“The stuff that dreams are made of.”  The Maltese Falcon, 1941

Jonathan and Stacey have an unconventional family. Stacey is a highly compensated executive and is rising rapidly in her profession. Jonathan is an innovative and creative artist. Jonathan stays at home with the couples two children, works on his art when he can and dabbles on eBay as a way of making a few extra dollars to feed his passion.

His eBay adventure didn’t start out as an avocation, however. Like many other easy money schemes such as multi-level-marketing programs, foriegn exchange trading, precious metals deals, or day trading on the stock exchanges, it began as a fantasy about a fortune. It wasn’t long, though, before Jonathan and Stacey both recognized that success was unlikely. When Stacey became pregnant with their second child – well, that sealed the deal on the role of eBay in their financial future.

Reality and common sense tell us that there is no such thing as “easy money.” There are ways of making money – like those mentioned above – that are particularly suited to certain individuals; that are fulfilling, fun and rewarding if you and that way of making money are compatible. If your personality, skills and psyche are not in synch with a particular profession or business opportunity, failure is assured.

You might make a lot of money, but it won’t be easy, you’ll not be happy, and eventually you’ll find a way out of that situation – drugs, infidelity, alcohol, eBay, fishing, golf or some other distraction. The same holds true for financial practices. We all have two professions; one is the career of our choosing; the second is being our own banker and managing the money that flows through our lives.

Many individuals and families ignore their second profession or see it as a nuisance. That’s because their personality, skills and psyche are out of synch with the way they deal with their money. Americans have been led to believe that their personal economies are best served by “plans” devised by Behemoths – large, publicly owned financial institutions. Those “plans” are the counterparts of the quick and easy money schemes.

It is no more valid to expect to succeed using the standardized robotic thinking that goes into such plans, than it would be to expect every American to succeed on eBay.

There is a better way for you to take control of the money that flows through your life, a much better way; one that is adaptable to every American and to every situation; one that is based on principles and practices that have been known to the money-wise for millennia and practiced by financially successful Americans from the days of the Founding Fathers until today.

You can learn about this amazingly simple and effective approach by following this blog for a year or two or you can spend $29.95 and buy a book that will tell you most of what you need to know to debunk the bull of the Behemoths and escape the Dungeon of Debt they have built for you.
