                                                   This book is not a political book. It will not blame Republicans
                                                or Democrats, Liberals or Conservatives. This book is about
                                                money, financial education and the effects of a lack of financial
                                               education and money management. It is about protecting yourself
                                               from national money mismanagement. Today's problems are
                                                bigger than our government can handle. That may be why our
                                               politicians avoid discussing the real problems.
                                                   The United States has the highest standard of living in the
                                               world. We have attained that high standard of living by becoming
                                               the greatest debtor nation in the world. The U.5. dollar is also the
                                               world's reserve currency and so far, the world has allowed us to
                                               print as many dollars as we want. Is this a fairy tale scenario or a
                                               nightmare? Donald and Robert do not think this fantasy can last
                                               much longer. They expect a global correction on a massive scale.
                                               Unfortunately, the poor and middle class will be hurt the most.
                                               And this is why they want you to be rich.

                                               This Book Is Not About Changing The World

                                                   This book is not about changing the world. This book is about
                                               changing you so that you do not become a victim of a changing
                                               world. The world is changing rapidly. Politicians and government
                                               bureaucracy cannot change fast enough or protect everyone from
                                               these shifts.
                                                   It was recently announced that Bill Gates and Warren Buffett
                                               have joined forces to solve some of the world's most pressing
                                               problems. This is commendable as money does have the power to
                                               solve many of our world problems, such as hunger, affordable
                                               housing, and hopefully many diseases(such as cancer and AIDS).

                                               Money Cannot Solve Poverty

                                                   The one problem money cannot solve is poverty. While there
                                               are many underlying causes of poverty, one of the causes is a lack
                                               of financial education. The problem with throwing money at the
