The Nine Laws to Financial Freedom
My book, Millionaire Teacher, became an international bestseller, but I didn’t write it to make money. Instead, I wanted to offer evidence-based financial suggestions that people could benefit from. Many of the lessons within Millionaire Teacher can be found in 9 Laws to Financial Freedom. You could save your money and NOT buy the book.
Introduction: Getting Real About Denial
When I was five years old, I received a tetanus shot in school. I bawled like a patsy but eventually learned that I wouldn’t be receiving my next shot until the fifth grade. This was the greatest news ever; in my mind, grade five was adulthood, or pretty close to it. Lost in denial (with my parents’ traffic warnings ringing in my ears) I figured an unseen Chevy could end everything before the distant age of ten. So why sweat it?
My Kindergarten denial was harmless, but financial denial is potentially dangerous. The odds are decent that you’ll reach retirement age. I don’t actually like the “R” word myself. I prefer “financial freedom” instead: the option to work — if you choose to — or lay on a hammock after a workout and a massage for as many years as you wish. If this sounds desirable, please keep reading; I’ll list a few laws you could follow to increase your odds of financial success.
