Do you really need it? : one question to free you financially / by McSween, Pierre-Yves,1979-author.; Mullins, Rhonda,1966-translator.; translation of:McSween, Pierre-Yves,1979-En as-tu vraiment besoin?English.;
"Decisions, decisions ... Whether you're considering the latest tech or a new car, a destination wedding or buying a house, this runaway #1 Quebec bestseller says it all comes down to just one question: do you really need it? This common-sense guide by a CPA and journalist combines a fresh approach with sound advice and a good dose of humour--proving that having the right attitude to money is one of the keys to happiness. Do you need it? Do you really need it? Pierre-Yves McSween applies this simple question to all the decisions that have a direct effect on our bank accounts. Do You Really Need It? holds up a mirror to our life choices and their consequences. McSween questions our spending habits and assumptions, stressing the need for a fresh outlook on building financial flexibility. Mixing sound advice with humour and a touch of philosophy, McSween looks at some forty different topics, questioning what you Really Need: credit cards, brand-name products, a new car (or a used one), marriage, kids, life insurance, RRSPs and TFSAs, vacations, a will. In each chapter McSween makes his case and ends with his summary of whether you do, in fact, REALLY need it. Do You Really Need It? covers money matters with zero BS and no holds barred, offering clever strategies for you to question consumerist impulses and fill in your financial knowledge gaps. McSween seeks first to define the behaviour of a responsible citizen; and then to show readers how to achieve a little more freedom in their lives--something they really, truly need."--

Going home / by Lamont, Tom,author.;
"A funny, achingly sad, sneakily wise story of family and what happens when three men-all of whom are completely ill-suited for fatherhood-take charge of a toddler following his mother's sudden death. Boy-made-good Téo Erskine is back in the north London suburb of his youth, visiting his father-stubborn, selfish, complicated Vic. Things have changed for Téo: he's got a steady job, a brand-new car and a London flat all concrete and glass, with a sliver of a river view. Except, underneath the surface, not much has changed at all. He's still the boy seeking his father's approval; still the young man playing late-night poker with his best friend, unreliable, infuriating Ben Mossam; still the one desperately in love with the enigmatic Lia. Lia's life, on the other hand, has been transformed: now a single mother to two-year-old Joel, she doesn't have time for anyone-not even herself. When the unthinkable happens, Joel finds himself at the center of a strange constellation of men-Téo, Vic, Ben-none of whom is fully equipped to look after him, but whose strange, tentative attempts at love might just be enough to offer him a new place to call home"--
