Millionaire by Thirty: The Quickest Path to Early Financial Independence

Most people know that there are 70 million Baby Boomers in America today....but what is less known is that there are approximately 100 million people in America between the ages of 16 and 30. This generation has just entered, or will soon be entering the work force. And they have no idea how to invest, save, or handle their money. Young people today come out of school having had little or no formal education on the basics of money management. Many have large debts from student loans looming over their heads. And many feel confused and powerless when their pricey educations don't translate into high paying jobs. They feel that their $30,000-$40,000 salary is too meager to bother with investing, and they constantly fear that there will be 'too much month left at the end of their money.' Douglas R. Andrew has shown the parents of this generation a different pathway to financial freedom. Now, he passes those vital lessons to his sons, Emron and Aaron, both of whom are in their mid-20s. Together, Doug, Aaron, and Emron show the under-30 crowd how they can break from traditional 401k investment plans and instead can find a better way by investing in real estate, budgeting effectively, avoiding unnecessary taxes and using life insurance to create tax-free income. With the principles outlined in Millionaire by Thirty, recent graduates will be earning enough interest on their savings to meet their basic living expenses by the time they're 30. And by the time they're 35, their investments will be earning more money than they are, guaranteeing them a happy, wealthy future.

Rich Woman

Dear Listener, Rich Woman is an audiobook on investing for women. Why an investment book written just for women? There's a very good reason. The how-to's of investing; how to buy and sell a stock or how to find a profitable rental property are the same for men and women. What's different are the unique issues that women face when it comes to money and investing. Here are some eye-opening statistics: * 47% of women over the age of 50 are single. * 50% of marriages end in divorce. (The #1 thing couples fight about is money.) * In the first year after a divorce, a woman's standard of living drops an average of 73%. * 90% of all women will be solely responsible for their financial well-being within their lifetime. Let's face it women, what worked for our mothers and grandmothers is not working for most of us, our daughters and our granddaughters. So now is the time for women to get smarter with their money. My passion is to educate and encourage women to create the financial security and peace of mind they want and deserve in their lives. If that's what you want, then I trust this audiobook will be of great value to you. Here's to your success as a Rich Woman! With thanks, Kim Kiyosaki

Get Real, Get Rich

Raised by a single parent in the impoverished south side of Chicago as the youngest of five children, Farrah Gray defied the odds to become a millionaire at the age of fourteen. He made his second million by sixteen and now inspires thousands through his speeches, writing, and consulting. His recipe for success: attitude, hustle, and an emphatic rejection of the most pervasive lies most of us believe about money and success. In Get Real, Get Rich, Farrah breaks down those seven lies one by one. Have you ever thought to yourself I'll never be rich because I wasn't born with connections, or a special talent? That's The Born Lucky Lie. The truth is this: Luck is about showing up. And Farrah will help you move beyond the lottery mentality. If you've convinced yourself that you must first have money to make money, then you've fallen prey to The Money Lie. In the real world, the path to millions starts with just one dollar, and Farrah can help you find that first one. Perhaps you recognize yourself in one of these other misconceptions: I have to hit it big in entertainment or sports to be rich (The Celebrity Lie). I have to work hard and make sacrifices to be rich (The Work Hard Lie). I have to have zero debt to be rich (The Debt Lie). I have to be super smart or invent something the world relies on to be rich (The Google and Gates Lie). I have to know a lot about the stock market or work on the Street to be rich (The Wall Street Lie). In seven simple and provocative chapters blending inspiration and an actionable wealth building plan, Farrah lays out your road map to a richer life. "Too many of us live paycheck to paycheck and pray that those compilations of books and CDs and DVDs will somehow lead us to 'automatic wealth.' News flash: There's no such thing as automatic wealth - at least not in the real world. In this book, I'm not only going to share the mind-set you need to achieve all that you dream, but also the specific strategies that accompany that state of mind. I want to help you marshal out your own wealth potential, which relates to everything about you - not just your bank account."
