A Book Review – Forever Cash

learn how to make forever cashIt has been a long time since I have read a book about personal finance.  I think I got jaded as it felt like I was reading the same old information over and over again.  Every book promised a way to attain financial freedom; some even said you should only have to work a few hours a week.  Well, I recently received an email with an electronic version of Jack Bosch’s book entitled Forever Cash – Break the Earn-Spend Cycle, Take Charge of Your Life, Build Everlasting WEALTH”.  Here are some thoughts on this book:

What is “Forever Cash”?

The book is well-written.  It talks about how it is possible to find a way to make “forever cash” – which is the author’s term for making cash flow that is indefinite.  To quote Jack: “Forever Cash is cash for which you work once and get paid again and again and again … forever.”

According to Jack, “This book is not about getting rich. It is about you taking your life into your own hands and doing what needs to be done to make sure you and your family are safe. It’s time to rise!”  The book is definitely motivating and it makes you think, too.   It’s a good read if you are looking for motivation and maybe some ideas as to how to get started.

How To Become An Automatic Millionaire

The Automatic Millionaire: A Powerful One-Step Plan To Live And Finish Rich by David Bach

If you want to become a millionaire without ever having to create a budget, be disciplined or live extremely frugally, I would recommend that you read Davd Bach’s book entitled The Automatic Millionaire.  In his book, the author suggests that anyone, regardless of their income, can become a millionaire in their lifetime.

You may be wondering how this could be.  Well, Bach suggests that you set everything up automatically and then you are free to just live.  For example, set up automatic contributions into your retirement savings account and your emergency fund savings account.  Set up automatic biweekly payments into your mortgage, and so on.

Read The Laws Of Money By Suze Orman

The Laws Of Money, The Lessons Of Life: Keep What You Have and Create What You Deserve by Suze Orman

I just recently finished reading an interesting book by Suze Orman entitled The Laws of Money, The Lessons of Life.  It discusses the five laws of money that we can follow in order to be financially successful in life.

The five laws are as follows:

Law 1: Truth Creates Money, Lies Destroy It

Suze’s first law is very simple.  Don’t lie about your financial situation. Don’t buy what you cannot afford and don’t pretend that you are richer than you are.  Live within or below your means rather than allowing yourself to get into bad debt.  Don’t think that others will not like you if you don’t appear to have a lot of money.  People will like you for who you are and not for what you have.

Law 2: Look At What You Have, Not At What You Had

This second law is about living in the present and not in the past.   There is no use comparing yourself and your money to something that no longer exists.  The past has no power over you unless you give it power.  Be sure to focus on what you have now and work with that so that you can move forward and be successful.  Don’t continue to live with regrets from the past.
