5.0 out of 5 stars Building Wealth Using the Tin Can Method, February 9, 2002

This review is from: Building Wealth Using The Tin Can Method: Discover How You Can Amass a Fortune by Saving (Finances, Christian Living) (Hardcover)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book by Margarette Perkins. It was very informative and prophetic.

In lieu of the economic climate of today, like the Enron downsizing, unethical mergers, people losing their 401K plans, pension plans going bust, and social security being tapped into by the federal government, this book was written way ahead of its time in the sense that these things are happening now. Not a day go by that you don't hear about corporate corruption with regard to employees' savings and investment plans.

One chapter that was very phophetic to me was Chapter 7 which is titled, "Reasons Not to Trust Man." From what I can see, this book was published in 1998, but look at what is going on with a company such as ENRON. And, this is 2002.

The author warned of these kinds of events years ago. As stated by Ms. Perkins, today we can no longer put our trust in the system. Our trust must be put in God and in ourselves to plan for our own financial future.

A definite must read for any individual seeking direction for their life regarding their finances!!!
