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