Why Common Advice is Useless
When reading about finances or talking to people, I always hear the same useless advice: “You have to learn to save money.” or “It’s hard because the economy is so bad.”
This kind of talk is really just complaints and useless advice. Everyone already knows that saving money will improve their finances. But they have no idea how to do it.
After reading this great post that Matt found over at My Wife Quit Her Job, I noticed that the reason I like Steve’s blog is because it contains information that is fairly rare. It’s not about saving money, it’s about building a powerful positive cash flow asset. It’s not about lamenting about how hard life is and how hard it is to get a job. It is about how Steve’s profit is going up as unemployment rises and the economy goes down.

Saving money at the movies is a challenge for many families when they choose a day out for fun. Unfortunately, the days when going to the movies was considered a “cheap” day out are gone unless you are money savvy. Today you can expect to fork out big if you intend to buy movie snacks, and thinking about bringing your own is about as ethical as bringing your own food to your neighbour’s house without a specific invite. It doesn’t work that way.
. I highly recommend it to everyone because it explains so much of what is happening around us. It also helps us question so many of the things that we tended to just accept.
is one of my favorite financial books of all time. It's an allegory about a guy who has a terrible job, and how he overcomes challenges to achieve his dreams.
