Antiquated Advice:
A very large percentage of the entire population (probably not quite 95%) have no idea that the advice they are following is not conducive to success, at least, not in our day and age.
We are still following advice that worked in the 1940s and 1950s and suited very well for those times. However it no longer does.
The reason for all this foreword about consumer mentality is because this is the mindset most people naturally take on. Media is perhaps the most responsible for its encouragement. Media, big business and government would like folks to retain this mentality because it does a few things in their favor...
What's In This for Me?
Education. The more you know about this nullifies the above...

- Keeps the masses under control.
- Keeps most people in ignorance. (Definitely not saying "stupid" here!)
- Keeps people thinking in terms of money (esp. currency) rather than assets.
- etc.
What's In This for Me?
Education. The more you know about this nullifies the above...
- YOU assume more control for your own life.
- YOU are more informed about what goes on above and beyond consumerism.
- YOU learn more about the real issues around economy and YOU steer clear of the pitfalls.

I own a home improvent compay for 40+years. Some people in this business barely survive because their selling skills are horrible and some make over 50, 000 dollars per month.
I see the answer as very simple. Learn the skills here at WA--learn to sell (I don't care what any one says -to make big money you have to know how to sell) Don't be lazy go to work and learn your trade. Make a boat load of money and once the money starts coming in --do it again and again.
I know for a fact from my clients say that Kiosaki's realstate education doesn't work as it is sold in his books. "YOU NEED MONEY TO MAKE IT WORK" I service clients who own hundreds of homes and apartments and they laugh at the advice given.
Put all your efforts here make a ton of money and the rest will fall into place.
IT'S ABOUT REASONS AND RESULTS AND THE FIRTS ONE DOESN'T COUNT"
STAY FOCUSED!

The system wouldn't let me comment directly on your comment.
I am involved with The Palm Beach Letter's Wealth Builder's Club and they have a program about infinite banking which was written about by R Nelson Nash. His book "Becoming Your Own Banker" is a great read on this. I've also read "Financial Independence in the 21st Century" by Dwayne and Suzanne Burnell.
It's based on Whole Life Insurance. I know, I know, Life Insurance?? That is why it is so amazing. You set up the policy to minimize the death benefit and maximize the savings benefit. As your money builds you loan it to yourself and pay yourself interest. Soon you have enough to invest in income properties, new businesses, or other things to build the account even higher. When you get to retirement you can continue to borrow from the policy to fund your life tax-free (it is a loan and the government doesn't yet tax loans). It's a total win-win way to live.
And it is a way to create generational wealth since you can set up accounts on your children, pass ownership to them when you are older, and teach them how to do it also so they can pass it to their children. Also you can set up policies on your grandchildren as soon as you have some.
I'm just getting things set up but this is one of the things I plan to write about.

Hi Daniel,
This was a long read but way too true. There is really only one thing I can add and that is to become your own banker. If you borrow money from yourself then you pay the interest to yourself. However you need to pay yourself the same rate you get from traditional banks. It takes awhile to set up but it is worth it. It's something that I am working on now.
