How the Book Began
During the dead of winter and the height of the pandemic in 2020, Ian had a discussion with his family over the phone. He came away so upset with the conversation (We've all been there...) that he decided to write down a list of his gripes so as to deal with the stresses he encountered with his family. Over the next few weeks, daily journaling became something he looked forward to everyday, and eventually, his writing took the form of a fictional story.
The Topics
The book focuses on a few topics, but the main premise is this: everybody only needs to understand compound interest and know how to use 3 equations in order to be wealthy. That's it! The book applies all of these in real life scenarios such as rent, mortgages and car loans, with Dwayne and Gabrielle discussing each in detail. Dwayne learns a lot and is able to make smarter, more beneficial financial decisions as a result of the lessons his sister teaches him, and SO CAN YOU!
