    Book Review: The Legacy Journey 📚

    It’s been over six years since I’ve picked up this book, and I thought now was a good time. Dave spends most of his time on the air talking about getting out of debt and saving for retirement. This is a totally different book in which he articulates his vision for managing wealth. He creates a framework that helps to process financial decisions once consumer debts are paid off and when family budgets have room to grow.

    It was an interesting book and a good read. As with all financial advice, I’ve collected many tidbits and will incorporate them into my own personal financial philosophy.

    Would I recommend: YES

  • A Phase-Four Flop - WSJ

    Nearly all of this spending is a form of income maintenance, replacing private incomes with government payments. The goal is to keep the public feeling good about the politicians who are writing the checks. But the good feeling will expire when the money runs out, and then people will want either more checks or a stronger economy that is creating private jobs. Even the U.S. can’t borrow forever to replace the incomes lost from a buoyant economy.

  • China Fortifies Hong Kong’s Role as Financial Powerhouse - WSJ

    senior Chinese officials discussed how to integrate Hong Kong with the rest of China, economically as well as politically, without diminishing its role as a global financial center. Their thinking was that the lure and size of the Chinese market would continue to help Hong Kong prosper and draw international investors, even with changes to the legal and political structures that underpinned Hong Kong’s economic freedom.

    Stomping on the freedom of Hong Kong just to make a buck. The Chinese really understand Westerners.
