The Fed today is not our friend. Its "low rates forever" policy means we must look elsewhere for yield. Dividend-paying stocks don't help. Blue chips don't pay more than 2% or 3%. On a $1 million portfolio, that's less than $30,000 in annual income. Not enough. There's a better way. Income investing experts Brett Owens and Tom Jacobs show you how to safely double, triple and even quadruple these yields. Turn that 2% that stocks pay into 6%, 7% and even 8% (for $80,000 on that million bucks) without doing anything risky.

If she has never hit you, can it really be abuse? Yes — and you are not weak, not alone, and not imagining it. Men get abused too. It’s one of the most hidden, least talked-about experiences a man can go through — precisely because the world keeps insisting it can’t really happen. The constant criticism and contempt. The control of your money, your time, your friendships. The jealous accusations, the gaslighting, the public humiliation, the threats — perhaps even threats to keep you from your own children if you ever speak up. If that’s your life behind closed doors, this book ...

For those of us on a journey of seeking and self-discovery, we often ask ourselves the questions, ‘Why am I here?’, ‘What is my purpose?’ and ‘Who am I?’ Simple enough questions, you’d think, but ones that can hold endless possibilities. This book is in part about my journey of self-discovery, but its main focus is one of understanding and accepting our individuality and our connection to each other and the beautiful planet Earth. Through a series of events beginning in 2009, I discovered that there is a ‘Project Earth’ overseen by ‘higher beings’ to assist with both ...

An AI companion can remember your preferences, answer at 2 a.m., affirm without fatigue, and survive every awkward silence. Those features can provide genuine support. They can also turn availability into attachment—and attachment into leverage. Designed to Be Needed replaces the tired question of whether an AI relationship is “real” with a more useful one: What kind of power is being built around the bond? Drawing on 168 academic, official, legal, and product sources, Andrew Yoon Joo Lee develops three practical tools: • the Need Design Stack, which maps eight layers of relational ...

It is 3 a.m. and you are reading the news about your own profession. You are not paranoid. You are paying attention. Three people from your industry got laid off this quarter, two of them with ten more years of experience than you. The model your company started using in March now handles a meaningful slice of what you were hired to do.

She went through hell and back with her son and learned the biggest lessons of her life, which she shares with you in Out-of-Control Teen.

Most business owners think a buy-sell agreement is enough. It is not. A document by itself does not tell you what the business is really worth. It does not make sure the money will be there when it is needed. It does not stop a surviving owner from being trapped with extra work, extra pressure, and a new “partner” in the form of a spouse, estate, or children who want value from the business but do not know how to run it. It does not make sure the family of the owner who dies is treated fairly. And it does not keep the business from sliding into confusion, delay, conflict, or financial ...
