Timeless & Timely Advice to ALL Investors

Brett Machtig stays out of the abstract - and instead focuses on what real people can and should do to better their money situation. Building wealth is a lifetyle process - not a hobby or weekend activity. The smallest attitude changes towards your daily spending habits / credit card payments / investment decisions build upon each other. Wealth in a Decade honestly changed the way I look at my money. When you constantly stress about money, or your investments, or your debt, you are unhappy. I was. It's unavoidable. Mr. Machtig lays out a process whereby you go from working for money to your money working for you. Financial freedom is where you can wake up and work is optional. From the debt-riddled post-graduate to the diligent saver, Wealth in a Decade has a strategy for you to get financially free. I highly recommend you put it on the top of your book list.

Great book to make you evaluate your financial goals

This is a book that has very practical information that you can start implementing right away. At the back of every chapter he has a series of excercises that you go through and figure out your tolerance for risk, what goals do you have for your long term well being, etc.It is great for using on conjunction with your personal goals that you may be setting, therefore giving you personal as well as financial goals.

Most influential book of my financial life.

If this book and its principles were required learning for all U.S. citizens, our country would be out of debt and our citizens would all be comfortably wealthy in one generation. Well, maybe two. If people stopped being poverty ridden and afraid, there would be 95% less reason to want to fight wars because other countries wouldn't be a threat. Then, when other countries saw what we were doing in terms of our money, they would be motivated to learn the same principles, and just think what our world could be! It's a dream, but it's a dream we can accomplish, beginning with the wealth-building practices in Wealth In A Decade. Please, do yourself a favor and buy and read it. Thank you.

If you could only own one book on personal finance.....

An excellent book for beginning as well as experienced investors. As a personal finance teacher, I recommend it to all of my students and find myself referring back to it for ideas on my personal portfolio.While true "wealth in a decade" may be a stretch for most people, wealth in two or three decades is a very realistic goal for the majority of Americans. This book can show them the way.

Personal finance book of the year!

This book shows you how to: * get out of debt in three years * pay off your home in seven years * how to invest without gambling or having to predict the stock markets * and save enough to pay the remaining bills from the returns of your investment portfolio. As the author of this book, I have now helped thousands achieve wealth, which is simply living from the returns from your investments. People of all income levels and situations. If you can pay your bills with your cashflow, most of you can live off the returns of your investments in the same manner as the wealthy in less than 10 years. Of all the financial books out there, this one tells you how to get out of debt painlessly, manage your investments without having to predict the markets, and how to have freedom -- financial freedom. Other tools are available - audiocassettes, CD-ROMs and a wealth analysis (for those that want help, WCS will calculate for you how much you need to achieve wealth given your spending, how long it will take you to get out of debt, and how long it will take YOU to live off the returns of your investments. As I am writing this review of my own book, I am in Nashville preparing for an event for thousands of college students. On the flight to Nashville, Ed happened to sit next to me on my flight connecting through Memphis. Ed was 45 years old and a cameraman for ABC sports. I asked him as I do many folks, "What are the chances for you to achieve wealth?" He said he had two chances - slim and none. After a divorce and spending he cannot control he was not excited to work anymore. By the time we landed he knew exactly how he could achieve wealth in 49 months. Can you imagine how "juiced" he felt knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel. Knowing that he could stop being the perverbial gerbil running on the wheel with all his energy and going nowhere. Stop being a slave to your financial situation and read this book! I wish you wealth, health and love. Brett A. Machtig Author, Wealth In A Decade, The Corporate Guide To Profit & Wealth, Thrive By Thirty-five
