Talk money to me : save well, spend some, and feel good about your money / by Keehn, Kelley,1975-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."No matter your age, salary, social or relationship status, money is an important part of your life. Yet somehow, talking about your money situation is hard. Why is it that you know more about what goes on in your friend's bedroom than with their bank account? Do you know if your parents have a will, or if they'll leave a legacy? How many of your colleagues are still paying off student debt, but are jet-setting around the globe on multiple credit cards?

With years of experience as a personal finance advisor and educator, Kelley Keehn will answer your most burning questions about money, and will talk you through how to avoid mistakes along the way. You can gain control of your debt, learn to save for your future, have a life, and feel good about money all at the same time. And spoiler alert-- you don't need a budget to do any of this! You'll learn: How to build good credit (and get rid of bad credit-- especially credit card debt); what all these dreaded acronyms mean and how they can work for you-- TFSA, RRSP, RESP, CFP, CPP; how and when to invest for your future; how to talk about money with your partner-- and everyone else in your life; how to save for a mortgage, and then work towards being mortgage-free; how to have fun, splurge once in a while, and still save money With her unique blend of empathy and no-nonsense candor, Kelley takes you through the basics of personal finance with relatable anecdotes that expose the most common money pitfalls-- and how to avoid them-- so you can make financial decisions that are right for you."-- Provided by publisher.

Includes bibliographical references."Do you have a "friend" who is super smart, has a great career, holds a graduate degree, has even saved a chunk of money for retirement, but who keeps making the same dumb mistakes when it comes to money?

Robert B. Parker's Someone to watch over me / by Atkins, Ace,author.; Parker, Robert B.,1932-2010,creator.;
"In the latest thriller featuring the legendary Boston PI, Spenser and his young protégé Mattie Sullivan take on billionaire money manager running a network of underaged girls for his rich and powerful clients. Ten years ago, Spenser helped a teenage girl named Mattie Sullivan find her mother's killer and take down an infamous Southie crime boss. Now Mattie--a college student with a side job working for the tough but tender private eye--dreams of being an investigator herself. Her first big case involves a fifteen-year-old girl assaulted by a much older man at one of Boston's most prestigious private clubs. The girl, Chloe Turner, only wants the safe return of her laptop and backpack. But like her mentor and boss, Mattie has a knack for asking the right questions of the wrong people. Soon Spenser and Mattie find ties between the exploitation of dozens of other girls from working class families to an eccentric billionaire and his sadistic henchwoman with a mansion on Commonwealth Avenue. The mystery man's wealth, power and connections extend well beyond Massachusetts - maybe even beyond the United States. Spenser and trusted ally Hawk must again watch out for Mattie as she unravels a massive sex-trafficking ring that will take them from Boston to Boca Raton to the Bahamas, crossing paths with local toughs, a highly-trained security company, and an old enemy of Spenser's--the Gray Man--for a final epic showdown."--
