Confessions of a Shanty Irishman Audiobook

Confessions of a Shanty Irishman is a hybrid memoir, with some fictional elements about an Irish American Catholic family in San Francisco during the mid to late 20th century. It is a coming of age story. It is also a love story. Here is an excerpt from a review: ''Michael Corrigan proves that the American Irish have their own magical way with words in his spellbinding memoir of growing up on the wrong side of Market Street in San Francisco…But the secularization of a good Irish Catholic boy under the too strong temptations of the later 20th century is just the bare bones of what ‘Confessions of a Shanty Irishman’ is about. Like all great Irish literature, this book is about death and family, what holds people together and what pulls them apart.” Gerald Nicosia, San Francisco Chronicle.

Mastering Money: How to Beat Debt, Build Wealth, and Be Prepared for any Financial Crisis

Overcome debt, make smart money decisions, and build a financially secure future Do you support your family, pay your taxes, get the bills done on time-and yet still struggle to achieve financial security? If so, you're not alone. About one-third of all Americans have not saved for retirement, another third have no savings at all, and more than half have no budget. How did we get here? Two words: financial illiteracy. As money and finance have become more complex over the decades, the average American has not been able to keep up-in essence, leaving our personal financial decisions up to banks, bureaucrats, policymakers, and even fraudsters. Norm Champ, a former director at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), provides an in-depth primer on how money works, designed just for you-the non-finance reader. Champ shows how to: * Pay off your loans and stay out of debt for the long run * Build savings that will see you through thick and thin * Avoid financial disaster-from bad credit deals to outright scams * Start building a safe, smart investing portfolio Our financial system is easier to grasp than you think-and armed with this new knowledge and insight, you'll finally take control of your financial future. When you know how money works, you make better financial decisions. It's that simple. Mastering Money demystifies finance and provides plainspoken, straightforward advice for building a solid financial foundation you can count on in good times and bad.
