This book provides an up-to-date look at the consumer movement and the intricacies of consumer behavior. It addresses who buys what, how, when, and why. It also looks at the forces that impact consumer choice in an ever-changing and often turbulent world–all using a balanced textbook/casebook approach. This edition emphasizes the consumer power model, includes more on personal finance and reflects the latest consumption shifts and impact consumers have on product development, advertising, packaging and promotion.
With an emphasis on decision-making, this book explains the resource management process and ways to cope with issues such as time, energy and financial constraints. Using a five-step model, it discusses how to identify needs, determine resources, and even evaluate the end-result. This fourth edition is fully revised to meet the standards needed for the CFLE designation and includes more on stress, the environment, and current economic conditions. Each chapter incorporates new case studies, new critical-thinking exercises, chapter-opening illustrations and activities that help individuals and families learn how to navigate daily life within an increasingly complex world.

LastPass is a secure password management system that replaces the insecure managers built into most web browsers. The system requires users to remember one master password, which allows the use of complex and unique passwords across sites without fear of forgetting them. Passwords can be shared across LastPass accounts, allowing family members to have up-to-date access to financial, health or other important online resources. As increasing amounts of financial or insurance information is processed online, shared passwords allow spouses or partners to access online records in the event of an emergency.
