The Millionaire Fastlane: Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime | MJ DeMarco

** NOW AN INTERNATIONAL BEST-SELLER Translated and Published Worldwide In Over 25 Languages
** HARDBACK, TENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

Has the financial plan of mediocrity and survival become your plan for wealth? That sounds something like this: "Graduate from college, get a good job, save 10% of your paycheck, buy a used car, cancel the movie channels, quit buying expensive Starbucks coffee, save and penny-pinch for decades, trust your life-savings to Wall Street, and one day, when you are oh, say, 65 years old, you can retire rich. Or, if you're a REALLLLLLY good investor and save every dime you earn, you can "retire early" while doing nothing, buying nothing, and homesteading in a trailer down by the river."

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked into believing that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. This soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma is known as the "The Slowlane" - a risky financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. Accept the Slowlane as your financial roadmap and your financial future will blow carelessly asunder on a sailboat of HOPE: HOPE you can get a job and keep it, HOPE the stock market doesn't tank, HOPE for a robust economy, HOPE, HOPE, and HOPE. Do you really want HOPE as the centerpiece for your family's financial plan?

Drive the Slowlane and you will discover your life deteriorate into a miserable exhibition about what you cannot do versus what you can. For those who refuse the lifetime subscription to mediocrity, there's an expressway to extraordinary wealth capable of burning a trail to financial freedom faster than any road out there. And shockingly, this road has nothing to do with jobs, 401(k)s, indexed-funds, or a lifestyle of miserly living in a tiny house. Just some of what you will learn:

• Why jobs, 401(k)s, indexed-funds, and 40-years of mindless frugality will never make you rich young.
• Why most entrepreneurs fail and how to immediately put the odds in your favor.
• While "FIRE" acolytes are NOT financially free of money, they're enslaved by it.
• The real law of wealth: Leverage this, and wealth has no choice but to be magnetized to you.
• The leading cause of poorness: Change this, and you change everything.
• How the rich really get rich - and no, it has nothing to do with a paycheck, living frugally, or a 401K match.
• The indisputable mathematics of wealth: how you and any "Joe Schmo" can tap into real wealth real fast.
• Why the guru's sacred deities - compound interest and indexed fund investing - are impotent wealth accelerators.
• Why popular guru platitudes like "do what you love" and "follow your passion" will most likely keep you poor, not rich.
• And 250+ more poverty-busting distinctions...

NEWSFLASH! Your mainstream financial guru who's on 500 radio stations and lives in a $10,000,000 mansion isn't rich because he religiously follows his own advice-- he's rich because he's sold it to enough fools who believe it... in other words, he's driving The Millionaire Fastlane. Demand more. Demand the truth. Change lanes and find your explosive wealth accelerator. Hit the Fastlane, crack the code to wealth, and educate yourself on living rich for a lifetime.

Review

"This is by far the best book ever written on the subject, betterthan Rich Dad Poor Dad, better than Think and Grow Rich, better than any book by Donald Trump..."

~ Amazon reader review

"Not since Think and Grow Rich have I been as impressed with abook on the subject of wealth and success. Mr. DeMarco writes from acommon, no-nonsense approach on how to become wealthy."
~ Amazon reader review

"Although the title and cover of the book make you think"infomercial for suckers", it's actually THE single best book I haveread on this subject so far (and I've read plenty). I don't typicallywrite reviews on books I purchase here on Amazon, but this one was sogood that it compelled me to actually get off my lazy butt and post up a review. "
~ Amazon reader review

"If you want to get "rich" while you're young enough to enjoy it,read this book ...it short-circuits you though a lot of the BS."
~ Amazon reader review

"I wholeheartedly recommend this book. I have read many financebooks (Rich Dad, Cramer, Dave Ramsey, etc) and after reading TheMillionaire Fastlane, I kept saying to myself "finally, someone whotells it like it is and isn't feeding me BS!"
~ Amazon reader review

"In life, there are people who get it, and people who don't getit. When it comes to building wealth, MJ DeMarco gets it. What reallymade my jaw drop about this book, however, was his brutal honesty. Heexposes many of the misconceptions of the common wealth building'gurus'..."

THE "LAMBORGHINI PROPHECY" COMPLETES

The Millionaire Fastlane is the echo of a chance encounter I had long ago when I was a pudgy teenager. It was a Fastlane ignition of consciousness, a resurrection triggered by a stranger driving a mythic car--a Lamborghini Countach. The Fastlane was born, and with it the resolution and belief that creating wealth need not take 50 years of financial mediocrity devoured by decades of work, decades of saving, decades of mindless frugality, and decades of 8% stock market returns.

Often, this book references the Lamborghini brand, and it isn't to brag when I say I've owned a few. The Lamborghini icon represents the fulfillment of a prophecy in my life. It innocently started when I saw my first Lamborghini and it kicked my ass out of my comfort zone. I confronted its young owner and asked a simple question: "How can you afford such an awesome car?"

The answer I received, unveiled in chapter 2, was short and powerful, but I wish I had more. I wish that man had taken a minute, an hour, a day, or a week to talk to me. I wish that young stranger would have mentored me on how to get what I thought the Lamborghini represented: wealth. I wish that man had reached into his car and given me a book.

Fast-forward to today.

As I endanger the streets in my Lamborghini, I relive that same moment except in role reversal. To celebrate my Fastlane success, I bought one of these legendary beasts, a Lamborghini Diablo. If you've never had the opportunity to drive a car that costs more than most people's homes, let me tell you how it works...

You can't be shy.

People chase you in traffic. They tailgate you, rubberneck, and cause accidents. Getting gas is an event: people snap photos, enraged environmentalists give you the evil eye, and haters insinuate about the length of your penis-- as if owning a Hyundai implies being well endowed.

Mostly, people ask questions.

The most frequent questions come from leering and inquisitive teenagers, as I was many years ago: "Wow, how can you afford one of these?" or "What do you do?" People associate a Lamborghini with wealth, and while I soon learned that that's more an illusion than anything (any dimwit can finance a Lamborghini), it's indicative of a dream lifestyle that most people conceive as incomprehensible.

Now when I hear the same question I asked decades ago, I have the power to gift a book and perhaps, to gift a dream.

This book is my official answer.

From the Back Cover

Escape Financial Mediocrity, Fire that 9-5 and Slash 40 Years Off The Road to Wealth!

Why prostitute your Monday through Friday for the paycheck of a weekend?  Hop aboard the expressway to extraordinary wealth and make everyday your weekend.

A chance encounter with a stranger in a Lamborghini revealed its existence: You can get rich young without 40 years of soul-sucking jobs, without 40 years of buzz-killing frugality, without 40 years of sacrificial saving, and without 40 years of 8% hope-and-pray stock market returns.

Yes, there's a Fastlane to wealth, a shortcut of blinding speed where you can live wealthy in youthful exuberance over elder entropy.  Instead, the Fastlane is cleverly hidden by a horde of hypocritical gurus and financial experts who pitch, preach, and peddle a dream-stealing dogma known as "Get Rich Slow."  Their plan to wealth begs obedience to mediocrity, devours a lifetime, and promises wealth in a wheelchair.  Escape the financial Slowlane and resurrect your dreams to reality.
