      -- Get what is yours
      By Kotlikoff, Laurence J  Moeller, Philip  Solman, Paul
       2015., Simon & Schuster Call No: 368.4 Kot   Edition: First Simon & Schuster hardcover edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: "Learn the secrets to maximizing your Social Security benefits and earn up to thousands of dollars more each year with expert advice that you can't get anywhere else. Want to know how to navigate the forbidding maze of Social Security and emerge with the highest possible benefits? You could try reading all 2,728 rules of the Social Security system (and the thousands of explanations of these rules), but Kotlikoff, Moeller, and Solman explain Social Security benefits in an easy to understand and user-friendly style. What you don't know can seriously hurt you: wrong decisions about which Social Security benefits to apply for cost some individual retirees tens of thousands of dollars in lost income every year. How many retirees or those nearing retirement know about such Social Security options as file and suspend (apply for benefits and then don't take them)? Or start stop start (start benefits, stop them, then re-start them)? Or--just as important--when and how to use these techniques? Get What's Yours covers the most frequent benefit scenarios faced by married retired couples, by divorced retirees, by widows and widowers, among others. It explains what to do if you're a retired parent of dependent children, disabled, or an eligible beneficiary who continues to work, and how to plan wisely before retirement. It addresses the tax consequences of your choices, as well as the financial implications for other investments. Many personal finance books briefly address Social Security, but none offers the thorough, authoritative, yet conversational analysis found here. You've paid all your working life for these benefits. Now, get what's yours"--

      By Ogle, Rex
       [2021]., Juvenile, Norton Young Readers, an imprint of W.W. Norton & Company Call No: B OGL   Edition: First edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: "The companion to Rex Ogle's award-winning Free Lunch is a searing account of adolescence in a household torn by domestic violence. Punching Bag is the compelling true story of a high school career defined by poverty and punctuated by outbreaks of domestic abuse. Rex Ogle, who brilliantly mapped his experience of hunger in Free Lunch, here describes his struggle to survive; reflects on his complex, often paradoxical relationship with his passionate, fierce mother; and charts the trajectory of his stepdad's anger. Hovering over Rex's story is the talismanic presence of his unborn baby sister. Through it all, Rex threads moments of grace and humor that act as beacons of light in the darkness. Compulsively readable, beautifully crafted, and authentically told, Punching Bag is a remarkable memoir about one teenager's cycle of violence, blame, and attempts to forgive his parents-and himself"--

       2022., Greenhaven Pub. Call No: 331.2 3   Edition: 1st ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Series Title: Introducing issues with opposing viewpoints.Summary Note: "During the 2020 Democratic primary campaign, candidate Andrew Yang's policy of universal basic income was something many Americans had never heard of. Yang's background as a tech entrepreneur likely influenced his platform, as he projected that within the next decade one of every three workers would be at risk of losing their jobs to new technologies. Basic income has been debated and piloted in countries around the world since the 1960s. While support seems unlikely in the United States, a country that prides itself on the merits of hard work, automation and a drastically changing labor force could change that"--
