We are seeing more women in the workforce than ever before, but despite reaching high-paying successful positions, women struggle with growing their wealth and maintaining finances. Most of the time, this struggle stems not from the inability to monitor and budget the money; rather, it originates from the lack of education and recourses that are available for young women or women in general. For some, financial education might be Everest, but even the most dangerous mountains can be conquered with the right information, patience, and resilience.

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

A building is only as tall as its foundation. Getting a building’s footing right is key in preventing structural issues in the future. The foundation distributes the weight of the home, ensuring the subsoil doesn’t spread away from the structure and cause unbalanced settlement. Not all foundations are made the same...and the requirements differ based on many factors. If you’re on the journey to homeownership, then consider making a stop here and learning foundation basics so that you can proceed with great confidence and grit.

A must for anyone looking to be self sustaining
I absolutely loved listening to this audiobook! It's sparked a strong desire in me to disconnect from the hustle and bustle and embrace an off-grid lifestyle. John Utterback, the author, has a fantastic way of explaining the essentials of off-grid living in a straightforward and approachable manner. He covers everything from the basics of living off the grid to various house types and the ins and outs of solar, wind, and hydroelectric power systems. What I found incredibly helpful was his insight into common mistakes to avoid, making the idea of off-grid living feel more achievable.
One standout feature was the detailed comparison of 18 different house types, considering construction methods and cost per square foot. This deep dive really helped me understand the range of options available and how I could tailor them to fit my off-grid dreams. Plus, the audiobook's narration was clear and engaging, making it a delightful experience to listen to.
If you're even remotely interested in living off the grid or increasing your self-sufficiency, I highly recommend giving this audiobook a listen. It's not just informative; it's a fantastic guide to turning your off-grid aspirations into a reality.

This book goes really in detail about the specifics you will need to be off grid. It talks about small hydroelectric systems and breaks down their components and shows how they provide a consistent electricity source. Water sourcing techniques are discussed and the author talks about water wells as well as alternative water sources. It also has some good information on methods for heating and cooling, along with common mistakes to avoid.

Or just anyone who want to know how their current home systems operate and what substitutes are available for future expansions or modifications. The extremely detailed comparisons and options are described in a straightforward and simple manner, making them understandable. Never lose yourself in the minutiae.

Also, we now have a far greater appreciation for our well system and are able to communicate with the experts maintaining it with greater understanding, which is fantastic! This innovative book has definitely given our collection a lot more variety.
