Overview

The “perfect storm” of global economic disaster

is now hitting every area of personal finance.

Retirement accounts, retiree nest eggs, home

prices, and just about everything else of value are

being swept away in the chaos. You can either

passively try to wait out the storm or take immediate

action to protect yourself, your family, and your future.

In Safe Money in Tough Times, Jonathan Pond

explains how to stay afloat while the economy

sinks. Employing the practical, commonsense

knowledge and wisdom that has made him one of

America’s most popular personal finance experts,

Pond helps you both weather the storm and position

yourself to profit when the economy inevitably

rebounds. He tackles every area of your financial life that is or will soon be affected by the

Great Recession, from investing defensively and

selecting the safest investments to strategies for

paying insurance and tuition bills when times are

tough. You’ll find easy and practical tactics for

Managing debt
Reducing expenses
Coping with unemployment
Minimizing complications if your
financial institution fails
Protecting your retirement savings
Making informed decisions about
your home and mortgage
Improving your credit standing
Preparing for fi nancial emergencies

Although he acknowledges the gravity of our

economic situation, Pond takes you past the pessimism

of today’s media commentators and presents

the crisis as a means for educating yourself,

changing bad habits, and eventually enjoying

unexpected profits. With Safe Money in Tough

Times you have what you need to bypass the so-called

experts and develop your own financial

strategy with confidence.

Complete with checklists and worksheets, this

prescient guide provides everything you need to

take control of your investments, beat the recession,

and develop an all-weather financial and

investment plan that will last a lifetime.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

Worrying about the financial crisis has become a global obsession. Financial planner Jonathan Pond thinks that such understandable anxiety wastes time and doesn't answer the essential question: How can I weather this storm? In Safe Money in Hard Times, the author of Grow Your Money! and You Can Do It! delivers real-world advice on how to keep a nest egg during an economic winter.
