“Crisis Investing and Entrepreneuring”

By William L Seavey

 Many of the people I know have lost a portion or most of their funds, some have lost homes. Seavey suggests financial ideas for us, the masses! He provides a great mix of “green” advice along with some down to earth ways to get a head in this market.

This is an easy to read, and short book, long on versatile easy to understand concepts of how to best utilize your funds. He discusses the US government, value of the dollar, and positive and negatives of several investment vehicles. He is not shy about sharing his own experiences and ends each chapter with references, and research. He covers concrete strategies to save and make money, how to reduce mortgage debt quickly, buying real estate for investment, and investing in a home based business.

 Maybe it will be moving to a smaller, rural area for you, but it may save you a bundle. He is one of the few “financial advisors” who talks about social responsibility. It is refreshing. He makes common sense, yet provides innovative strategies for your review and consideration.

I learned that I need to get my pencil and paper out and review my own financial goals—by looking more at ways to be solvent in a down economy. I need to get my mortgage paid off more quickly and to look more astutely at how to take some calculated risks given this difficult economic climate. 

This book is thought provoking and calls you to action.

There is no way you can read his book and not look at our portfolio…regardless of its size.

I recommend it.

I received a complimentary review copy.
