without fiscal constraints, the type of lifestyle a million bucks no longer buys. In other words, you can dine out four times a week. - M.J. DeMarco

a sociological scheme sentencing your life to an existence of blind obedience, resigned mediocrity, and abandoned dreams.

A Slowlane guru preaches that a $10,000 investment grown at 15% will be worth over $2.5 million dollars in 40 years!!! Hooray!!! What don’t they tell you? They don’t tell you that a 15% return year-after-year is impossible unless you invest with Bernie Madoff or Charles Ponzi. They don’t tell you that in 40 years you’ll be dead, and if you’re not, you’ll be close. They don’t tell you that in 40 years, your $2.5 million will likely be worth $250,000 in today’s dollars and that a pack of gum will cost $6.00. They don’t tell you that this method of wealth acceleration is NOT what they use. They don’t tell you plenty, and yet you’re supposed to believe it without question.

Value your time poorly and you will be poor. When time is wasted as a lifestyle choice you will be stranded in places you don't want to be.
Take a look around. How do your friends, family, and peers value their time? Are they standing in line to save four bucks? Are they driving 40 minutes to save 10 dollars? Are they parked on the sofa anxiously waiting to see who wins Dancing With the Stars?
