Summary of Rob Berger's Retire Before Mom and Dad

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The world has blinded us from the truth about money and happiness. In the movie The Matrix, the illusion that the world was normal was created by the Matrix. In our world, the deception we've come to believe about money and happiness comes from many sources.#2 The world tells us that the average person can't achieve Financial Freedom. Unless you make a six-figure salary, are born into money, or win the lottery, you can forget about becoming a millionaire or attaining Financial Freedom.#3 If we believe Lie #2, we don't see Financial Freedom as a goal worth pursuing. We'll never reach the goal, and we'll be too old to enjoy it once we do. But Lie #2 doesn't see Financial Freedom as a destination decades away. It sees it as a journey that can begin very early on.#4 The world tells us that true happiness is expensive. The American dream requires a big house, two fancy cars, and world travel. Without this stuff, we're not living life to the fullest.
