    About this ebook

    Do you feel like you're not making progress financially? Welcome to America and the world of capitalism.

     

    Inflation is the cost of being alive. We can't sit still for a few seconds without prices increasing somewhere.

     

    To get ahead, we must make a drastic change in our lives. This change could be moving to a small city or relocating overseas.

     

    There is no use fighting about how unfair the cost of living is in America. It's time to make a serious move to save 50% of our income.

     

    If we can save and invest 50% of our income, we have a chance to survive and thrive in America. 

     

    My family is moving overseas, so we can hit these critical milestones. What will you do to achieve a 50% saving rate?

      01  America Will Never Let You Rest

      Do you have the feeling that you are constantly running in place? That every time you make some progress, you have another financial setback?

      Welcome to America. Welcome to capitalism. The only way to get ahead in America is to become uber-rich.

      Yes, we can get ahead of bills by living below our means and building additional income streams. But how do we reach the point where our entire family (adult kids) is also good?

      Become Insanely Productive During the Magic Hours

      Ideally, we must get to the point where we can live on 50% of our income and invest the rest. This is how we can ensure the quality of life for future generations.

      Working through inflation. But how can we reach the 50% investment level if inflation and other cost of living adjustments continually impede our progress?

      For example, let’s take a look at one of my rental properties. In 2023, my mortgage (with principal, interest, taxes, insurance) was $1,345; I charged $1,800 for rent.

      In 2024, I will raise the rent to $1,900, which is excellent for my tenants. However, my new mortgage is $1,410 because of higher property taxes.

      So, of my $100 pay raise, the local government took $65. Of course, I could raise the rent more, but that’s not how I want to proceed.

      Don’t Gamble with Retirement 2

      This financial encroachment happens across all spectrums of our daily lives. Food, gas, utilities, subscriptions, repairs, electronics, phones, and college are constantly rising. How are Americans supposed to react?

      Inflation is the cost of being alive. First, we must understand that inflation is a part of life and accept it on its merits.

      Inflation separates the weak from the strong and the poor from the rich. Once you grasp how powerful
