The Money for Life Book…
describes the problems that face Americans because of the badly scewed perceptions about how to handle money that bombard us daily in the media and the press.
Albert Einstein said, “The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.”
The 50 page leather bound financial plan that you receive from the well known company with the large advertising budget is at best a snapshot of a fantasy; it represents the “level of thinking” that has America in debt up to its eyeballs with a negative savings rate for the past thre years. It is out of date when you receive it and out of touch with the reality of your life’s daily challenges.
The typical financial plan wants for wisdom.
Think about it. Do you rush to the bookshelf to pull out your neatly bound financial plan when your family faces a crisis and you need money?
Ask yourself how you’d feel if, instead of unfounded fantasies in a fancy leather binder,
-
You were free from debt-to-others; no mortgage, no car payments, no credit card bills or store charge card balances, no home improvement balances at the home improvement center…no debt of any kind
-
You had an income you didn’t have to work for but you couldn’t outlive, was protected from inflationary pressures, and wasn’t decimated by interest payments and taxes
-
You had ready money to take care of yourself and your family when some planned or unplanned life event required it – job loss, college for the kids, illness or disability, a long awaited second honeymoon, long term nursing home expense;
-
You had a secure tax free legacy of your wisdom and your wealth that you could pay forward on your terms and to those you care about.
These are the Four Pillars that are the framework of all stable financial structures because they rest on a foundation of money that you – and you alone – control.
Common Sense
This blog and this book show you how to lay this foundation and erect this framework. Guarantee yourself peace of mind about money… and about life. Make sure you and you family have Money for Life…How to Thrive in Good Times and Bad.
