I haven't read it yet but I'm planning to read it this weekend on my drive to NC. It's about the stock market crash of 1929 and some of the similarities with the market today. It's by Andrew Ross Sorkin (host on CNBC and author of Too Big To Fail) and I've heard it's really good. I'll let you know what I think after I read it.

Entitlement Abolition, written by Douglas R. Andrew, a financial strategist and 3 Dimensional Wealth Mentor of over 40 years, focuses on the ‘Entitlement vs. Empowerment Spectrum’ and how we can work towards abolishing our own entitlement, while also incorporating more accountability, responsibility, and ownership. Not only in business but, maybe more importantly, in our families and communities. This book focuses on a goal of uniting families, communities, and workgroups, and empowering them to thrive and improve their well-being. Andrew challenges you to adjust the “What’s in it for me?” mindset that is all too common, possibly even an epidemic. And to refocus on improving upon your ‘KASH’ (knowledge, attitudes, skills, and habits) in order to cultivate authentic wealth, regardless of how well you are able to cultivate cash wealth. I encourage anyone looking to learn how to identify and avoid traps that could lead to the spread of entitlement to read this book. Questions for thought: 🟢How does this book resonate with you? 🟣How have you previously worked towards building healthy knowledge, attitudes, skills, and habits in the past? 🔵How might you alter your goals, whether financial or family based, after learning more about the scarcity of KASH in your communities? #AuthenticWealth #BuildingDirection #FinancialEducation #ReadMore #FamilyFocused #EntitlementAbolition

That’s the game-changing idea in David McKnight’s book The Power of Zero. 📖✨ He reveals how taxes are likely to rise in the future (thanks to national debt + government spending), and how relying on tax-deferred accounts like 401(k)s and traditional IRAs could actually trap you in a higher tax bracket later. 😳 👉 The secret? Start building tax-free buckets of wealth:✅ Roth IRAs 🌟✅ Roth Conversions 🔄✅ Life Insurance Retirement Plans (LIRPs) 🛡️✅ And more strategic tools that help you shift from being tax-heavy → tax-free. The goal: hit retirement in the 0% tax bracket so Uncle Sam doesn’t get the last laugh! 🏦🚫 💭 Let’s talk: 🔹 Do you believe taxes will be higher or lower in the future? 🔹 What percentage of your retirement is currently in taxable, tax-deferred, or tax-free accounts? 🔹 Would you want to retire at 0% tax? 👇 Drop your thoughts — I’d love to hear how YOU are planning for the future! 🚀

Book Challenge! This book was recommended to me and it’s now on my list to read. If you haven’t read this, I am also recommending it to you. If you have, please post and share your thoughts on it! About the book: Most people set year-long goals and lose steam halfway through 😩… but ‘The 12 Week Year’ changes everything 🚀. By treating every 12 weeks like a full “year,” you get laser-focused, create urgency, and actually build momentum 🎯. You’ll accomplish more in 3 months than most do in 12 🙌. Questions: 👉 Have you ever tried breaking your goals into shorter sprints? 👉 What’s one thing you’d personally love to crush in the next 12 weeks? 💡
