In this excerpt from Prospect managing editor Ryan Cooper’s audiobook How Are You Going to Pay for That?, he discusses the interaction between saving and employment.

If that is interesting, listeners check can out the whole book on Audible, Barnes & Noble, or Audiobooks.com, or see a selection of outlets where you can get a print copy here as well.
