In 1970, you could live on $150,000 a year. Today, if someone puts $1 million in the bank, they might receive $5,000 a year in interest. If that family attempts to live on $5,000 a year, they are technically below the poverty line, although—technically—“millionaires.” And yet financial experts continue to say, “Save money.” Why would anyone save money when banks and governments are printing money? But wait, it gets worse. Financial advisors recommend people “invest for the long term.” Yet after 2007, HFT, high frequency trading, began dominating the market. While Mom and Pop are “investing for the long term,” HFT traders are trading in milliseconds and microseconds. So who made the most money after China devalued their currency and global stock markets crashed? I’ll give you a hint: it was not the mom-and- pop long-term investors. People investing for the long term in the stock market are like savers—the next big losers. In 2002, Rich Dad’s Prophecy was published. Prophecy predicted that the biggest stock market crash in history was coming within the next 20 years. Prophecy also predicted an initial major market correction would arrive prior to the final giant crash. That initial correction arrived in October 2007, when the Dow headed south and the subprime crisis took Lehman Brothers and others down. My point is that this collapse was predictable to those who were paying attention. In my 60-minute video titled The Man Who Could See The Future, offered for free from The Rich Dad Company, you can see footage of me on national television prior to October, warning people of the coming crash and downfall of Lehman Brothers. My prediction of an even larger market crash—one that will result in tremendous wealth destruction for many—still stands. Again, those paying attention are seeing signs of instability everywhere. vii by Robert Kiyosaki But this time, the threat is not just economic. Critical systems and global resources we depend on for our modern way of life are starting to fail. There will be few places to take shelter from this coming storm. Following bad advice at a time like this is not just risky. It’s dangerous. The Value of Good Advice We all need to prepare for what’s coming, and there’s little time left. That is why I am endorsing Prosper! I know Chris and Adam well—these guys have more than a crystal ball. They have an actionable framework for building true wealth (it’s about more than simply money) and combine it with sound advice for how to face the tremendous challenges that lie dead ahead. They lay out specific steps that will not only make you much less vulnerable to the coming disruption, but position you to prosper greatly when it arrives. I’ve already put many of these steps into practice in my own life. I loved Chris’s first book,The Crash Course, and I love Prosper! Those who are well positioned when crisis hits make fortunes overnight. Unfortunately, those following bad advice (like that offered by most financial advisors today) are wiped out. I want you to prosper in the years ahead. The coming crash may be your biggest opportunity to do so if you prepare wisely in advance. And that’s why I encourage you to read Prosper! today, not tomorrow. – Robert Kiyosaki viii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS reating a book requires a substantial sacrifice of time and energy fromC many other people than just its authors. This book is no exception. While the list of those who helped make this book possible is long, several people deserve special recognition: Garrett Sutton and Mona Gambetta for their championship and tireless efforts in mobilizing the team at RDA Press to publish this work under an ambitiously tight time schedule. Ken Harp, Susan Kammerzell, Jason Wiskerchen, and Becca Martenson for their service as chapter reviewers and their excellent feedback, which were invaluable additions to the authors’ best efforts. Ron and Peg Stewart for generously providing the remote cabin retreat where the planning and concept work for this book was carried out. Maryann Taggart for designing the visuals that appear throughout the chapters. Kenny McElroy, because many of the ideas in here were jarred loose that day on the back trails of Sedona, along with a few molars. The thousands of participants in our Peak Prosperity seminars, but especially the few hundreds that have attended the intimate gatherings at the Rowe Conference Center, who helped us shape and refine the material in this book over the years. The millions of wonderful, dedicated visitors to the PeakProsperity.com website for inspiring and encouraging us to share this message of resilience ix Acknowledgments more widely and who were patient with us as we hunkered down to write this book. Finally, and most importantly: our wives and children for their tolerance and support during the long months we were absorbed with writing, being generally negligent as husbands and fathers. For Chris, that’s Becca, Erica, Simon, and Grace. For Adam, it’s Ashley, Merritt, and Charlotte. To us, you are the most valuable form of capital. With great gratitude, Chris & Adam x INTRODUCTION The world is

Concordia Ave. Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53212 414-431-0888 VictoryGardenInitiative.org Dear Garden Mentor, Thank you for volunteering to help show others the joys of gardening! Your time and advice will change the food system for a person, a family, and a community. The Garden Mentor Program has two goals. First, to help new gardeners experience success in their first season. We believe that early success makes new gardeners more likely to continue growing food in years to come. Second, we want Garden Mentors to build community around growing food. By getting to know our neighbors, we build a resilient network of homesteaders and gardeners who can help each other and encourage others to grow their own food. Relationship building is at the core of this program. It is important to learn about your gardener and their goals first. The advice you provide should be based on the individual needs of the gardener(s) you are paired with. Some gardeners may be interested in topics not covered here. Therefore, this packet should be used as a guide rather than a road map. In the past our program had required you to meet with your gardener five times over the course of the growing season, but we understand that people are busy and cannot necessarily commit to this requirement and most people do not seek this much assistance. That is why we have changed the structure of the program to be more relaxed to accommodate each new gardener at their (and your) own convenience.

  • Organic Food Gardening: a Guide to Green City Living

    Organic Food Gardening: a Guide to Green City Living

    ORGANIC FOOD GARDENING A Guide to Green City Living Organic gardening works with nature to grow plants without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Instead, organic gardeners feed the soil with organic matter, and use techniques such as crop rotation and plant selection to promote healthy growth. Using an organic approach maintains healthy soil, water and air naturally, providing a healthy environment for plants, animals and people. Planning the Garden No matter how big or small your space, start with a garden visioning session to get the creative juices flowing. This step is about brainstorming possibilities, and then matching them up with the realities of your garden space, local growing conditions, and your own time constraints. A Note on Design Design your beds to maximize the number of plants you can grow. A wide, raised bed can hold significantly more plants than a long and narrow bed. For example, a 1 x 4 foot bed may hold a single row of beets, while a bed measuring 2 x 2 feet has room for several shorter rows and will allow for staggered positioning. Although both beds take four square feet of garden space, the wide-bed design holds three times as many plants. Building the Soil: Start from the Ground Up Great organic gardens start with great soil that can retain essential nutrients and water. Soil testing kits are readily available at hardware stores and garden centres, and don’t require any specialized skills. Don’t panic if your soil’s pH varies from the optimal range, or if the texture is unbalanced.
  • Ouida Bergère

    Ouida Bergère

    Ouida Bergère Also Known As: Eulalia Bergère, Ida Bergère, Mrs. George Fitzmaurice, Mrs. Basil Rathbone Lived: December 14, 1885 - November 29, 1974 Worked as: adapter, film actress, scenario editor, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Laura Jacquelyn Simmons Ouida Bergère was perhaps best known in the film industry as Mrs. Basil Rathbone and party hostess extraordinaire. However, before her marriage, to Rathbone, Bergère was a prominent and top paid scenario writer. Bergère was born in Spain, but moved to the US at the age of six. Her father was French-Spanish and her mother, British (Lowrey 1920, 22). There is some conflicting information regarding her birth name; most sources claim she was born Ida Bergère, others Eulalia Bergère. Regardless, upon entering the film industry, she changed her name to Ouida. Bergère began her film career by serving as scenario editor and actress for Pathé Freres, eventually writing her own scripts and branching out to other companies, including Vitagraph and Famous Players-Lasky, according to the New York Dramatic Mirror in 1915 (24). Much of Bergère’s screenwriting career coincides with the career of her second husband, George Fitzmaurice, to whom she was married before Rathbone. She met Fitzmaurice after she started her screenwriting career, and after their marriage, he directed almost all of the films she wrote. As is the case with the many Hollywood marriages, Bergère’s relationship to Fitzmaurice must be considered when discussing her career, and, typically, because her career was so closely linked to that of Fitzmaurice, there is confusion about their credits. She very well might have had her hand in directing some of the films that have been credited to him, as was the case with other couples such as actress Alice Terry and director Rex Ingram.
