About this listen
Do you want to learn to build wealth and create a future, where your dreams don’t have to wait? Just keep reading.
Schools require kids to take courses in Biology, Science, and English, yet lack basic instruction on personal finances. Secure the Bag was initially developed by the author to share basic personal finance concepts with his two teenage daughters. As it developed, the author realized that most of these topics were not covered at school. What he discovered is that many books on the subject are more conceptual and written in language that does not appeal to younger audiences.
This book was developed as a quick, easy-to-digest listen, focusing on the importance of acquiring good financial habits early in life, and how to get started on the path to financial freedom from a younger age. These concepts were learned by the author the hard way through managing his own finances and making many mistakes with his own money. The book is written with a bit of an irreverent language and a touch of dad humor to spark thought and create a lasting impression. A survey conducted by Wakefield Research shows most teens believe by the time they are 30 years old, they will be financially independent of their parents.
The reality is very different. Optimism is great, but an optimist without a plan is a fool
Most teens are interested in understanding how to start building wealth today, but think they are too young to start saving and investing. In this book you will discover:
1. Basic concepts of personal finances
2. Why your young age is in fact your biggest advantage
3.The right mindset to start earning, saving, and investing
4.The importance of credit score and the hack to build a rock-solid one from a young age
5. Practical steps you can take today to get stared in your journey to financial freedom
Even if you are a broke teenager today, you can retire comfortably at a young age, if you acquire the right knowledge and have the discipline to put it in practice.

Story
We are seeing more women in the workforce than ever before, but despite reaching high-paying successful positions, women struggle with growing their wealth and maintaining finances. Most of the time, this struggle stems not from the inability to monitor and budget the money; rather, it originates from the lack of education and recourses that are available for young women or women in general. For some, financial education might be Everest, but even the most dangerous mountains can be conquered with the right information, patience, and resilience.

Story
Investing in your future is easier than you think—discover how and achieve financial security more quickly than you can possibly imagine. Young adults are especially financially vulnerable because they’re just starting out, want a lot of “stuff,” and are not earning the big bucks yet. So, they’re borrowing too much and saving too little (if at all), and they’re in a financial mess. But it doesn’t have to be like that. Instead, imagine a life where you have peace of mind, because your financial affairs are in order, and you’re on the right path to building wealth.

How to make enough passive income from your properties to retire in 10 years, even if you have zero investments today. Do you want to shorten your years working a nine-to-five job and increase the years you’ll spend doing what you love, while you can still do it? Traditional wisdom advises us to keep toiling, scrimping, and saving until we finally reach the retirement age of 60, after which we can live off what we’ve saved and hope we die before it runs out.
