"We Need to Talk: A Memoir About Wealth gives voice to an experience millions share, but no one discusses: what it's like to be rich. The book is an honest, personal story that explores the hidden impact of wealth on identity, relationships, and sense of place in the world. Too often, we link net-worth to self-worth and keep quiet about how our finances make us feel. Money is a taboo subject. The author hopes We Need to Talk becomes a catalyst for conversation that demystifies wealth, gets us talking on a personal level, and confirms we are ninety-nine percent the same. In 1991, at twenty-six years old, Jennifer took a job at Microsoft and got lucky. She met her future husband, David, and the stock options she was granted were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. His were worth far more. Years later, when David joined a small, unknown start-up called Amazon.com, she got lucky again. They both did. They were in their early thirties and had tens of millions of dollars. It was amazing. The freedom and benefits were obvious. But after growing up saving her pennies and being wary of the rich, Jennifer was embarrassed to have joined their ranks. She wasn't worried about being liked for her money, she was worried about being hated for it. People looked at her differently. She didn't know how to ensure her children stayed motivated and not entitled, was shocked when a friend asked for $25,000, discovered philanthropy isn't as straightforward as just writing a check, and grappled with the meaning of enough. For years, she didn't share her dilemmas with others for fear of being judged. No one talks about money-but we should"--

"This book provides a unique and personal money management perspective taking a look at the investment habits, lessons to live by, and techniques of the affluent. It offers revelatory insight to those aspiring to financial heights, investment managers looking to know more about their clients, all the way to other millionaires wanting to learn valuable lessons from their peers. This is an opportunity to learn directly from those who have already traveled the road to significant wealth. Based on two detailed surveys 14 years apart of 17,000 individuals, half of whom were millionaires (and 25% outside of the US), the book compares the attitudes of people from all levels of wealth, from those who started with very little to those with mega-wealth. The authors cover the basics of how their money was made, how it is currently invested and spent, their plans for the immediate future, and how they are planning to pass wealth on to their heirs. More than just an investment guide, this book goes into detail on how millionaires live, their outlook for the future, their spending habits, how they train their children to deal with wealth, and how they enjoy life. The stories and analysis followed their investment stories through complete bear and bull market cycles, what they did after a recession, how they invest in a bull market, and more. The stories found here offer essential information pertaining to real-life investment decisions that can improve the financial well-being of today's serious investor."--
