PRACTICAL MONEY ADVICE FOR YOUNG MEN 2.0


Book Description

This isn’t much of a sales pitch at this point. I’m just going to keep it real with you. I wrote a lot of books in my day. I barely put much effort into some of the books I wrote and published, but this one is different. I actually tried this one. I don’t care what anyone says. This book is better than most of the mainstream personal finance books out there. I put so much valuable advice that will help you save money and increase your net worth and income that you would look like a hater if you gave this book below a 4 out of 5 star review. That’s how confident I am with the content in this book. I literally show you how to LEGALLY pay less in taxes, how to realistically get ahead in the United States, what kind of investments you should make, how to improve your credit score, and how to use debt to increase your income/net worth. I’m saving you money and making you thousands of dollars at the same time in this book, and all you have to do is put in the work. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. No, I’m not suggesting that you fire your boss i.e. quit your job. In fact, I advise you to keep your job in this book. I have a job, besides writing and selling books, by the way. That’s called having more than one stream of income and I talk about that in this book. I swear to God you will learn something that can change the course of your life and all you would have to do is work at it. It’s not easy, but this stuff is simple. More importantly, some of this material are things you’re going to have to do later on in life anyway, so why not just do it now? This is definitely not a BS Tony Robbins personal finance book with over 680 pages about compound interest, him shamelessly promoting financial firms that he has an ownership stake in, and saving 10% to 20% of your income. This is a raw and real book written by a guy who is only a few steps ahead of you. That’s it. I’m not a guru. This is not a scam. I put my heart and soul into making this. I wrote this book as if it was for the 18 year old me. Anyone who leaves a review saying that this book lacks realistic actionable advice is a straight up hater. There’s no way in hell you’re going to say this book that has over 20 chapters did not teach you anything that can result in you changing your life financially. I even provide screenshots to back up my legitimacy as an expert on finance. I even did what most of these personal finance authors don’t have the guts to do. I talk about my personal life and the mistakes I made that cost me thousands of dollars. That’s why this genre is called personal finance, right? I get real personal. Some might say it's too personal. Anyway, if you’re a man that is tired of being broke, living paycheck to paycheck, not owning any assets, being clueless about taxes, and not being able to get ahead in the United States then this is the book for you. I started off as a poor black boy in a small town in Alabama. I currently have a 6-figure net worth. If I can do it, you can too. Buy this book today.

Finance for the People


Book Description

An illustrated, practical guide to navigating your financial life, no matter your financial situation "a potent mix of deeply practical and wonderfully empathetic" —Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial "one of the most approachable financial books I've ever read." —Refinery 29 We are all weird about money. Whether you have a lot or a little, your feelings and beliefs about money have been shaped by a combination of silence (or even shame) around talking about money, personal experiences, family and societal expectations, and a whole big complex system rigged against many of us from the start. Begin with that baseline premise and it’s no surprise so many of us find it so difficult to save enough money (but way too easy to get trapped in ballooning credit card debt), emotionally draining to deal with student loans, and nearly impossible to understand the esoteric world of investing. Unlike most personal finance books that focus on skills and behaviors, FINANCE FOR THE PEOPLE asks you to examine your beliefs and experiences around money—blending extremely practical exercises with mindfulness, and including more than 50 illustrations and diagrams to make the concepts accessible (and even fun). With deep insider expertise from years spent in many different corners of the financial industry, Paco de Leon is a friendly, approachable, and wise guide who invites readers to change their relationship with money. With her holistic approach you’ll learn how to: • root out your unconscious beliefs about money • untangle the mental and emotional burden of student loans to pay them off • use a gratitude practice to help you think differently about spending • break out of the debt cycle and begin building wealth This book is for anyone who feels unseen, ignored, or bored to death by the way personal finances are approached and taught, and is ready to go on a journey of self-discovery and step into their financial power.
