HONG KONG, Aug. 5, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- In this rapidly changing world, figuring out the best way to navigate the often volatile path through life can be difficult. In a series of books designed to help young people understand how to successfully weather the changes, Pauline Tai offers guidance. New Economy Self-Development Series Volume III: Personal Finance (now available through AuthorHouse), her third book, offers instructive tips on how to stay afloat financially.
Tai, who has taught economics and business at Columbia University, offers a clear, concise guide on personal financial planning for young people. From the simplest tasks like creating a budget to more intricate aspects such as building the ideal stock portfolio, she offers the basics people need to understand when maneuvering through life. It is a well-rounded guide that addresses one of the major issues people deal with throughout their lives.
"The New Economy Self-Development" series takes a scrutinizing look at the circumstances in the world and applies them to the individual. Tai helps readers understand how workers, consumers and investors can cope with the increasingly unstable times. Her first book in the series deals with broader issues related to working and living in this new world, while the second discusses education and careers. In her fourth and final book, she discusses personal history and the importance of keeping accurate and detailed records for one's family.
As readers make their way through Tai's knowledgeable chapters about personal finance and investing, she hopes readers find encouragement to take the first steps in their financial journey.
