Publisher Description
As a financial advisor on Wall Street, Ryan Sterling had seen it all: the unfulfilled millionaires, the disgruntled divorcees, the ego-driven over-spenders. Their money was no longer a beneficial resource, but instead an incredible burden that eventually defined them. But when "them" turned into "him" and he found himself on the verge of a personal collapse, it became clear that building and managing wealth is a lot more complex than formulas or forecasts.
Many of us live in constant unrest as we fill voids with possessions and chronically battle the urge to consume. In You're Making Other People Rich, Ryan explores how to use mindfulness and intention to restore your relationship with wealth. He shows you not only how to invest, but also how to be aware of consumer exploitation so that you can take accountability for your future and make deliberate strides toward financial independence.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Financial adviser Sterling, creator of the Future You Wealth blog, debuts with some savvy advice on managing one's finances in order to maximize quality of life. When Sterling was going through a divorce and facing bankruptcy (despite a well-paid executive position and all the usual trappings of success), he realized he had fallen prey to the common mistake of spending money just because he had money. Feeling more burdened by the stress of maintaining wealth than enjoying it, Sterling decided to think past the formulas he used at work. After explaining the perspective shifts necessary to break one's attachment to "the pleasure of money"—particularly defining wealth on one's own terms and "gamifying" one's spending habits to help with saving—Sterling outlines strategies for building wealth: consistently saving; investing in the stock market, real estate, and bonds; and managing risk. While the advice is familiar, Sterling's explanations of various financial outlooks, accountability exercises (such as making lists of wants versus needs), and can-do attitude will provide readers with the confidence to change their thinking about money. Those interested in strategies for building wealth should take a look. (Self-published)
