Assets make you rich

Assets make you rich

The real path to wealth is building assets, not increasing labor income:

  • Assets put money in your pocket (e.g., real estate, stocks, businesses)
  • Liabilities take money out (e.g., mortgages, car loans, bad debt)
  • Wealthy people focus on acquiring assets early and consistently
  • Income alone doesn't equal wealth if it's all spent on liabilities

The rich buy assets. The poor only have expenses. The middle class buys liabilities they think are assets.

Don’t trade time for money

Trading time for money caps your potential:

  • Time is limited, but smart investments grow on their own
  • Building passive income creates freedom
  • Businesses, real estate, and investments scale better than wages

Mind your money mindset

Mind your money mindset

Wealth starts with how you think, not what you earn:

  • Scarcity says “I can’t”; abundance says “how can I?”
  • Problem-solvers create value and wealth
  • Beliefs about money often become self-fulfilling
  • A growth mindset fuels entrepreneurial thinking

Learn the rules of money

Learn the rules of money

Understanding financial rules is a superpower:

  • Formal education rarely teaches money mastery
  • Knowing tax strategies, legal structures, and investment vehicles gives an edge
  • Smart money avoids taxes, uses debt to build wealth, and creates protective structures
  • You win by playing a smarter game, not working harder

A little bit of narcissism never killed anybody, or has it?

CURATOR'S NOTE

Ever feel like school taught you algebra but not how to buy a house or grow your savings? This book is that missing manual. It’s the story of two dads—one rich, one poor—and the radically different ways they teach their kids about money, work, and wealth. Spoiler: one teaches freedom, the other teaches fear.
