With all the emphasis on the rich and famous in America, we would think we know everything about them. In reality, very few of us truly understand those who make up the very wealthiest Americans--those with liquid assets of $5 million or more. What is this new class of people and how did they get that way?In The New Elite, the authors reveal what motivates our country's most powerful and influential class, what they want, where they shop, and how they really spend their money. With candor and unique insight, they reveal that the people who drive our economy are not Ivy league-educated, luxury-seeking socialites. While they include luminaries like Bill Gates, David Geffen, Ralph Lauren, and Donald Trump, they also include the small business owner next door. Based on unprecedented research with hundreds of interviews with members of this unique group, The New Elite uncovers the five classes of America's newly wealthy--including those who struggle with its implications, those who refuse to let it change them, and those who give it away, and how each of them is changing our culture and economy. This is an entertaining and enlightening look at America's ruling class, the profound ways they have redefined what it means to be rich, and how we court them.

    This ebook cuts out all the BS seen in larger books and gets right to the point. By telling you the story of multiple real estate purchases I have made you will be able to put these practices to use to find properties in your area and close deals. If you want to know how to find and buy houses at rock bottom prices, this book is a good place to start. To make sure you do not waste your money, let me tell you more about to expect. I am a normal, average guy that has purchased all but one house with cash, spending as little as $5,000 and no more than $15,000. My most expensive house was purchased through owner financing. I prefer to buy cheap and use cash so that I do not go into debt. My first house cost $5,000. When I started the process, I only had about $1,000 but I sold some junk and came up with the rest of the money. I originally got into real estate investing because I wanted rental property. While that is still part of my investing, I've moved into buying and selling as well. Another aspect that I recently dipped my toes into is wholesaling, just completing my first deal. My long-term goal is to buy, renovate and sell houses for big profit and wholesale houses due to its low cost and fast turnover. Along the way, I will keep houses if they are great for rentals. If this sounds like you or something you want to work towards, that is the perspective that these books will be written from. Most of my books are short and to the point, I do this because I myself am not a huge reader due to time so I don't want to put you all through having to read a novel just to get some simple points. What it comes down to is that most things are easier than people think. I hope in telling my own story that you are able to push forward and make your first steps into real estate investing a reality. I'll be writing more on topics like this in the future, be sure to follow my Youtube channels, website and other social media for updates. "The Homestead Craftsman" & "Homemade Home" on Youtube.

    Everything else can be made, bought or created. Our life is made up of around 600,000 hours and every second is of infinite value. We live in an attention economy where corporations are fighting for our time with the goal of monetizing our every second. The money we use loses value and devalues our time through inflation. When we work, we are exchanging our limited time for money whose quantity increases every year. It hasn’t always been this way. People used gold as money for a reason; it was also a limited resource. Now, what does the future hold?Valuing your time is the first step to improving your life. Knowing that your time is the only limited resource makes you more selective about the things you do, the people you spend your time with and the assets you choose to store your wealth in. Once you learn to appreciate your time, you will get busy doing the things you love and start making better financial choices.
