Life Insurance Solutions for Financial & Retirement Planning (Take It to the Next Level) (Take It to the Next Level)

Life Insurance Solutions for Financial & Retirement Planning (Take It to the Next Level) (Take It to the Next Level) Customer Review: Not A Book For Insurance Salespersons
The aim of this pint size book is to skill-up insurance salespersons. Instead, it is a handbook for consumers to talk the talk of insurance. Had I read the description of this book closer, I might have picked up on it’s diminutive size, small page count and shortness on sales education.

FULBRIGHTERS IN RETIREMENT

FULBRIGHTERS IN RETIREMENT “For a gerontologist, this memoir is a revelation. Written by the Freeds at almost 90, it reveals sustained energy, acuity, and curiosity and describes an enviable rewarding and stimulating way of life. Their story of joint remarkable lives, with its inimitable style, plethora of ideas, and humor, is a history of Bulgarian culture and openness, exemplified by the unique saving of their 50,000 Jews from the Nazis.” Frances Portnoy, Prof. Emer. of Gerontology and Nursing, University of Massachusetts at Boston, Bedford, MA. “The Freeds present a powerful testament to the Fulbright Program’s great contribution to amity among nations. They are singular devoted citizen-diplomats working effectively outside traditional statecraft.” Alan Schechter, Ph.D., Former Chair, J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, Wellesley, MA.

The Immigration Handbook: For Work, Investment, Study, and Retirement in the U.S.A.

The Immigration Handbook: For Work, Investment, Study, and Retirement in the U.S.A. The Immigration Handbook is a handy, affordable guide to to the U.S. immigration legal system. While similar books tend to regurgitate complex regulations, this handbook simplifies the subject in easy-to-read, accessible language, while providing a practical approach to immigration. It takes readers from entry to the U.S. as a businessperson, tourist or student through the immigration processing maze all the way to citizenship:

Five ways to obtain a green card
Details for applying for all visa categories
Appropriate strategies for the visa process
Practical hints/How to choose the proper visa category
An “insiders” look at how U.S. laws may change.
Easy-to-understand explanations of INS and Consular visa processing, immigrant and non immigrant visa processing, changes of status, extensions, citizenship and tax obligations.
Customer Review: Good overview
This book is a good overview of all USA visas available to the prospective immigrant. Doesn’t bog the reader down with too much detail, but it is good for a first look at how a person might be able to live and work in the USA. Also has some useful case studies to clarify certain points and allows reader to make a good comparison between routes into the US.
Customer Review: Good overview, but short on specifics for me
This is a good introduction to the topic of immigration to the United States, but it didn’t provide enough depth for me. I think this is a limitation of the subject matter, more than just this book. Immigration issues are so broad-ranging that it would be impossible to cover them all in a short book. Specifically I was looking for details on TN visas; they’re covered, but not enough for me. This would be a good book to use as a jumping-off point to find further information.

Vacation Retirement & Leisure Home Plans

Vacation Retirement & Leisure Home Plans Providing Blueprints for the American Dream Since 1907. Special Log Home Section. Featuring 300 Plans from Our Platinum & Gold Designer Network. Most trustworthy! — More homes have been built from Garlinghouse plans than from any other publisher.
Customer Review: Strong on leisure….
This book had some excellent plans for larger “leisure” homes. It didn’t have much in what I consider the smaller vacation home category. I only found a couple of plans that would have been suitable for a small lakeside cottage/ski cabin. If you’re looking for a more relaxed plan for a regular size house, this could be your book. But if you’re looking for smaller homes, I would recommend the Sunset “Vacation Home Plans” book.

This Old Man and the Sea: How My Retirement Turned Into a Ten-Year Sail Around the World

This Old Man and the Sea: How My Retirement Turned Into a Ten-Year Sail Around the World

Shortly after his retirement, author Robert S. Ashton buys a 1983 Nordic 40 sailboat. He names the boat Chandelle, not realizing at the time that it will be his home for the next ten years.

Along with his friends, Don, Roger, and Martha, Ashton soon joins a group of boats preparing to brave the Gulf Stream and adjacent waters from Norfolk, Virginia, to the Caribbean. During the next ten years, “Captain” Ashton sails to numerous destinations in his quest to circumnavigate the globe, including the Panama Canal, the Galapagos Islands, the Fiji Islands, Africa, and Australia. Ashton meets an eclectic group of people, experiences a variety of cultures, finds new members for his crew, and discovers the freedom of sailing the open waters.

This Old Man and the Sea is a must-read for any sailing enthusiast, revealing the highs and lows of extended life at sea with wit, wisdom, and insight.

Customer Review: More content
I enjoyed the book although I would have liked a little more detail on costs along the way and more detailed charts. I would recommend this book to anyone thinking about sailinng around the world.

Your Bookkeeping STINKS! Why It’s Killing Your Business and Wrecking Your Plans for Retirement

Your Bookkeeping STINKS! Why It’s Killing Your Business and Wrecking Your Plans for Retirement Your Bookkeeping STINKS! is the book that should have been included with your bookkeeping software. Absorb secrets from a finance pro to put an end to poor bookkeeping practices that may be putting your business AND your retirement in jeopardy!
Customer Review: Reviewed by Tom Beauchamp
The world is filled with accounting books. It is easy to find books on paying your taxes and balancing your checkbook. There are even books that introduce you to double-entry accounting. Understanding these books, however, is hardly ever easy. Rare is the book that is written to be understood by the average business owner. Luckily, “Your Bookkeeping Stinks!” is one of those rare gems that is both informative and easy to read, even if you are not a CPA.

Gregory is experienced at working with the owners of small businesses. This is evident in the simple and to the point topics that he covers in this 50 page book. You will not find a lot of “How-To’s” in this book. What is covered are the many pitfalls and time sinks that many new (and old) business owners find themselves caught in time after time.

The book is broken down in to 21 “Stinkers”. These topics range from balancing your checkbook to how to prevent fraud from occurring within your business. Gregory has even included a checklist at the back of the book to help readers ensure that all the “Stinkers” have been cleared from their business. The book also includes an appendix with a list of monthly reports to help business owners understand the health of their business.

I have two problems with “Your Bookkeeping Stinks!” First, it is too short. At only 50 pages, it is easily read in one sitting and just as easily forgotten. Second, at times is reads like a QuickBooks advertisement. The solution for a “Stinker” is most often, “Get good accounting software, like QuickBooks.”

However, these shortcomings aside, “Your Bookkeeping Stinks!” sets itself apart from the pack of self-help accounting books by ease of reading, and well categorized content. Scott Gregory’s “Your Bookkeeping Stinks!” is a good book for someone who wants to understand the world of accounting without being an accountant.
