Wealth
Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The average life span increased from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries). The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. Of all work in 1850, 80% no longer exists. Think of electricity, railways, automobiles, aircraft, satellites, radio, telephones, cell (mobile) phones, TV, computers, the Internet and nuclear power. Today, each farmer in the USA feeds 300 people whereas 200 years ago 4 out of 5 Americans worked in agriculture. In 1900 farm workers were still 40% of the work force; while in 2016 they were less than 2%. Bill Gates and Paul Allen started the Microsoft Corporation in 1975 thereby creating three billionaires and about 12,000 millionaires among Microsoft employees. $1000 worth of Microsoft (MSFT) shares in 1986 were worth $2,800,000 in 2025. In 2016, shares of Nvidia (NVDA) were $1.32 adjusted for stock splits. In 2025 one share could be sold for $170. A $1000 investment in 2016 would have returned about $129,000 in 2025. Okay, so how do you start GETTING RICH? It is very simple. Few of us have the talent or tenacity to start a new business, but now it is easy to buy publicly traded shares of businesses that grow steadily and create wealth in the process. You might as well buy a small share and watch it grow. Get rich slowly by investing a regular amount of your income in a diverse range of companies and re-investing all interest, dividends and capital gains and holding for many years. You will first need to choose an on-line stock broker and set up an account. They all operate much like banks as they are legally required to know their clients and must report to government tax collectors on any income to your account.
Count the Cost: Merging Financial & Biblical Terminology
"Count the Cost: Merging Financial & Biblical Terminology" is designed as a comprehensive guide for professionals in the financial sector who wish to deepen their understanding of biblical principles, as well as for individuals immersed in biblical teachings looking to navigate the complexities of the stock market. The book serves as a bridge between two seemingly disparate worlds, illustrating how timeless biblical lessons can illuminate modern financial practices. Through engaging insights and practical applications, readers will discover that the wisdom found in scripture is not only spiritually enriching but also highly relevant to contemporary financial decision-making. Each chapter thoughtfully pairs a financial theme with a corresponding biblical principle, demonstrating that despite the changing nature of economic landscapes, foundational truths remain constant.

With practical advice, real-world examples, and reflective questions, "First, Count the Cost" empowers readers to approach financial decisions with a new lens-one that values the moral and ethical implications of their choices while also emphasizing the importance of strategic planning and investment. Whether you are a financial professional seeking guidance from scripture or a faith-based individual aspiring to understand financial markets, this book equips you with the tools to make prudent choices that honor both your financial and spiritual commitments. Through this innovative merging of wisdom from both worlds, readers will gain a holistic understanding that benefits their financial health and spiritual growth.Complete
The Cardboard Investment
Do you have sports cards sitting in your closet from when you were a kid? Most people have had some experience with sports trading cards of one way or another. Millions of people collect these delicate pieces of cardboard, while others find this pastime child's play. For some, this passion never went away, others lost interest and forgot about their collections. This niche hobby has continued to flourish in the shadows and slowly become a money juggernaut for some. Another form of gambling at its essence, the carefully calculated odds attract people from all walks of life to join the hunt for the next big thing. This is part historical, part autobiographical, and contains many of my own opinions. Feel free to let me know what you think. These are very rough chapters, and I will be updating them from time to time.Complete
