"Investing puts money to work. The only reason to save money is to invest it."Grant Card-oneIf you are reading this book, you probably got tired of all the stress and pressure you put yourself through at work for all your life. Can you imagine studying for more than 20 years only to work for 40 years more? That, my friend, is my definition of chains and lack of freedom. What kind of life have you built then? Sure, you get a degree, learn more from the workplace, improve for a chance of promotion. For what? To wake up at 4:00 in the morning, make breakfast, tidy up and organize yourself, go to work, get stressed at work, deal with a bunch of insensitive people, and go home, feeling tired, only to repeat the cycle over and over again for the rest of your life? See, I am not persuading you into quitting your job nor am I dissuading you from getting one. But think about what you are earning as a regular person earning minimum wage. You pay for your lunch and transportation. You pay for your bills and your children's tuition. Soon, you will be on your 50's and 60's, prone to various diseases such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular, and respiratory diseases. What will you do by then? How will you fend for yourself and your family's needs? For me, a stable way of spending my last years of living would be enjoying every bit of time left for me. I would travel the world, try new things, and accomplish my bucket list. If you dig a little deeper, you will see that their job is just a way of passing time and getting an allowance. On the outside, they have their own businesses where they get the real money from. If you are tired of all the routines, then you got the right book. Imagine this, once you have established a stable investment, its growth will be impenetrable. You can literally leave it behind and let your money multiply. Having this book with you is not a sign of weakness, as some people call investment a lazy man's work. Although a part of it is true because once you succeed, you can do whatever you want without worrying about any requirements, assignments, and work stress. However, the hardest part of starting an investment is the startup. In that phase, your vital force will be challenged by unspeakable means of life torture. So, if people think of you as a crazy person for having this book, I want you to challenge their arguments by proving them wrong. You can start by having a little bit of self-education, then you can work from there. "Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune."Jim Rohn
