#GivingTuesday

For #GivingTuesday, I am supporting the Fayette Humane Society, where I have been a volunteer for over a decade. The Fayette Humane Society is dedicated to ending the needless suffering of unwanted cats and dogs through adoption and an aggressive spay/neuter program.

I started out fostering cats, then bringing them to adoptions and working the adoption event, then leading adoptions, then grant writing and contributing to the newsletter, and now I've been on the Board of Directors since 2011. We don't have a facility or employees, so our overhead is very low--which means over 90% of any donation goes directly to helping the animals.

I just released Live Well, Grow Wealth, my self-help book about basic personal finance and have pledged any royalties I earn from sales today to the Fayette Humane Society.

It would make a great gift for a new graduate or retiree, or for anyone trying to get back on track financially.

Live Well, Grow Wealth

At long last, I have updated my personal finance book and plan to release it on Amazon in time for Black Friday. What better Christmas gift than a self-help book to get you started on your New Year's Resolutions?

Live Well, Grow Wealth was originally released on Smashwords as an e-book, Live Cheaply, Be Happy, Grow Wealthy. It can be described as Personal Finance 101, a commonsense guide to shrinking your financial footprint. Based on my experience of living frugally, investing, and retiring early, I compare achieving financial fitness to maintaining a healthy weight. In ten easy-to-follow steps, Live Well, Grow Wealth will show ordinary people how to build wealth by living within their means without compromising their values.

Here are the ten steps that will be discussed in detail in Live Well, Grow Wealth:
1.       Live Within Your Means
2.       Find the Best Value
3.       Get out of Debt
4.       Build an Emergency Fund
5.       Save for Retirement
6.       Begin to Invest (basics)
7.       Consider Relationships
8.       Teach Your Children
9.       Get Completely out of Debt (pay off long-term debt, like a mortgage)
10.    Invest More (stocks and covered calls)

I hope you'll check it out and share it with someone who can benefit!
