It’s Not Cool
nI thought long and hard about sharing with you our financial success,
nespecially during times like these. I know that millions of people have lost their
njobs, their homes, and their businesses. I also know that, in most situations, it
nis not polite to talk about financial success. Bragging is never cool, especially
nabout money.
nYet, I decided to write about real-life investments. I want you to understand
nhow we gained our financial education, how we use that education, and why it
nis an unfair advantage, especially in a declining economy. I write not to brag.
nI write to encourage people to learn, study, practice, and possibly see the world
ndifferently. In 2011, there is a lot of money in the world. There are trillions
nof dollars looking for a home because governments of the world are printing
ntrillions in counterfeit money, aka fiat currency. Governments do not want the
nworld to go into a depression, so they print more funny money. This is why the
nprice of gold and silver go up and why savers are losers.
nThe problem is that this phony money is in the hands of only a few people.
nSo, the rich get richer, the poor and middle class grow poorer, the economy
nworsens, and the problem grows bigger.
nAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, poverty in America increased to
nnearly 15 percent of the population in September 2010. This means over
n4 million people moved from the middle class into poverty, just as Donald
nTrump and I predicted in our book Why We Want You To Be Rich. This is
ndangerous. This is not healthy.
nAt the risk of sounding like a braggart, I decided to write this book about
nreal-life investments. I believe it is uncool to know something and not share
nwhat I know. That would be greedy. I write because I believe we need real
nfinancial education before the world economy can truly recover. Ultimately,
nI write because I believe it is better to teach people to fish than to give
npeople fish.
