This book, as the title implies, tackles a serious topic with a sense of fun. Baby Boomers are reaching age 65 at the rate of approximately 10,000 per day, and many worry when and even whether their investments will be able to sustain them for the rest of their lives. The field of financial planning and advice is complex: it is filled with jargon, acronyms, so-called gurus, pitches, academic theories, and a mind-boggling choice of asset classes. In this very readable book, author and Registered Investment Advisor Scott G. Eichler tackles the main concepts with clarity, humor, and personal stories from his career as a financial advisor. Scott's intent is that by the end of the book, the reader will have a deeper understanding of asset allocation, market timing, risk categories, types of advisors, threats to retirement security, portfolio allocation strategies, how advisors get paid, and the author's assessment of many of today's popular investment "gurus."

Being vegan doesn’t have to mean living off kale and quinoa, or spending your money on fancy and expensive ingredients. And it definitely doesn’t have to mean feeling limited for choices of what to eat! What if “vegan food” could mean cheesy nachos and pizza, hearty burritos, gooey spinach and artichoke dip, decadent chocolate cake or even crème brûlée? Well, it can. In Fuss-Free Vegan, Sam Turnbull shows you that “vegan” does not equal unappetizing dishes, complicated steps, ingredients you have never heard of, or even food that tastes healthy. Instead, she gives you drool-worthy yet utterly fuss-free recipes that will bring everyone together at the table, vegans and non-vegans alike, in a chorus of rave reviews. This is the cookbook Sam wishes she had when she went vegan: one that recreates and veganizes the dishes she loved most in her pre-vegan days, like fluffy pancakes and crispy bacon, cheesy jalapeño poppers and pizza pockets, creamy Caesar salad and macaroni and cheese, rich chocolate brownies and holiday-worthy pumpkin pie, to name just a few. (And there’s no hummus recipe in sight.) Say goodbye to searching endlessly around for that one special ingredient that you can't even pronounce, or cooking dishes that don’t deliver on their promise of yumminess; instead, say hello to ingredients you can pick up at your local grocery store, step-by-step techniques, and Sam’s enthusiastic voice cheering you on throughout this fun, approachable cookbook. With 101 tried-and-tested, one-of-a-kind vegan recipes for every meal, from breakfasts to lunches to dinners, and even snacks, desserts, appetizers and vegan staples, as well as handy menu plans and tips to amp up the recipes and your vegan life, Sam Turnbull and Fuss-Free Vegan are your ultimate guides in the new vegan kitchen.
