the most of their clothing coupons, Path Cinemagazines captured it all. This is the definitive collection of those newsreels and reports presented on DVD for the very first time. 'Service Into Civvies' explores how much (and what) a Wren can buy with her demob money and 'Something Borrowed' is a bittersweet story about women having to borrow their wedding dresses from the British War Relief fund. 'Make Do And Mend' items include a demonstration of how to make a swimsuit from face towels and a great film showing how to make a jaunty hat from one of your hubby's old ones. There is also a wonderful film demonstrating how to create the perfect turban - essential 1940's headgear. Another item discusses the very real wartime worry of how ladies can get their hands on some decent nylons. 'Export Figures Revealed' deals with the export trade in British lingerie items - a good excuse to see ladies in their underwear on the catwalk! 'Mainly For Women' looks at Britain's supremacy in the new synthetic fabrics. For Path, during the 40s, the emphasis was definitely on how the ordinary woman in the street could make the most of her clothing coupons by making things herself, mending things she already had and buying clothes for practical durability.

The 40 "recipes" in this book are extremely simple, and basically provide some food for thought. All the rest of the ingredients - all of the flavor, fun, and spices - all of the dreams, and goals, they're already on your shelf, or better yet - they lie waiting to be discovered. Bricolage is an under-appreciated word for this approach of making due with what you've got on hand. It comes from the French verb bricoler, meaning "fiddle, tinker" and, "to make creative and resourceful use of whatever materials are at hand (regardless of their original purpose)". While planning is important, each day inevitably deals us unexpected surprises, large and small. How well we improvise, adapt, stay flexible, and try entirely new approaches can make all the difference between a stressful disappointing day and an extraordinary one. How much will following these recipes cost? How much time will you have to spend? How far will you have to travel to pick up any special ingredients? The answer depends: Just how hungry are you? So, it's time to get cooking. Get out your calendar and circle 40 days from today. (Just 5 weeks + 5). A lot can happen in 40 days. A lot will happen in the next 40 days, so don't be distracted by the avalanche of news. The news is almost always always a thin and bitter gruel. So drop the Facebook, CNN, Twitter, eMail, Dancing With Stars, House Hunter, Extreme Couponing routine for a while. They will still be there when (if) you return. You've got work to do! The time has come to make your own news. Great and delicious days await!

It s hard to overstate how big a year it was for Mr. Mason. His company went public, he became a billionaire, and the daily-coupon-deals phenomenon he pioneered has seemingly swept the nation. -Andrew Ross Sorkin, The New York Times DealBook, January 2, 2012 Groupon s Biggest Deal Ever is the exclusive, behind-the-scenes account of the incredible rise of discount coupon giant Groupon and the compelling story of its offbeat founder, Andrew Mason, as he created a juggernaut of online commerce and ignited a consumer revolution that is disrupting how people shop all over the world. Love him for saving you 50 percent on last night s Indian dinner or hate him for cashing in big when he could be losing millions for merchants and investors alike, Mason-Groupon s thirtysomething founder and CEO-made an incredible gamble when he turned down Google s $6 billion buyout offer to go it alone. The experts thought he was insane. Groupon was little more than two years old and staffed from top to bottom with twentysomethings. The wild ride couldn t last, but Mason thought otherwise, and with dreams of a potential IPO that could be massive, he liked his odds. But did he make the right decision, or did he blow a chance to continue to grow the fastest growing company in history? Is Mason an Internet genius, or is he sitting on another bubble that could burst at any moment? While everyone has an opinion on Groupon, Frank Sennett has written the only inside account. With exclusive access, interviews, and documents that no one outside of the company has seen or been able to report on, Groupon s Biggest Deal Ever has every twist and turn from start-up to IPO and is the real story of Mason s audacious gamble and the meteoric rise of Groupon from start-up to $16.7 billion online giant.
