Editor’s Note: Today we’re taking a look at a legendary essay on wealth-building by our friend Mark Ford. Many folks who read this essay call it an “eye-opener.” In it, Mark explains how to consistently build your wealth, even in a terrible economy.
Mark has more insight into this than most. He’s built dozens of businesses from scratch… creating millions of dollars of wealth in the process. Mark knows more about building wealth than just about anyone.
Today, he explains how you can gain financial independence… even if you think it’s too late.
Waa! It’s not fair!
We baby boomers were told that if we worked hard and saved, we could spend the last quarter of our lives living comfortably and free from financial worries. Our parents told us. Our employers told us. Even the government told us.
How often, during our years of toil, did we daydream about those future days? The leisurely breakfasts, the afternoons golfing, dinners with friends, weekends with our grandchildren…
(Note to younger people: Don’t stop reading. What I’m saying here applies to you too—in spades!)
But now that we are reaching retirement age, the promise is beginning to feel like a fraud.
