    About this ebook

    We are transitioning from the prosperity era to the austerity era. This new era will completely wipe out the middle class.

     

    The difference between rich and poor is that the wealthy have assets that make them money, even while they sleep.

     

    For the middle class to obtain assets, such as real estate and dividend stocks, they will need to live below their means

     

    Minimalism is a way to reduce your footprint but also align your spending with your need to acquire assets. 

     

    It may be tough to shift your perspective from spender to minimalist, but it is worth the pain. We owe it to our kids to begin acquiring assets and building generational wealth. Good Luck!

      01  Minimalism is Now a Necessity

      We are moving into a new era during the 2020s. We are transitioning from the prosperity era to the austerity era.

      This new austerity era will take no prisoners. If you don’t grasp how unforgiving this new timeline is, then you risk losing it all.

      What is the austerity era? This new era represents the complete destruction of the middle class. So let’s take a quick look at what it means to be middle-class.

      Retiring to a Small City and Living on Passive Income

      Middle-class used to mean someone in your house had a decent-paying job, you owned your home (or could afford one soon), and you could afford a car and college tuition.

      You also had a pension coming your way after 20+ years of working for the same company.

      Today the middle class is defined by assets or lack thereof. If you do not own assets, you are poor.

      You are poor if you own your primary residence but it generates no income. The only way to stay middle-class is to earn passive income while you sleep.

      Why minimalism? Why now? Unfortunately, people are still living as if we are in the 1950s. They now have two parents working, paying for childcare, saving 10% toward retirement, and believing it will all end well.

      There are only two ways for it to end well: If your assets (and passive income) outpace inflation, or you can create income from your brain (content creation, business).

      Minimalism is essential to controlling lifestyle inflation, rebuffing the Joneses, and over-spending on
