In this extensively revised and expanded second edition of "Uncle Eric Talks About Personal, Career, and Financial Security", Uncle Eric introduces the concept of model. Models (or paradigms) are how people think; they are how we understand our world. Models help us recognize and use the information that is important and bypass that which is not. To achieve success in our careers, investments, and every other part of our lives, we need sound models. In this book, Mr. Maybury introduces the models he has found most useful (Economics and Higher Law). This is the first book in the Uncle Eric series and, while designed to stand alone, provides an excellent foundation for Maybury's other books. To improve the student's learning experience, also purchase the student study guide for "Uncle Eric Talks About Personal, Career, and Financial Security" titled "A Bluestocking Guide: Building a Personal Model for Success", which is also available from Amazon.com.

About Richard J. Maybury
Index
For more on the Economic model, read "Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?" The clearest and most interesting explaination of economics around. Explains the Austrian economic model, the most free-market of all economic models, and the one that is most in agreement with the ethical principles on which America was founded.
For more on the Legal model, read "Whatever Happened to Justice?" Explains the common law model. Underlying common law are two basic rules: 1) do all that you agreed to do and 2) do not encroach on other persons or their property. Maybury says, "In my opinion, you and your family and friends will avoid a lot of trouble, and find success of every kind easier to achieve, if you adopt these two models, Austrian economics and common law."

The most straightforward financial planning book you'll find. Understandable by the financially clueless yet extremely beneficial to those who have already begun. Unique conversational format. Unbelievable glossary!
B. Joseph Pine II, co-author, The Experience Economy: Work Is Theatre & Every Business a Stage
I wish I could've read Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck when I was first starting out. But I can't wait to share Michael Rubin's wisdom with my daughters as soon as they join the workforce themselves. If you have any doubts whether this concise, cogent, and compelling book is for you (or your children), just read the preface. Now.

Drowning in student loans? Can’t afford to get married, buy a home, have children? Up to your ears in credit card debt? At last, a book for the under-35 generation that explains why it’s not their fault, and what can be done about it.
Strapped offers a groundbreaking look at the new obstacle course facing young adults. Getting ahead, argues commentator and policy maven Tamara Draut, is getting harder. A college degree is the new high school diploma–and costs a fortune to obtain. Good jobs are scarcer thanks to stagnant wages and disappearing benefits. And, the cost of everything–starter homes, health coverage, child care–keeps going up. Witty and wise, Strapped brims with ideas for fashioning a new kind of America in which every young person can go to college, buy a home, and start a family. The future starts here.

A Wall Street wiz kid teaches teens all about investing
At the age of 8, when most kids look no further than baseball cards and video games, young Tim Olsen bought his first stock.
Now, with a diverse portfolio in hand, this13-year-old wunderkind has written The Teenage Investor.
Olson explains for teens, Gen-Xers, and their parents how to build wealth in the stock market by starting now. He then outlines a simple, step-by-step program to begin building a lifelong portfolio.
Tim's fresh perspective and wisdom-beyond his-years make The Teenage Investor a welcome relief from the standard "how to get rich" investment book. Writing with knowledge and insight of a market veteran, he tells young and first-time investors:
- How to invest in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds
- Unique wealth-building plans for young investors

This book is to be used as a starting point for children and parents. Major Topics include: 1) Money Management: Appreciate the benefits of a Roth IRA 2) Career Skills: Identify different types of child employment 3) New Ideas: Discover different ways parents can employ their children 4) Special Details: Learn how parents can issue Forms W-2 for their child 5) Introduction to Taxes: Basic tax concepts for children with low earned income 6) Powerful Knowledge: Understand rules for children to contribute to a Roth IRA. The focus is the unmarried dependent child with no dependents of their own who has a yearly income that ranges from $1.00 to the amount of the single standard deduction allowed by the Internal Revenue Service for the current tax year ($5,350 in 2007). This book can also provide limited guidance for children with incomes outside of this range. However, such children will need to obtain further consultation on different circumstances that will apply to them. This book covers some very basic ideas but quickly moves into complex issues. We should not presume children will not look at a tax publication but instead be optimistic and provide them with the opportunity and incentive to do so. With the pace in which the appeal of the internet is growing each day, it is not unreasonable to direct kids to use links or online calculators to project their finances. Children learn quickly, enjoy challenges and think computers are fun. Parents should assist them, guide them, teach them, and set a good example through their own financial behavior. This book should be used as an interactive guide between parents and children.
