Download or read book Real World Finance: Boost Your Financial Literacy as All Schools Have Failed to Do written by Jerry L. Copley and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2023-06-13 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a former mathematics teacher and a master's degree recipient, I have witnessed a decline in basic mathematical abilities and financial literacy over the past twenty years. It is disheartening. To witness the anxieties people struggle with in their everyday lives--especially when due to reliance on credit--prompted me to do something. I decided to write a book to break down even complex financial concepts into understandable terms. Over the years, I have talked with business owners, bank mortgage lenders, sales professionals, finance managers, and college and high school students, along with coworkers, about the many financial topics individuals encounter throughout their lives. To be honest, I was somewhat surprised by the lack of understanding around basic financial concepts like budgeting, compensation and remuneration, insurance, credit, investments, and even taxation. Education has always been an integral part of my life. I believe in the total education of the individual, not just subject-matter expertise. An education that can last throughout a lifetime is complex yet simple, timeless yet timely, and most importantly, it builds a foundation that is needed for ultimate success. This book, Real World Finance: Boost Your Financial Literacy as All Schools Have Failed to Do, builds the financial education that seems to be missing from society today. It details financial concepts necessary to guide the individual through a lifetime of experiences and endeavors. The financial topics include budgets, credit, insurance, investments, retirement, and worker compensation with fringe benefits and taxes, all tailored to an individual's personal financial life. As a former tax associate, I have assisted hundreds with their tax returns. In too many cases, individuals did not know how to fill out, complete, and/or file their required tax return. Some didn't even know what their W-2 was! I have become determined to increase their financial literacy as I did with the thousands of students I taught. Real World Finance: Boost Your Financial Literacy as All Schools Have Failed to Do explains topics using real-world examples from employee compensation and lease versus purchase to loans, insurance, retirement, and the importance of investment to taxation. Employing this method breaks down any intimidation of mathematics (encountered by many of my former students and the general population) while teaching necessary financial concepts and calculations needed for everyday living--purchasing a car, buying insurance, setting up a budget, comparing total compensation from various job opportunities, retirement and investing, filing tax returns, comparing leasing, renting versus ownership, and more. A Walmart employee I recently spoke with told me he had to learn many of these concepts for himself after suffering financial hardship. He wished he would have been introduced to these concepts in school. When I informed him I had taught many of the topics contained in Real World Finance: Boost Your Financial Literacy as All Schools Have Failed to Do to my students, he responded, "I wish I had you as a teacher." I want to help more people like the Walmart employee and others. I sincerely think they will not only benefit from the topics--they will find them interesting and the narrative informative. Thank you in advance for taking the time to look at Real World Finance: Boost Your Financial Literacy as All Schools Have Failed to Do!

This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The content in this book was created so that individuals, families, business owners, and entrepreneurs could digest information about money and finance related decisions without being overwhelmed. The intention is for you to learn more about each of these thinking exercises and begin to develop a particular mindset that has you asking: How do these topics relate to my specific personal or business economy? Participating in future conversations with a financial professional who is well trained in these thinking exercises can lead to customization of specific strategies in your financial picture. It is our opinion that a financial professional needs access to a wide array of one-size-fits-one tools in the areas of cash flow awareness, income tax strategies, risk diversification, tax diversification of assets, and protecting the purpose of your money. With all of these tools, a financial professional can truly act in your best interest and be considered a fiduciary.

Download or read book The Fair Value of Insurance Business written by Irwin T. Vanderhoof and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insurance companies, as well as banks and thrift institutions, have traditionally reported assets and liabilities on the basis of their amortized cost, or book value. But following the turmoil in securities markets due to highly volatile interest rate fluctuations in the 1980s and the early 1990s, and problems caused by inadequate liquidity, in the mid-1990s the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new ruling calling for financial intermediaries to report the fair, or market, value of most assets. Called FAS 115, this new standard is the first step in the eventual change to valuing all the assets and liabilities belonging to financial intermediaries under the fair value accounting method. Thus, these changes will pose tremendous future implications for three key business measures of a financial intermediary: Solvency: if the fair values of assets and liabilities are out-of-step, then healthy companies may report negative net worth and insolvent companies may appear to be in sound financial condition. Reported Earnings: if the fair values of assets and liabilities are out of step, then reported earnings will not accurately represent the financial operations of the company. Risk Management: FASB recently postponed the implementation of its new rules on accounting for the use of derivatives instruments. However, if the final set of rules for figuring the fair value of derivatives is not carefully crafted, it may be possible that companies prudently hedging their risks are subject to penalties in their financial reports, while companies taking greater risks appear to have less volatile financial performance. Compared to banks and other financial intermediaries, life insurance companies have the longest term and most complex liabilities, and hence the new FASB requirement poses the most severe challenges to the life insurance industry. The lessons learned from the debate among life insurance academics and professionals about how respond to the fair value reporting rule will be instructive to their counterparts in other sectors of the insurance industry, as well as those involved with other financial institutions. Of particular note are the two papers which comprise Part III. The first provides examples of the fair valuing of annuity contracts, while the second offers examples of the fair valuing of term insurance products. As the papers collected in The Fair Value of Insurance Business extend and update some of the issues treated in a previous Salomon Center conference volume, The Fair Value of Insurance Liabilities, this new volume may be viewed as a companion to the earlier book.

Download or read book Introduction to Insurance Mathematics written by Annamaria Olivieri and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-12 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book aims at presenting technical and financial features of life insurance, non-life insurance, pension plans. The book has been planned assuming non-actuarial readers as its “natural” target, namely - advanced undergraduate and graduate students in Economics, Business and Finance; - professionals and technicians operating in Insurance and pension areas, whose job may regard investments, risk analysis, financial reporting, etc, and hence implies a communication with actuarial professionals and managers. Given the assumed target, the book focuses on technical and financial aspects of insurance, however avoiding the use of complex mathematical tools. In this sense, the book can be placed at some “midpoint” of the existing literature, part of which adopts more formal approaches to insurance problems implying the use of non-elementary mathematics, whereas another part addresses practical questions totally avoiding even simple mathematical tools (which, in our opinion, can conversely provide effective tools for presenting technical and financial features of the insurance business).

Book excerpt: Insurance agents and financial advisors are being taught outdated marketing and sales strategies to grow their businesses. Cold calling, seminars, online leads, networking groups and display ads are showing less returns. At the same time, according to Google, every 5 seconds someone is searching for a financial or insurance product to meet their needs, yet most agents are unaware of how to reach this growing market. Shift is a compilation of exclusive, rarely-before-seen techniques, strategies and best practices used right now to increase sales exponentially using digital marketing. These are not taught in magazines, books or courses today simply because most people won’t share them. Jeremiah has used these concepts to train over 100,000 agents in over 51 countries including the US, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, the Caribbean and South Africa. Using his years of success stories and behind-the-scenes access to the frontlines of what’s working now, Jeremiah has been part of teams that have generated over two million leads in the insurance space, leading to over $300,000,000 in commissions paid out. He has documented the most inspiring, entertaining and duplicatable techniques his teams and front line advisors are using TODAY to SHIFT industry thinking to solve these problems.
