Melvin de la Motte is writing two more books in his Green series. They will be similar in size and length to Saving Green. They will provide simple straight forward solutions to complex financial problems. When available, they will also be sold on this website. Here is a brief summary of each upcoming book.
Most people have the false belief that having a large annual income is the key to being wealthy. In truth, the size of the family income only determines the “standard of living.” It does not mean the family will become wealthy. This book shows how any family can develop a budget that allows for wealth building. The book describes in simple terms all the tools necessary to set aside money for a new home, children’s college education and preparing for retirement. The book shows how the magic of “compounding over time” can build a huge nest egg for comfortable retirement. The book spells out in simple terms how the layman can invest the money set aside for wealth building to produce superior returns. The reader will learn that there are investment options that are safe and secure … even in these treacherous financial times.
You cannot be certain that the Social Security system will provide enough money in your retirement years for comfortable living. You need to build a nest egg that will allow you to live in a style and comfort to which you have become accustomed. The modern miracles of medicine are increasing life expectancy. It is possible that your retirement nest egg will have to last you 20, 30 or even 40 years. This book provides a simple and logical approach to stretching your retirement nest egg to last a lifetime. To last 20 years or more, your investing cannot be tied to low paying fixed income securities. A retiree needs to know safe investing strategies that will stretch that nest egg for decades. Many retirees also want to leave a sizeable legacy to their children; suggesting all the more reason why traditional fixed-income investing is not adequate for today’s retiree. This book provides sage advice on developing an investing strategy that will allow your retirement nest egg to last a lifetime.
