Die Broke : A Radical 4-Part Personal Finance Plan: a radical, four-part financial plan

The Story

Based on the most widely discussed series in the history of Worth magazine, Die Broke preaches a radically new approach to personal finance, telling baby boomers approaching retirement to rethink their job, their savings, and their spending.Controversial and revolutionary, Die Broke redesigns personal finance strategy, turning conventional wisdom on its head as it urges readers to: -- Spend money (on yourself or your loved ones) while you're alive. Every penny left after you die is a failing.-- In the workplace, consider yourself a free agent. You come first, your company second.-- Credit should be only used when paying cash is impossible (on cars or homes).-- Once you retire, pick a new career. There's no need to stop working just because you reach a certain age.Evolved from a series of articles Pollan and Levine published in Worth, Die Broke is rich in specific strategies for everything from home buying and investing to insurance and education. Eschewing convoluted number-crunching and complex investment schemes, its easy how-to's, dos and don'ts, and targeted advice give today's 72 million baby boomers the hope and security they need as they face an uncertain 21st century.
