Wealth Virtues [Paperback]

James Ward (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 10, 2010

If you are looking for a book that will divulge the secret to making millions of dollars in a short amount of time without working hard at it, then you have the wrong book. If you do find a book providing that information, then put it down and walk away. If that book existed, wouldn't every reader be a millionaire?Wealth Virtues by James Ward simplifies the definition of wealth as "the ability to acquire more money than you spend, and to save more than you owe." This ability comes from understanding both your behavior, and the cyclic nature of money. By applying the practice of the Thirteen Virtues of Benjamin Franklin with the Cycle of Positive Wealth, anyone can be wealthy regardless of their current income. It is simply a matter of applying the things you already know into practice. Wealth Virtues reveals the simple path to get you there.

From the Author

The word 'wealth' is almost always viewed as the ability to live like a king. In my book WEALTH VIRTUES, I redefine wealth as simply the goal of 'acquiring more money than you spend, and to save more than you owe.' The path set forth in WEALTH VIRTUES towards this goal is embodied in the Cycle of Positive Wealth, my own repeatable methodology of eliminating debt and increasing your savings. What keeps you on the path is the practice of Dr. Benjamin Franklin's Thirteen Virtues. To help you understand why these virtues matter, I provides knowledge and insight on the impact of health, creativity, non-linear thinking, and investing to allow you to achieve your goals as well as to become wealthy as defined within WEALTH VIRTUES.Whether you measure wealth in monetary terms or as a measure of the quality and meaning of your life, WEALTH VIRTUES will change the way you live if you are willing to take action to do so, with a little help from one of America's preeminent Founding Fathers.

In a sea of books by financial experts that promise vast wealth if you follow their lead, Wealth Virtues is an aptly titled exception to the norm. Its honesty and simplicity are unique, and the wisdom of Ben Franklin is unassailable. Ultimately, the book reveals the virtues not only of sound financial management, but also of sound living. Well done!

This is a wonderful book! It was well written and easy to understand. I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with financial issues, to get on the right path. I'd especially recommend it to teenagers and college students, who have no clue about money.
