There is no denying that governments thrive on testing their limits through the usurpation of power. The US government is no different as evident by its current formation, its total disregard of constitutional limits, and its collusion with the Federal Reserve. Your freedoms are incrementally being seized. There seems to be only two ways to protect yourself: take control of your wealth or reform government. Since you have little influence over the latter, you must learn to take control of your wealth. There is freedom in financial independence.

Jeff Nabers and Phoebe Chongchua come together to show you the means to financial liberation. In their book, "5 STEPS TO FREEDOM: How to Cut Your Dependence on Institutions and Escape Financial Slavery", they set out to prove that the customary methods of saving and investing are nothing of the sort. They show you how to take control of your money, revealing the incapacities and detriments of simply stashing your cash or participating in the stock market. We have lost our sense of differentiating between prices and value. We are too often concerned with the nominal value of our holdings and fail to see what they’re really worth. "5 STEPS TO FREEDOM" teaches you how to see true value. I particularly love the way the authors pose the commonly used phrase, “numbers don’t lie”, and then follow with, “yes they do!”
