Any Money Monday - American...

Ivan F. Rivero

Money. That which almost all of us chase. Whether we like it or not, that's why most of us set the alarm, hopefully only from Monday to Friday.
And what if I tell you that the flow of money is infinite, and that only a few people open and close the tap at will? Yes, it may sound like a joke, a cheap trick of a parlor. In fact, it's not magic, although as a system it's quite elaborate.
This book will help you understand everything you need to know about money, whether you are experienced in finance, or you have no clue whatsoever!
In these pages I'm going to tell you how this happens. Chewed. In street language, and with as few technicalities as possible. You don't need to know anything beforehand to understand it. Just read and not much else.
In fact, I've narrated it thinking that the only thing you know how to do with money is earn it, save it, and spend it. Not much more, and nothing less. Like the vast majority.
I go to the point. No filler content. No straw. We are just on time and we are not for stories.
I will teach you to understand and cut through the mess.
You will learn how to start defending yourself financially and never feel cheated again!
If you're waiting for investment recommendations, this is not your book. Not yet. If you're expecting to become a millionaire right now, that's not it either.
There are no magic pills or shortcuts here. What you will find are the economic pitfalls in which we usually get trapped, and without the possibility of escape!
Look. They're not fooling me anymore. What I tell you is part of what has allowed me to escape this system and be free from it. This work is the first of several, where I will eventually tell you everything.
So come with me and discover how easy it can be to master money!
