    The world has changed.  
    The antiquated concepts of money, savings, and retirement are no longer valid. The tired advice of diversify, set it and forget it, or invest early, often and always, has been tried, and it has failed.  
    Rather than scrimping and saving or grinding and hustling while you wait for one day, someday, Money Unmasked shows you a radically different and reliable approach to creating an exciting and compelling future without compromise.    
    Money Unmasked unveils the truth about making, keeping, and growing your money and enjoying life along the way. Rather than trading time for money or speculating and taking risks, Money Unmasked shows you how to plug financial leaks and tap into hidden capital so you can utilize the Cycle of Creation to profit up front and take control of your financial future. 
    Gunderson unveils an entirely new philosophy, a new way of being that can change your family’s financial destiny while immediately improving your quality of life—since you keep more of the money you make without cutting back. 
    By tapping into your Money Persona, you see beyond the constraints of scarcity, you can accelerate results, reduce risk, have more energy, and start making better financial decisions. And by learning how to profit from your ideas up front—without risking or borrowing a single dollar but instead making money on the buy—you can collect a quick win on your ideas and start creating immediate cash flow. You can lower risk, improve return, and be profitable from day one. 
    If you are ready to fully understand money, create wealth, and live a life you don’t want to retire from, it’s time for Money Unmasked.

    A Traveler in Time by August Derleth - You can't always escape evils by running away from them... but it may help! 
    "Tell me what time is," said Harrigan one late summer afternoon in a Madison Street bar. "I'd like to know." 
    "A dimension," I answered. "Everybody knows that." 
    "All right, granted. I know space is a dimension and you can move forward or back in space. And, of course, you keep on aging all the time." 
    "Elementary," I said. 
    "But what happens if you can move backward or forward in time? Do you age or get younger, or do you keep the status quo?" 
    "I'm not an authority on time, Tex. Do you know anyone who traveled in time?" 
    Harrigan shrugged aside my question. "That was the thing I couldn't get out of Vanderkamp, either. He presumed to know everything else." 
    "Vanderkamp?" 
    "He was another of those strange people a reporter always runs into. Lived in New York—downtown, near the Bowery. Man of about forty, I'd say, but a little on the old-fashioned side. Dutch background, and hipped on the subject of New Amsterdam, which, in case you don't know, was the original name of New York City." 
    "Don't mind my interrupting," I cut in. "But I'm not quite straight on what Vanderkamp has to do with time as dimension." 
    "Oh, he was touched on the subject. He claimed to travel in it. The fact is, he invented a time-traveling machine."
