John Mauldin’s November 26, 2008 Weekly Eletter begins with the following quote:

“It will therefore be crucial that you see the world anew. That means looking from the outside in to reanalyze much that you have probably taken for granted. This will enable you to come to an understanding. If you fail to transcend conventional thinking at a time when conventional thinking is losing touch with reality, then you will be more likely to fall prey to an epidemic of disorientation that lies ahead. Disorientation breeds mistakes that could threaten your business, your investments and your way of life.”

– James Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg, The Sovereign Individual, 1997

The Money for Life Model of wealth creation and money management challenges convetional thinking [we refer to it as conventional wisdom] at every step.  As an alternative to the lemming-like behavior that conventional wisdom engenders, The Money for Life Model suggests that awareness is the first essential characteristic of intelligent financial decision-making.  Watching and listening to the commercials of the financial Behemoths – including the advice from their minions – tells you only what they wish you to know.

It’s 2008.  Look where their advice has gotten us…and them!

It’s time to become aware of the reality that the Behemoths [any large business, union, government bureacracy or NGO] wants only to gain control of as much of your money as possible - regadless of whether or not that serves your best interest.
