Retirement is one of the most profitable lies ever told. It’s not freedom—it’s a delayed life sentence and planned bankruptcy. The worst part? While you save and sacrifice for this end goal, Wall Street profits off the back of your hard work. Your 401(k)? They charge you tons of hidden fees.

An educational and uplifting foundation in financial mindsets and rules of thumb. A walking, talking billfold of cash takes readers through the ins and outs of money.

Money explains its value as well as how to earn it (mowing lawns, selling lemonade), spend it, save it, and share it.

What is money, really? It’s just a thing we made up. A man-made tool of efficiency, invented so we wouldn’t be stuck bartering. “6 pumpkins for a goat?” No? “I’ll trade you one of my kids for that cow”. Seems fair. Money is a way to exchange value, as well as to store value.
