WHY? Americans need to START treating money as a religion and:
- Get off the earn-it, spend-it treadmill.
- Live a degree below their means.
- Live up to the Buffets, Gates and Hiltons-not the Joneses.
- Stop spending for external gratification.
- Understand the most important money is that which others cannot see.
- Learn to be thrifty.
- Invest in appreciating assets-not toys!
Have YOU said NO to your kids (or yourself) lately? Saving for a rainy day has gone the
way of dial phones-and money does not grow on trees. Today is the day to start saying
NO to your family's wants (not needs).
Wise money management is a philosophy-a mindset. Rich is a Religion: Breaking the
Timeless Code to Wealth, examines the wealthy, the famous (and not so famous, and
happy to be that way), and how they use money as an instrument of independence,
confidence, stability and enduring value. Author Mark Stevens shows how those who
embrace the " 'religion' of the rich" (how they think/use money) can weather any
economic downturn because it is NOT what you earn in life, but what you keep.
Today's parents are not teaching children about money, and now have to learn along with
them about the reality of being behind in payments, job loss, no savings, etc.
Readers of this book will learn how to be thrifty, exercise discipline, control fiduciary
responsibility, to buy appreciable assets, not toys, and much more. Mark says, "The
secret to building and maintaining wealth is by changing your philosophy. Learn how to
live like the rich do-one degree below your means."
Now that's a message we all need to hear and live by starting today.
