Most people are living paycheck to paycheck and the average credit card holder is $15,799 in debt. If you are like most people you could be one paycheck away from financial disaster. In DOLLARS & UNCOMMON SENSE, Certified Financial PlannerTM and former US Army Sergeant Steve Repak outlines a strategy to change your misguided common sense ideas about money and learn to think like a true builder of wealth. Steve left the service with over $32,000 in credit card debt. Drawing on his 12 years of military experience in the Army he put his own finances through boot camp, getting himself out of debt and turning his finances around. Repak serves as your drill sergeant for your fiscal transformation in this ground breaking new book to show you why and how to use uncommon sense to show you how to develop the same self-discipline that you need to finally change the way you think about money and start growing your own wealth.

After watching a friend struggle to find healthy food options for her baby (that didn't involve hours of slaving away in the kitchen), founder and CEO Shazi Visram came up with the idea for Happy Family. What began as Happy Baby - a minimally processed frozen, organic alternative to baby food in a jar - has since grown into a comprehensive line of products for the whole family. Today, Happy Family provides organic foods for babies, toddlers, kids, and even adults! It's delicious, convenient and made with a mother's touch for all ages, all stages.

Launched on Mother's Day 2006, and owned and operated by moms, Happy Family is the leading premium organic food brand delivering optimal nutrition for the entire family. Happy Family products are consistently recognized for superior taste and nutrition. In 2011, founder and CEO Shazi Visram earned the title of Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year for New York. Happy Family has been named as one of the fastest growing organic food companies in the nation by Inc. magazine for two years running, and was named "Rockstar of the New Economy" by Fast Company in 2012.  What could be happier than that?
