So, what's his deal about money? Genuinely curious.
I'm sure he doesn't say to stay poor, but why is pursuing money retarded? You need your bills paid and to get free of the rat race, no?
Levi Collins
He says that setting too high a net worth goal is a bad idea because you either spend too much time or take too much risk accumulating money.
He had a goal in the 80s to have a net worth of $5M and in the process lost over 750k on Texas apartment buildings. He says you need to work up a shopping list (not a wishlist) of things you want to buy, and are prepared to spend your time accumulating money to pay for.
He also points out that for most wealthy people, financial independence comes earlier than many expect. He discourages people from buying ridiculous items like house over 3000sqft, private jets, etc:

I guess I'll need to read it then, I must be missing something.
Not to belittle it, but it does sound super-obvious, like something you'd tell a brand-new lottery winner that has only a 5th grade education. "Don't start buying huge mansions and private jets"

Yeah you really do need to read it. Read the testimonials, worst case you are out 50 bucks but it is a fucking good book.
