It comes as no real surprise that so many people find retirement planning a daunting process. If you’re one of those people, this audiobook is for you. It doesn’t matter if you are 18 or 35; the time to start retirement planning (and saving) is now. If you think you’re too late, you’ll be even later if you let it wait a moment a longer. If you believe you are too early, you’re absolutely wrong. Life has a way of sweeping by, and before you know it, you will be looking around for a financial support system that simply isn’t there, if you fail to plan, that is.

Marco Rubio's parents came to the United States in 1956. The country they found was truly a land of opportunity, where hardworking people with grade school educations could afford a home, a car, and college for their kids. A country where maids and bartenders could raise doctors, lawyers, small-business owners, and maybe even a US senator. That was the American Dream - our country's central promise to its people.

Many individuals want to be called rich, but they're just wealthy and often have difficulty balancing money and wealth. The goal most of us think in generating wealth is financial autonomy. We are not interested in the thoughtless accumulation of cash; we want to use our cash to purchase our liberty. And you can do that to create fortune. The objective of this whole battle is financial freedom and true financial freedom is wealthy to be.

Stephanie Kelton's brilliant exploration of modern monetary theory (MMT) dramatically changes our understanding of how we can best deal with crucial issues ranging from poverty and inequality to creating jobs, expanding health care coverage, climate change, and building resilient infrastructure. Any ambitious proposal, however, inevitably runs into the buzz saw of how to find the money to pay for it, rooted in myths about deficits that are hobbling us as a country.

Publisher's Summary
Nearly half of all American adults live paycheck to paycheck. These misunderstood majority of "tightropers" spend time, effort, and tons of emotional energy balancing their lack of capital with increasing demands on those limited financial resources.
Economic instability is the new normal across all income levels. Teetering: Why So Many Live on a Financial Tightrope and What to Do About It addresses the critical question, what's wrong with American policies and the financial institutions that are failing so many hard-working people today? It merges original research with stories from real-life "tightropers" and makes the case for urgent action by financial institutions, innovators, investors, regulators, policymakers, and influencers to recognize and change the financial forces that push the American Dream out of reach for nearly half of the adult populace.
Teetering proposes common-ground solutions that work regardless of political leaning and provides a roadmap for how innovators can serve this growing need and for how banks and others can start saying "yes" to their customers again.

Good insightful read!
This book is the most thorough study of the underserved Tightropers, in contrast to the overserved Safely Stable Americans, I have ever read. Coming from meager beginnings, I enjoyed the deep dive Mr. Rees and his co-author, Ms. Cleaver, took into not just the data but also the stories and motivations behind why Tightropers make certain decisions. Also, the way the authors worked to dispel rumors and long-held incorrect notions about Tightropers. This book will help me personally and professionally explain income inequality to my friends and colleagues in the Safely Stable set of Americans. Thank you both for a good read!
