King Of The Middle Class

Written by Tim Larkin, the son of a man who carved a respectable middle class livelihood for himself, King of the Middle Class: How My Old Man Made His Dream of Being Rich Actually Come True is a guide especially for middle class Americans feeling the squeeze on both ends. The poorest segment of the population has welfare, food stamps, and Medicaid for help; the wealthiest has obscene deductions and tax loopholes. What can the middle class do? Chapters cover how to change one's own precepts toward money, improve one's investment strategies, and much more. Step-by-step examples with figures illustrate the points and guidelines for positive-minded financial strategies, from harnessing the power of forced equity to ensure one's fixed mortgage payments send an increasing amount toward the principal, to the mechanics of a 1031 tax deferred exchange, to numerous other strategies. A charming and upbeat guide to wealth self-empowerment.
