Despite scientific advances that improve our quality of life on a daily basis...

Despite the need to work less than ever before to meet our basic needs...

Despite centuries of wisdom to guide us to financial prosperity...

Today, individuals, corporations, and governments are all struggling financially.

 

We can help ourselves in this struggle by reviving the three hundred pearls of wisdom contained in this book...

Or we can continue trampling them under our feet as we march to financial ruin. 

 

 

 

 

 

The greatest threats to your future lie within, not without.  The financial damage that can be caused by outside sources pales in comparison to the damage that can be caused by our own greed and our own fears. 

WHIPSAWED takes an  insightful look at these two most basic human emotions.  It looks at the causes of each and the damage each of these emotions generates.  In addition, WHIPSAWED looks at how these two emotions can team up to punish twice those who fail to keep them under control. 

Most important, WHIPSAWED offers methods to keep these emotions from undermining our best attempts to build a stable financial future.    

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
MONETARIUS MORONICUS:
     A mental affliction that causes its victims to self-inflict financial wounds.  It is most commonly caused by inadequate financial education, vulnerability to marketing messages, and an inability to delay gratification.  Symptoms include high debt, stress, depression, divorce, bankruptcy, even suicide.  Those who suffer from Monetarius Moronicus are known as MONEY MORONS.
     While it is not contagious, children of adults suffering from Monetarius Moronicus are at an increased risk to develop the condition.  Treatment is often hampered because victims tend to ignore warning signs until the condition reaches critical status. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The tragedy isn’t how much you work;
it's how little you may get from it.
  
Start at age 18 (college counts), retire at age 68 (that’s optimistic for anyone who is under age 40), and you are likely to accumulate 6,000,000 minutes of work.  
 
You may derive little satisfaction or sense of purpose from work.   And, to make matters worse,  you may have too little to show at the end of those 6,000,000 minutes of work. 
 
It doesn’t have to be that way.
