About this listen
This is not a test, nor does this book contain academic jargon or "gotcha" questions with quizzes. Life is the test, measured by how happy, healthy, wealthy and wise you are. This is more of a handbook of common and uncommon sense with simple explanations of the things in life that strangely aren’t taught in school. This book will help you map or remap your life to determine who and what is best for you.
Not in this book: Politics, religion, race, or gender.
This work "puts simply" paths in life after school, whether it’s college, trade school, joining the workforce, starting a business or enlisting in the military. Everything you encounter can and will be an asset, liability or nonfactor to your future
Topics throughout this book are Put Simply with common and uncommon sense. Subtopics have examples, scenarios, a "put simply" bullet point, and often humorous notes. The final chapter is tips for whichever path you choose from someone has done them all.
Obstacles can be people, places, and things depending on your goal and perspective. There are no quizzes or tests at the end - life is the test measured by how happy, healthy, wealthy, and wise you are.
What to expect to be Put Simply:
- Organizations: for profit, nonprofit and government entities
- Joining the workforce, how to be an asset and get promoted
- What to expect when enlisting in the military
- Choosing a major or trade school
- Physical and mental health
- Being rich vs wealthy
- Happiness at home and work
- What’s a bank, credit card, secured vs unsecured loan
- Home ownership, renting and real estate
- Your credit report card and FICO score
- Taxes, insurance, retirement plans and benefits
- Why your smart phone makes you dumb
Regardless of the path you chose, this book won’t tell you what to do or encourage you one way or another. It puts simply the "what" so you can choose what’s best for you.

Investing in your future is easier than you think—discover how and achieve financial security more quickly than you can possibly imagine. Young adults are especially financially vulnerable because they’re just starting out, want a lot of “stuff,” and are not earning the big bucks yet. So, they’re borrowing too much and saving too little (if at all), and they’re in a financial mess. But it doesn’t have to be like that. Instead, imagine a life where you have peace of mind, because your financial affairs are in order, and you’re on the right path to building wealth.

Like it or not, a healthy credit score is essential if you want to participate in today's financial world. But very few people actually understand how their credit score is determined. Worse yet, most don't know how their score is used by all kinds of companies and banks to dictate financial terms that will strongly affect their daily lives. When consumers interact with the world of credit, they do so from a position of weakness. In Your Score, Anthony Davenport aims to change that.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.
