The TEN TRUTHS of WEALTH CREATION
How to achieve your money goals sooner and safer,
in good times and bad.
  REVIEW: "The Ten Truths of Wealth Creation is an easy, worthwhile read
for both new and experienced investors at any life stage. It can be read sequentially or you can jump to topics of particular interest to you." Read the whole review.
My new book is the distillation of a quarter century of experience helping rescue thousands of people from their misconceptions about how money works and how to achieve financial security.
As the youngest of four boys, I grew up in Connecticut dressing out of the barrel of hand-me-downs in our basement, and working to pay my way through parochial school and college. I knew what it was like to worry about money. Early in my career as an investment advisor, when my 62-year-old father's job was merged out of existence, I showed him that instead of having to work to age 70 striving to pay off his mortgage, he was able to retire then and there. Those are the kinds of moments I live for and have experienced countless times.
I've taken all I've learned and teach to clients and put it between covers: the ten essential truths about wealth creation. This is not a book about how to get rich. It will surprise you with basic concepts and practical suggestions to help you avoid losing money on costs such as taxes, and how to use your home equity and certain types of insurance to become your own bank. I invite you to read, learn, prosper and use this web site to keep up with latest trends and commentary on issues that affect your financial independence. Send me your questions and I'll try to answer them online (see below).

June 2, 2008: "Actions that make us feel good are usually a lot less profitable than the ones that make us feel bad or stupid." So says a successful investment manager in a recent Wall Street Journal article, and I couldn't agree more. Human nature is our worst enemy when it comes to creating and preserving wealth.
