Produktbeschreibung

From an Amazon #1 Best-Selling Author in Personal Finance comes a powerful, story-driven guide to understanding money and building lasting wealth. Billionaire Cab Driver shares the timeless financial lessons of Akamai Kane-a billionaire who chooses a simpler life, retiring to drive a cab around the island he loves. Through his story, readers discover the mindset, methods, and practical strategies that turn ordinary earners into long-term wealth builders. Most people leave school never learning how money actually works. That missing education quietly limits their options, confidence, and future. In this engaging financial parable, author and educator Jody Tallal distills decades of real-world experience advising high-income professionals into clear principles anyone can apply. Inspired by true financial victories and client stories, Billionaire Cab Driver reveals how Akamai Kane built a $20 billion net worth long before he ever stepped into a cab-and how those exact principles can help readers avoid costly mistakes, grow wisely, and make money serve their lives rather than control them. Blending storytelling with practical guidance, Tallal explains how to grow wealth, limit risk, understand the "end game" most people overlook, and use time and compound interest as your greatest allies. He demonstrates that financial independence is not mysterious-it's methodical. This Second Edition-Fully Updated for 2025 includes revised charts, modernized examples, and new reflections drawn from a lifetime of financial planning, making these timeless lessons more relevant than ever. Inside, you'll learn: ¿ Why a high income doesn't guarantee long-term wealth ¿ How to profit from justified debt ("other people's money") ¿ Why most investment mistakes happen at the time of purchase-not sale ¿ How the Rule of 72 shows when your money will double ¿ Why relying solely on brokers can derail your goals ¿ How to align money with happiness instead of stress ¿ How time and compounding become the ultimate wealth builders Told as an inspiring narrative, Billionaire Cab Driver transforms complex financial concepts into simple, actionable insights. Whether you're starting your career, rebuilding your finances, or refining your retirement strategy, this book provides a clear roadmap to financial confidence and lifelong independence.
