Wallet Activism challenges you to rethink your financial power so can feel confident spending, earning, and saving money in ways that align with your values. While we call the American system a democracy, capitalism is the far more powerful force in our lives. The greatest power we have—especially when political leaders won’t move quickly enough—is how we use our money: where we shop, what we buy, where we live, what institutions we entrust with our money, who we work for, and where we donate determines the trajectory of our society and our planet. While our votes and voices are essential, too, Wallet Activism helps you use your money for real impact. It can feel overwhelming to determine “the right way” to spend: a choice that might seem beneficial to the environment may have unintended consequences that hurt people. And marketers are constantly lying to you, making it hard to know what choice is best. Wallet Activism empowers us to vote with our wallets by making sense of all the information coming at us, and teaching us to cultivate a more holistic mindset that considers the complex, interrelated ecosystems of people and the planet together, not as opposing forces. From Tanja Hester, Our Next Life blogger and author of Work Optional, comes the mindset-shifting guide to help you put your money where your values are. Wallet Activism is not a list of dos and don’ts that will soon become outdated, nor does it call for anti-consumerist perfection. Instead, it goes beyond simple purchasing decisions to explore: The impacts a financial decision can have across society and the environment How to create a personal spending philosophy based on your values Practical questions to quickly assess the “goodness” of a product or an entity you may buy from The ethics of earning money, choosing what foods to eat, employing others, investing responsibly, choosing where to live, and giving money away For anyone interested in leaving the world better than you found it, Wallet Activism helps you build habits that will make your money matter.

It's about time a book about investing and foreign exchange is honest with its readers. Most books on the market today, be they about stocks, commodities, foreign exchange (Forex) or just investing in general - often lead the reader to believe that in a few short steps they too can make millions with little-to-no effort. Unfortunately this is rarely true but the true crime is the lack of goal setting within the pages of these other books. Growing The Money Tree is different - it does not aim to make the reader a millionaire, but rather shows them why they don't need to be a millionaire to be happy. Financial freedom is a lot closer than people may realize and Growing The Money Tree aspires to show the reader how close they really are. Growing The Money Tree covers budgeting, goal setting, income analysis, a gentle introduction to the Forex market and the author's own tale of how he started trading the Forex, his trials and tribulations and how he came to understand the concept of growing my own money tree. The book includes some trading strategies that the author has developed over the years using a form of artificial intelligence known as genetic algorithms for those interested in a more advanced approach. The book wasn't written to make millionaires, it was written to share the author's experiences from trading the Forex over the past 12 years in order to show that through diversification and some simple money management, people can find financial freedom much sooner. Some testimonials the book has received include: "I'm not an experienced trader, but this book has a very interesting approach to teaching you about Forex trading, especially if you're into programming. I loved how the author first goes through a 20-day trading example instead of just showing you how to read charts and interpret indicators from them, to later go through the idea of using Genetic Algorithms to automate trading. He even gives an example using code to better understand these types of algorithms. Apart from that, he doesn't try to sell you anything, and reminds you that you should never invest everything into a single thing (ie. diversify your money ), finally telling you a little bit about how he began trading and what rookie mistakes you should avoid. Definitely worth a read." -- Ian M. "Growing the Money Tree is more than a book about FOREX. It's an introduction to investing in your financial future. As a new FOREX investor, I appreciated the well rounded approach, though there are other books that go deeper into specific subjects. I liked the melding of the FOREX market and algorithmic trading which I have not seen in other books. I did feel that the book had a Canadian perspective, though that did not interfere with the contents of the book. I especially liked the 20 Days of Trading which confirmed I was on the right track with my own experiences." -- Scott S. By reading Growing The Money Tree today, you get one step closer to realizing your own financial freedom by coming to terms with how close it actually is. The dream of vast wealth is still an amicable one, but finding happiness by breaking the work cycle can be found before this wealth is achieved. Growing The Money Tree is not a get-rich-quick scheme nor does it promise vast amounts of wealth. Instead it focuses on coming to terms with monthly expenses, investment diversification, foreign exchange trading and a touch of artificial intelligence for the curious. By including a few chapters about the author's own personal journey he offers an insight to those who are new to the idea of taking control of their investments and help them avoid the trials he faced himself, both financially and psychologically, over the past 12 years. Happy growing

"In the dark, bewildering, trap-infested jungle of misinformation and opaque riddles that is the world of investment, JL Collins is the fatherly wizard on the side of the path, offering a simple map, warm words of encouragement and the tools to forge your way through with confidence. You'll never find a wiser advisor with a bigger heart." -- Malachi Rempen: Filmmaker, cartoonist, author and self-described ruffian This book grew out of a series of letters to my daughter concerning various things-mostly about money and investing-she was not yet quite ready to hear. Since money is the single most powerful tool we have for navigating this complex world we've created, understanding it is critical. "But Dad," she once said, "I know money is important. I just don't want to spend my life thinking about it." This was eye-opening. I love this stuff. But most people have better things to do with their precious time. Bridges to build, diseases to cure, treaties to negotiate, mountains to climb, technologies to create, children to teach, businesses to run. Unfortunately, benign neglect of things financial leaves you open to the charlatans of the financial world. The people who make investing endlessly complex, because if it can be made complex it becomes more profitable for them, more expensive for us, and we are forced into their waiting arms. Here's an important truth: Complex investments exist only to profit those who create and sell them. Not only are they more costly to the investor, they are less effective. The simple approach I created for her and present now to you, is not only easy to understand and implement, it is more powerful than any other. Together we'll explore: Debt: Why you must avoid it and what to do if you have it. The importance of having F-you Money. How to think about money, and the unique way understanding this is key to building your wealth. Where traditional investing advice goes wrong and what actually works. What the stock market really is and how it really works. Why the stock market always goes up and why most people still lose money investing in it. How to invest in a raging bull, or bear, market. Specific investments to implement these strategies. The Wealth Building and Wealth Preservation phases of your investing life and why they are not always tied to your age. How your asset allocation is tied to those phases and how to choose it. How to simplify the sometimes confusing world of 401(k), 403(b), TSP, IRA and Roth accounts. TRFs (Target Retirement Funds), HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) and RMDs (Required Minimum Distributions). What investment firm to use and why the one I recommend is so far superior to the competition. Why you should be very cautious when engaging an investment advisor and whether you need to at all. Why and how you can be conned, and how to avoid becoming prey. Why I don't recommend dollar cost averaging. What financial independence looks like and how to have your money support you. What the 4% rule is and how to use it to safely spend your wealth. The truth behind Social Security. A Case Study on how this all can be implemented in real life. Enjoy the read, and the journey!

This program helps you transform your relationship with money-whether your goal is to get out of debt, become financially independent or align your financial decisions with your personal values.Your choice: this inexpensive workbook or a free PDF.First and foremost, the PDF version of this entire course is available for free on my website "financinglife-dot-org".

Nearly 40 years later, people's lives are still being enriched by the Financial Integrity Program he helped create. The program enables you to: Get out of debt Spend less Develop savings Learn to base your transactions (the getting, spending, investing and giving of your resources) on your own personal principles Achieve a degree of financial independence that allows you to spend your time doing what is fulfilling for you Rick Van Ness, author of Why Bother With Bonds recently expanded Steps 8 and 9 to reflect the time-proven wisdom that many call the common sense investing principles. These are also recognized as the Bogleheads Investment Philosophy, an endearing term honoring John C. Bogle, lifelong champion for ordinary investors.What's different about the 9-Step Financial Integrity Program?Many books and "step programs" on managing your money are available today. What most of these books have in common is that they assume your financial life functions separately from the rest of your life. The Financial Integrity Program is different. It is a 'whole systems' approach to your life. And it will take you back to basics-the basics of making your spending (and hopefully your saving and investing) of money into a clear mirror of your life values and purpose.The purpose of the Financial Integrity Program is not to sell you anything-a product, a guru, a lifestyle. You don't need any of those to achieve your goals. But you don't need to go it alone, either. By using this proven, comprehensive program of nine steps based on classic financial principles, you can get where you want to go faster than making them up yourself. And it's all free.Is this program what you need? Ask yourself these questions: Are you comfortable with the amount of money you have? Is it enough? Are you spending as much time with family and friends as you would like? Do you come home from your job feeling fulfilled? Do you have time to participate in things you believe are worthwhile? If you were laid off from your job, would you see it as a tragedy or an opportunity? Do you have enough savings to support you through six months of normal living expenses? When you think about your finances, do you feel peaceful and at ease? If you were to die in the next few years, would you be comfortable with your legacy or contribution to your family, your community, the world? Are all the aspects of your life - your job, your possessions, your relationships, your values - integrated? If you answered, 'no' to even one of these, then this 9-Step program can help.
