The Lake of Two Rivers

Many people make personal finance more complicated than it really is. Quite simply, investing is placing capital at some kind of risk with a hope and prospect of gaining a return on that investment.

There is nothing more fundamental in personal finance than living within your means. This is the very heart of the Lake of Two Rivers. Starting early, compound interest, dealing with taxation: these are issues that are often times dealt with in a complicated fashion. This may cause many in frustration to give up, vowing never to invest again.

This is not a book of strategy. It is a collection of many life experiences and
mentorship passed on to me in the form of plain, simple truths. I wish to do the same for the reader of this book. One does not have to be a rocket scientist to be a successful investor; one just has to do the right thing.

This is also not a book of features or advantages. It is a book focused on your benefits. This book is designed to make you dream of your own financial possibilities. It may well spur you into addressing habits now holding you back.

If I convince you to pass that same kind of mentorship on to people you love, I will consider this book a success.
