The Little Book Of Main Street Money: 21 Simple Truths That Help Real People Make Real Money(ISBN=)

　　In a financial world gone mad, you still need to manage your
money, put your kids through college, and save for retirement. To
the rescue comes Jonathan Clements with 21 easy-to-follow rules to
help you secure your financial future. Clements has spent a quarter
century demystifying Wall Street for ordinary, real people on Main
Street, including more than thirteen years as the “Wall Street
Journal”‘s hugely popular personal-finance columnist. In “The
Little Book of Main Street Money,” Clements brings us back to
basics, with commonsense suggestions for intelligent money
management. Chock-full of financial guidance that will stand up in
any market, the book also reflects a financial philosophy that
Clements has developed over a lifetime of watching Wall Street and
writing about money-and that is even more important in the current
volatile market. From the big picture (home, retirement, financial
happiness) to the micro (taxes, inflation, investment costs), he
offers clear-cut advice for taking control of your financial life,
detailing the strategies needed to thrive in today’s tough economic
times. The 21 truths outlined throughout this book are a guiding
light for everyone, young and old, whether starting out or soon
retiring. Each chapter reads like a Clements column-clear, pithy,
and feisty. From the obvious to the counterintuitive, the truths
will bolster your returns, cut your costs, and give you financial
peace of mind. Collectively, the 21 truths show you how to think
about your entire financial life-not just stocks and bonds, but
your home, your debts, your financial promises to your children,
your income-earning ability, and so much more. They will help you
not only survive today’s treacherous financial terrain, but also
prepare you for success tomorrow. Renowned for his spirited writing
and shrewd investment guidance, Clements is the sane voice
investors need to stay grounded in the midst of so much financial
insanity.

　　”A gem from one of the most brilliant minds in personal
finance.” –Ben Stein, author, actor, TV personality, and “New York
Times” columnist “Investing, as it is said, is simple but it is not
easy. Jonathan Clements’s fine new Little Book underscores the
priceless (and price-less) value of simplicity. And his sage advice
on living the good life and on spending well and saving wisely will
surely make it, if not easy, at least easier for us to achieve
financial peace of mind.” –John C. Bogle, founder of Vanguard and
author of “Enough” “Nobody, and I mean nobody, can make the world
of investing as easy to understand as Jonathan Clements can. In
this wonderful book, he teaches Main Street how to beat Wall Street
at its own game-and how to have fun along the way. This book does
not stop at merely making you richer and smarter; it will even help
you lead a better life.” –Jason Zweig, author of “Your Money and
Your Brain” and editor of Benjamin Graham’s “The Intelligent
Investor” “Jonathan Clements is one of our wisest and finest
writers in the field of personal finance. This Little Book contains
gems of wisdom not only about investing, but also about living a
full and satisfying life.” –Burton G. Malkiel, author of “A Random
Walk Down Wall Street” “Easy to read, easy to understan-and easy to
put to work-this Little Book is a winner. I’m getting copies for
our children-and their children, too.” –Charles D. Ellis, author
of “Winning the Loser’s Game”
