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.
