C'mon. How bad was his life if his best friend made $450 Million in the internet bubble? He cheated his way to the Kick-boxing championship? Made his fortune selling vitamins? Sounds shady.<BR/><BR/>Then there's the whole "Live for the moment" philosophy. No Mortgage? No medical insurance? No retirement savings? Excuse me, he does mention he maxes out his IRA for "The tax benefits." Yeah. Makes sense to tie up $15,000 a yea r to save the $5,000 tax bill.<BR/><BR/>The actual meat of the book is "Get someone else to do it" and the resources he provides are readily available to anyone.<BR/><BR/>I just don't believe the hype.Louhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01529978221101175784noreply@blogger.com
