Book excerpt: The real-life Nickel and Dimed—the author of the wildly popular “Poverty Thoughts” essay tells what it’s like to be working poor in America. ONE OF THE FIVE MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS OF THE YEAR--Esquire “DEVASTATINGLY SMART AND FUNNY. I am the author of Nickel and Dimed, which tells the story of my own brief attempt, as a semi-undercover journalist, to survive on low-wage retail and service jobs. TIRADO IS THE REAL THING.”—Barbara Ehrenreich, from the Foreword As the haves and have-nots grow more separate and unequal in America, the working poor don’t get heard from much. Now they have a voice—and it’s forthright, funny, and just a little bit furious. Here, Linda Tirado tells what it’s like, day after day, to work, eat, shop, raise kids, and keep a roof over your head without enough money. She also answers questions often asked about those who live on or near minimum wage: Why don’t they get better jobs? Why don’t they make better choices? Why do they smoke cigarettes and have ugly lawns? Why don’t they borrow from their parents? Enlightening and entertaining, Hand to Mouth opens up a new and much-needed dialogue between the people who just don’t have it and the people who just don’t get it.

Download or read book No More Poor, Become Rich Today written by Swapnil Dev and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I strongly believe that anyone can become rich by simply following the right principles. It does not matter if that person is born rich or poor. At the end of the day, wealth creation lies in the mind. It is you who decides whether you want to become rich or not. Simple everyday habits like tracking your expenses, taking public transport instead of own vehicle to work, going by a shared ride instead of a private one, avoiding smoking/alcohol, etc. can contribute greatly towards making you rich.Not everyone is born rich but that does not mean that they cannot become rich. The world is full of self-made millionaires who have built their wealth from scratch. We cannot control the situations in life or decide the challenges that life throws at us. But we can definitely choose how to respond to them. And it is this choice that helps us to shape our destiny. In this book, you will find a step by step guide on how to build a rich mindset, the importance of creating an emergency fund, the strategy that you can use to achieve any financial goal, insights into investing in the stock market/mutual funds, retirement planning & much more. I hope and firmly believe that after reading this book you will be able to develop a strong understanding of how to plan for your financial goals, how to invest to build true wealth, be prepared for any challenge that life may throw at you, build strong finance habits and pass on the knowledge to your friends and family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you Poor or Are you Rich? Who are you?It really doesn't matter what your religion is, or, for that matter if you believe in a deity. Not important.What is real is you. You are real.Your ideas are your own.Your true accomplishments are your own.Your demeanor is your own.Your thoughts are your own. (Others may have inspired your thoughts but, in the end, you are responsible for your thoughts).Your feelings are your own. (Others may have instigated your feelings, but, in the end, your feelings are your own).You can lie to yourself and you can lie to your friends;But...In the wee hours of the morning when you are all alone, your feelings of joy and your tears of disappointments are your own.In the end, your honesty and your integrity become your best friends.No more lies.You are exactly as you think you are.In the end, sooner or later, YOU must take a good and hard look at your thoughts, and you, and only you, must decide Who you are.Be still. be calm. RelaxListen to your heart. Analyze your thoughts.And, in your solitude, become your best self.Say... Feel... Think... and be...Affirm with conviction.I am.OTHER THOUGHTS OF MICRODAC: No. I have no idea who takes the time to read my rambling. I am just grateful to those who do. Today, I want to share a couple insights about money, what it is and what it does. Money is a common exchange. Its value is in what it does and as a yardstick for judging wealth. Rich people hoard money because it is what they do. Poor people hunger for money because it is what they do. In the end and when each is in the ground, the worms see not distinction. The caution here, though, is on how we feel about money. Our attitude towards money. That, the rich and the poor, controls totally: Our attitude. With me, I try my best not to envy the rich and their wealth. Collecting money is, in essence, no different that me collecting vases from thrift stores. I do what I do (As I suspect the rich does what he does) because I enjoy it; I enjoy shopping for a $2 vase. My joy is in the doing. So, envy like jealousy, I have found, is a total waste of time and energy. And, the results for the one who is envious or Jealous are the same. It is sort of like hating someone. When you hate someone, does the victim of your hate really cares? I doubt it, so, you occupy your soul with a feeling that is only hurting you. You compromise the growth of your enlightenment by a the useless feeling of hate. (Acting on hate, however, is another matter). Here's what I think when one lacks the wealth that is needed. One can either increase one's wealth or live with the constrains of the meager existence. Having had this experience, I know what I am talking about. It boils down to attitude and doing the best that you can.The common sense thing to do is to make your limited funds stretch in getting the things that you want. You use your ingenuity to acquire things of function rather than things of form. In other words, you get the best that you can afford, and not what you are told to get via marketing. For example (and this is a simple example): When you are a bit sluggish you know what to do: You drink two glasses of room-temperature (or warm water) followed by a cup of coffee or tea. The result is almost immediate. OR, you can purchase Polyethylene Glycol for about $20 - the same result. The question is this: What is the VALUE of $20 to you? Think about that when you think of money in terms of its use.Here's a suggestion: Use your imagination to make the best use of your money.Be creative and network. If having your own business is your goal. Then use what is offered and create your own empire.Please read this in jest. Read as if just one sentence will trip the imagination and an idea will be born; one that goes from the perception of being poor to the reallity of having all your needs met. And, of course, have fun with this. Enjoy the pictures.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you're born poor, you quickly learn the difference between needs and wants. You want a new pair of shoes, but your parents can't afford them. Instead, you need to make the old shoes last. So, your mother cuts out a piece of cardboard to fit inside the shoes you have. The cardboard covers a hole in the sole and the lesson sticks with you for the rest of your life.Ernie Buresh wore those shoes more than 80 years ago. While the shoes are long gone, Ernie's memories of them provided the foundation for building his own soul thanks to many similar examples given to him by his mother.Now 88, Ernie reflects on a life that turned out to be more adventurous, more successful and more rewarding than he ever imagined. More than a biography, "The Advantage of Being Born Poor" not only examines one man's life, but passes on the valuable advantages of hard work, learning from other people's examples and making your own luck.From a poor childhood where earning a quarter to mow a lawn seemed unbelievably fortunate, Ernie forged a successful 52-year career in banking that has allowed him to give away millions of dollars to causes close to his heart. But, more importantly, this shy and quiet child grew up to embrace the notion that giving of yourself can come back two-fold, that a positive attitude makes you look forward to waking up every morning and that developing hundreds of friendships along the way is the real secret to success.Yes, follow Ernie Buresh as he makes a few false career starts, learns that risk can lead to reward, builds his own house so he can live mortgage free and mourns the death of a daughter who needed special attention after her heart surgeries as a child. In the end, the ups and downs of "The Advantage of Being Born Poor" will give you an appreciation for the opportunities in your own life.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Download or read book Requiem for the American Dream written by Noam Chomsky and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! In his first major book on the subject of income inequality, Noam Chomsky skewers the fundamental tenets of neoliberalism and casts a clear, cold, patient eye on the economic facts of life. What are the ten principles of concentration of wealth and power at work in America today? They're simple enough: reduce democracy, shape ideology, redesign the economy, shift the burden onto the poor and middle classes, attack the solidarity of the people, let special interests run the regulators, engineer election results, use fear and the power of the state to keep the rabble in line, manufacture consent, marginalize the population. In Requiem for the American Dream, Chomsky devotes a chapter to each of these ten principles, and adds readings from some of the core texts that have influenced his thinking to bolster his argument. To create Requiem for the American Dream, Chomsky and his editors, the filmmakers Peter Hutchison, Kelly Nyks, and Jared P. Scott, spent countless hours together over the course of five years, from 2011 to 2016. After the release of the film version, Chomsky and the editors returned to the many hours of tape and transcript and created a document that included three times as much text as was used in the film. The book that has resulted is nonetheless arguably the most succinct and tightly woven of Chomsky's long career, a beautiful vessel--including old-fashioned ligatures in the typeface--in which to carry Chomsky's bold and uncompromising vision, his perspective on the economic reality and its impact on our political and moral well-being as a nation. "During the Great Depression, which I'm old enough to remember, it was bad–much worse subjectively than today. But there was a sense that we'll get out of this somehow, an expectation that things were going to get better . . ." —from Requiem for the American Dream

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Punchily written ... He leaves the reader with a sense of the gross injustice of a world where health outcomes are so unevenly distributed' Times Literary Supplement 'Splendid and necessary' Henry Marsh, author of Do No Harm, New Statesman There are dramatic differences in health between countries and within countries. But this is not a simple matter of rich and poor. A poor man in Glasgow is rich compared to the average Indian, but the Glaswegian's life expectancy is 8 years shorter. The Indian is dying of infectious disease linked to his poverty; the Glaswegian of violent death, suicide, heart disease linked to a rich country's version of disadvantage. In all countries, people at relative social disadvantage suffer health disadvantage, dramatically so. Within countries, the higher the social status of individuals the better is their health. These health inequalities defy usual explanations. Conventional approaches to improving health have emphasised access to technical solutions – improved medical care, sanitation, and control of disease vectors; or behaviours – smoking, drinking – obesity, linked to diabetes, heart disease and cancer. These approaches only go so far. Creating the conditions for people to lead flourishing lives, and thus empowering individuals and communities, is key to reduction of health inequalities. In addition to the scale of material success, your position in the social hierarchy also directly affects your health, the higher you are on the social scale, the longer you will live and the better your health will be. As people change rank, so their health risk changes. What makes these health inequalities unjust is that evidence from round the world shows we know what to do to make them smaller. This new evidence is compelling. It has the potential to change radically the way we think about health, and indeed society.

Download or read book A Roadmap to Reducing Child Poverty written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The strengths and abilities children develop from infancy through adolescence are crucial for their physical, emotional, and cognitive growth, which in turn help them to achieve success in school and to become responsible, economically self-sufficient, and healthy adults. Capable, responsible, and healthy adults are clearly the foundation of a well-functioning and prosperous society, yet America's future is not as secure as it could be because millions of American children live in families with incomes below the poverty line. A wealth of evidence suggests that a lack of adequate economic resources for families with children compromises these children's ability to grow and achieve adult success, hurting them and the broader society. A Roadmap to Reducing Child Poverty reviews the research on linkages between child poverty and child well-being, and analyzes the poverty-reducing effects of major assistance programs directed at children and families. This report also provides policy and program recommendations for reducing the number of children living in poverty in the United States by half within 10 years.
