And lately, people are wondering if it’s even possible to “get rich”—or at least to live well and then retire confi- dently. America faces real challenges, given our country’s burden of debt and our political infighting, not to mention the current economic situation. It’s tempting to give up, to forget that this is not the first time America has surmounted challenges and gone on to prosperity. So here’s the Savage Truth: The American Dream is not over. Achieving financial security will require a fresh start and a new approach. If you’re willing to try, or try again, you can succeed. You need only to understand the basic Truths, which have not changed despite market volatility and economic uncertainty. It’s a tribute to America that there are many roads to wealth in this country, and they are open to all. Stories of young tech- nology entrepreneurs abound, but age is no barrier. Michael Dell founded his computer company at the age of 19, and by age 34 his personal stock ownership in Dell Computer was valued at $16 billion. Ray Kroc, on the other hand, didn’t start McDonald’s until he was in his mid-fifties.
