Someone is bound to get burned... Meg Buchanan is determined to prove she didn’t get the trainer job in Redmond, Oregon’s rookie smokejumper class because of her family’s long history as firefighters—or out of pity. But if teaching one of her own brothers isn’t challenge enough, she’s shocked to see Lance Roberts in the new class of recruits. Once her brother’s best friend, and her first, unrequited crush, he’s also the son of the man responsible for her dad’s death.

This is book which I want everyone to read to understand how we found ourselves overwhelmed by a society choking on debt. Our government and country has crushed us, our children, and grandchildren with $20 trillion in debts which can never be paid off. They use the Federal Reserve System to debase our money so we have to work harder and longer ad infinium. They use the media and advertising to make each of us to desire more. We are told to buy things what we don't need with money that we don't have. Nobody wishes to tackle the problem, so the spending has gotten so out of control that there is now no way out. I argue that a severe financial depression (probably the worst that we have ever seen) will wipe out the savings and wealth of most of us in the not-too-distant future. I then describe what you should do to protect yourself. I cover strategies such as purchasing precious metals and living a minimalist lifestyle. Please download the free e-book copy and prepare yourself. It is better to be ready.
Personal wealth isn’t the only purpose of hard work and investment; it’s also important to be able to pass wealth on to one’s children and grandchildren. Wealth transfer and distribution is a game, and if played poorly—or if it is not realized a game is being played—one’s fortune can be eaten away by a combination of poor investments and unfair taxation. Written by a financial advisor with decades of experience, Playing the Game prepares people for the game of Wealth Transfer and Distribution, enabling them to pass on their fortune intact so that future generations may enjoy it.
