Wouldn't it be great to have the financial freedom to do whatever you want? Wouldn't it be better if you could also have the time to do it? Most of us would answer a resounding yes to those questions. For many people, the goal of making money is not the accumulation of wealth for wealth's sake; instead, the goal is to have enough money to do the things we're passionate about. But very few people have a lot of money and the time to enjoy it. Michael LeBoeuf knows how to obtain both-and he wants to teach you. LeBoeuf shows that there are only four things people need to know about money: how to make it, how to save it, how to invest it, and how to enjoy it. But most people never figure out how to do all four, although almost anyone can. The key to doing so lies in applying a simple principle called LeBoeuf's Law: Invest your time actively and your money passively. Based on LeBoeuf's Law, The Millionaire in You offers ten strategic choices designed to maximize your time and money: * Live the life you want instead of the life others expect. * Stack the odds in your favor instead of against you. * Be a supersaver instead of a big spender. * Increase the market value of your time instead of working long hours. * Do less better instead of trying to do it all. * Capitalize on the unexpected instead of being derailed by it. * Own the market instead of trying to beat the market. * Limit your losses instead of letting bad luck ruin you. * Listen to those who know instead of those who sell. * Do it now instead of regretting it later. LeBoeuf is living proof that this strategy can work. He is a former business professor who retired in 1989 at the age of forty-seven and is living off of his accumulated wealth. He didn't inherit a dime, and he didn't get serious about achieving financial freedom until he was thirty-five. This book is intended to help you do what he's done before you're too old to enjoy the money you've earned or invested.
This book should be required reading in college. Our world would be a better place if people focused on their priorities in life and resisted the constant seduction of wasting money.Get it, read it, live it. You will not regret it!
One of the best books on this topic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book is concise, straight forward, easy to understand and fun to read. It includes the very basics of becoming rich as well as a lot of very good real life examples. Also, it looks at wealth not only in terms of money but also in terms of quality of life. Not only does common sense confirm the efficiency of the lessons taught but also it is reflected in the author's own life success. Some of the basic principles of success have been brought to the point in such a great way, that some of the well known self-help gurus use them in their programs quite often, I think. This books was very much worth the [money] and my time to read it. I can highly recommend it to erveryone who has interest in that topic, from the novice to the already successful professional. In my opinion, it is quite a master piece.

At a time when the public is constantly getting slammed by hyped-up claims of how to become one-minute millionaires, it's refreshing to read a wise book like this.I was a fan of Michael LeBoeuf's years ago when he wrote "The Greatest Management Principle in the World" which correctly stated that "what gets rewarded gets done." Since then a recently hyped book claims that "what is fun gets done" and we all are skeptical of that one, aren't we?In this book, LeBoeuf writes a clear, enjoyable, and fundamentally-sound financial guide to wealth and happiness. His background in management, finance, and time-management gives him the mature credibility that we all need for such important life-decisions. Here is a man who is a financial-businessman first and an author second unlike so many others today.I have a feeling that this book will not become a huge best-seller because of its somewhat understated manner. But that should not take away from its incredible long-term value and excellent writing.I think this is a 6 star book in a field where best-sellers are really 3 star books. Buy this for yourself and anyone else you really care about. (Especially those who have plenty of money and little time to enjoy it.) This book is a true financial treasure!
