Determined to retire as early as possible in order to start living each day - as opposed to wishing time away working for the weekends - they enacted a plan to save an enormous amount of money: well over 70 percent of their joint take-home pay.

When you own your freedom, you're tied to the business no more, able to choose why and how to spend your time and money. In Own Your Freedom, co-authors Dr. David Phelps and Dan S. Kennedy describe the freedom you can enjoy when you earn passive income through capital investments like real estate. By investing in your capital, the people in your life, and your skills, you can achieve freedom well before a fabled retirement date.

Brenda, Kevin, and the kids were stuck...Brenda had taken a 20 percent pay cut and was told by her boss she should feel "lucky to still have a job". But they were already living paycheck to paycheck.

Average to Abundant reveals the missing link between desiring wealth and actually achieving it! Have you ever wondered why some people seem to succeed while others struggle? Is the difference found in their genetic make-up, part of the world they live, family background, race, education, intelligence, or sheer luck? Unfortunately, none of these reasons apply.

Many of the central concerns of the twenty-first century—racial inequity, white supremacy movements, greater inclusiveness of diverse peoples—are rooted in facing and overcoming prejudices, both common and hidden.
