You've taken the pregnancy tests, made the big announcement and perhaps even caught a glimpse of your baby on a sonogram. Congratulations! Everyone knows that it costs money to have a baby, but just how much money? While the experts don't agree on one specific amount, they do agree that raising kids costs a pretty penny. The good news is that there are tradeoffs expectant and new parents can make to their lifestyles to make having a baby--and the price tag attached--more manageable. In The Real Cost of Babies, writer Lisa van de Geyn leans on financial experts to help parents reduce their expenses and prepare for the financial consequences of the new additions to their families. This guide includes everything they need to know, from the benefits of setting up a registered education savings plan to the tax implications of parental leave, from the government support available to advice on getting on employment insurance. The approach to budgeting and financial tips & tricks will help new parents work through the financial implications so they can embrace the sheer excitement of pregnancy knowing they are ready and equipped to cope with the consequences to their bank account.

The plus one / by Money-Coutts, Sophia,author.;
"Polly Spencer is fine. She's single, turning thirty and only managed to have sex twice last year (both times with a Swedish banker called Fred), but seriously, she's fine. Even if she's still stuck at Posh! magazine writing about royal babies and the chances of finding a plus one to her best friend's summer wedding are looking worryingly slim. But it's a New Year, a new leaf and all that. Polly's determined that over the next 365 days she'll remember to shave her legs, drink less wine and generally get her s**t together. Her latest piece is on the infamous Jasper, Marquess of Milton, undoubtedly neither a plus one nor 'the one'. She's heard the stories, there's no way she'll succumb to his charms ..."--Page 4 of cover.

The road to ruin : the global elites' secret plan for the next financial crisis / by Rickards, James,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The bestselling author of The Death of Money and Currency Wars reveals the global elites' dark effort to hide a coming catastrophe from investors. A drumbeat is sounding among the global elites. The signs of a worldwide financial meltdown are unmistakable. This time, the elites have an audacious plan to protect themselves from the fallout: hoarding cash now and locking down the global financial system when a crisis hits. Since 2014, international monetary agencies have been issuing warnings to a small group of finance ministers, banks, and private equity funds: the U.S. government's cowardly choices not to prosecute J.P. Morgan and its ilk, and to bloat the economy with a $4 trillion injection of easy credit, are driving us headlong toward a cliff. As Rickards shows in this frightening, meticulously researched book, governments around the world have no compunction about conspiring against their citizens. They will have stockpiled hard assets when stock exchanges are closed, ATMs shut down, money market funds frozen, asset managers instructed not to sell securities, negative interest rates imposed, and cash withdrawals denied. If you want to plan for the risks ahead, you will need Rickards's cutting-edge synthesis of behavioral economics, history, and complexity theory. It's a guidebook to thinking smarter, acting faster, and living with the comforing knowledge that your wealth is secure. The global elites don't want this book to exist. Their plan to herd us like sheep to the slaughter when a global crisis erupts--and, of course, to maintain their wealth--works only if we remain complacent and unaware. Thanks to The Road to Ruin, we don't need to be"--
