Your Way to True Wealth: How to Make It Happen, Make It Last, and Make It Matter
About this ebook
According to recent studies, one in four Americans has no retirement savings, and the average American carries over $90,000 in debt. These sad statistics can lead many to believe that financial independence is an unachievable dream.
In Your Way to True Wealth, Mike Brown gives readers a reason for hope. He provides the path to achieving financial independence in a simple plan that anyone can follow. Mr. Brown begins with the basics: the simple skills that one needs, such as self-discipline and patience, as well as behaviors to avoid, such as fear and trying to predict the future. In a conversational tone, he takes you through each step, from simple techniques for saving and paying off debt to investing and retiring, and it provides a series of mileposts you can use to measure your progress.
This book is a step-by-step guide to defining wealth, creating it, and using it to live free of financial worry.
