Thumbnail image for Is There a “Secret” to Building Wealth?

Ask me that before this past weekend and I would have adamantly stomped my foot down and said, “don’t be ridiculous, of COURSE NOT! What on earth have you been smoking?” You know that I believe 100% of most so-called “secrets” involve nothing more than hard work and perseverance, followed by more hard work and [...]

Ahhhh, Black Friday. The craziest shopping day of the year. America’s Ode to Consumerism…shop-til-you-drop-and-never-stop—do it for your country! For your economy! To line retailers’ pockets and fill your house with more stuff you’ve been conned into thinking you truly “want” and “need”! (And is it just me, or have they started decorating for Christmas now [...]

Continuing my interviews from the recent Casey Summit, with big thanks again to the awesome Casey Research team, I had the great honor to sit down and talk with one of the (if not THE) best investors I have ever met (although he might consider himself more of a speculator).  Rick Rule is Chairman of [...]

Thumbnail image for Adventures in Extra Income…

If you’ve been reading for awhile (thank you!) you know I put much more stock and focus on the importance of earning more income (and investing that income wisely) than I do on clipping coupons and “not spending” money. Don’t get me wrong…both skills are vital to your financial future, but you will get a lot [...]

I will of course share those with you as soon as [...]

Happy Friday, Dear Grasshopper! I’m feeling thoughtful today (go figure), and it’s been ages since I’ve quoted my man Bruce (shame on me), so I want to start today’s missive with an observation on arguably the very best and most expensive currency in the entire world, including (gasp!) gold itself… Time. “To spend time is [...]

Thumbnail image for Is It “Realistic” To Achieve Financial Independence?

You bet it is! And it’s time to declare your own Independence Day. It’s a holiday week here in the U.S., and everyone is talking about “Independence Day”. I am, too…but as usual, probably a little differently than everyone else.   That’s right…instead of droning on about the fourth of July (although I might get [...]

With St. Patty’s Day looming on Saturday and my two little girls asking me daily about leprechauns and rainbows and mystical pots of gold, I have “luck” on my mind this week! Specifically, what exactly is luck, and is there anything you can do to become “luckier”? (Happy news spoiler alert: YES, there is!) luck [...]

Imagine this: you’re sipping cocktails on the beach on a tropical island while dozens of gorgeous, scantily-clad women or men (take your pick…) fan your body with exotic rattan fans, feed you peeled grapes, and take care of your every whim. Luxury surrounds you… Meanwhile, your bank account is quietly expanding, day after day, through [...]

Happy Friday! You may have noticed that I didn’t post yesterday…due to my upcoming hectic travel schedule (next week I will be in Santiago, Chile, and then in Washington D.C. the following week) I will be cutting down the frequency of Kung Fu Finance emails to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (and in all honesty, this [...]

On Friday I promised to write an article similar to Craig Ballantyne’s “The 12 Rules I Live By” (which if you haven’t read yet, I highly recommend—he’s an extremely successful and genuinely good guy). Thinking about and writing down your guiding principles or “rules to live by” is a great exercise, and I hope you’ll [...]
