I have read a lot of books from Robert Kiyosaki. I think that he single-handedly changed the way we think about money and investing. I’ll never forget when I read Rich Dad Poor Dad when I was a junior in college. My thinking and thought processes about money would never be the same.
Mere “quotes” can’t summarize [...]

I stumbled across a short video of a guest lecture by Tim Ferriss at Princeton back in 2005.
Ferriss, as you know, is the author of The 4-Hour Workweek, one of my favorite books. (Indeed, I’ve read it twice now).
In this lecture, Tim is answering a question about output and e-mail distractions. His answer is quite [...]

For those of you who don’t know, Jim Regan of The Net Foolreleased his new eBook “Work Smart, Get Rich!” on Friday through the website ebook-rich.com.
I read Jim’s blog regularly, and when I saw this release, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical. However, I read his post about it, and he was offering [...]

As I normally do for Friday’s post, I was fishing around on YouTube, and I started looking specifically for videos about Tim Ferriss and The 4-Hour Workweek. I found this particular video, which appears to be a home-made holiday question-and answer session that Tim did either here in the U.S. or abroad during one of [...]

Yesterday, I explained how you can pay almost zero taxes on your rental income. I highlighted the four main tax deductions landlords and real estate investors often claim: mortgage interest, property taxes, depreciation, and repairs.
However, sometimes those four deductions aren’t enough, and you might have to pay some taxes on your rental income.

When I read and reviewed Robert Shemin’s bestseller How Come That Idiot’s Rich And I’m Not?, I found out that Shemin has actually been writing for quite some time. He has written over a dozen books, and I wanted to list them here to provide more resources for my readers.
Almost all of these books deal with real [...]

YouTube is a great place for viral videos, but it’s also a fantastic resource for information. I wrote a review of Timothy Ferriss’s The 4-Hour Workweek not too long ago. It’s probably one of the best money-related books I’ve ever read, and it’s one of the most important books you can read given the way the [...]

Since I started this blog, I have listed and written about books about passive income, the fall of the U.S. dollar, and millionaires. Here is a list of 10 books that I like that cover entrepreneurship:
1) How to Make Millions with Your Ideas: An Entrepreneur’s Guide
2) Awakening the Entrepreneur Within: How Ordinary People Can Create Extraordinary Companies
3) [...]

The title above refers to a book by Robert Shemin about how to achieve wealth. When I first heard about How Come That Idiot’s Rich And I’m Not, I was skeptical because, honestly, how many of these “how to get rich” books can there be? At what point do people just write books about how [...]

Yesterday, I wrote about how the decision to take the U.S. dollar off the gold standard in 1971 has led, in part, to the fall of the dollar and the jeopardization of the monetary savings of millions of Americans. I am, by no means, an authority, but there are experts out there who have written [...]
