  • Money. Wealth. Life Insurance.: How the Wealthy Use Life Insurance as a Tax-Free Personal Bank to Supercharge Their Savings

    Jake Thompson

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Jan. 1, 2014)
    America’s elite have been using cash value life insurance to stockpile wealth for centuries. Used correctly, it is better described as a personal bank on steroids, and a financial bunker for tough times. To be clear, this book is not about the typical garbage peddled by most insurance agents. Rather, an alternative to the risky investment strategies taught by Wall Street. It details a highly efficient form of cash value life insurance designed to supercharge your savings and stockpile wealth. A product so powerful it’s responsible for the success of Walt Disney, JC Penney, Ray Kroc, and thousands of others. Here's what you'll discover: •How the wealthy use this vehicle to create more wealth, take less risk, and create predictable income they can't outlive •Why banks and corporations place billions of dollars in this powerful vehicle •How I earned over 300 percent returns leveraging my life insurance policies •How you can create a safe, predictable foundation to enhance every financial decision you make •How to win with taxes and keep more of the money you make While the information compiled into this book is valuable, you'll also find three case studies that show you exactly how it works. You'll be able to visually see how it grows, how it's accessed, as well as the future income that can be taken. ______________ Influencers of this book are Nelson Nash, his book "Becoming Your Own Banker: Unlock the Infinite Banking Concept"; Pamela Yellen, her book "Bank on Yourself"; Dwayne Burnell, his book "Financial Independence in the 21st Century - Life Insurance * Utilize the Infinite Banking Concept * Compliment Your 401K - Retirement Planning With Permanent Whole Life versus Term or Universal - Create Financial Peace"; and my Father Dan Thompson, and his book "The Banking Effect: Acquiring wealth through your own Private Banking System." I was introduced to these financial strategies at a young age, and this is book represents the effort and energy on both the part of everyone of my mentors, these authors here, as well as my own diligence in learning about and implementing these very same strategies into my personal finances. This book is designed to simplify some of the concepts surrounding cash value life insurance, such as Infinite Banking and Bank on Yourself, and make them easier to understand, stripping them down to the core benefits of cash value life insurance.

  • Mage Fade

    C.J. Thompson

    language (, Feb. 1, 2016)
    Mage Fade - A Short StoryIn the beginning, Mage's were something we just heard about. Nothing more than an interesting story. Never in our lives did we expect one to capture us. See, after the war, we were forced to live in the Greylands. It was the place that all of the elves ran to for safety. Cold and harsh, life wasn't easy as we managed to survive hiding in holes.As brothers, we had each other, but that was about it. Life wasn't ideal, but at least we were together. Of course, whether you know it or not, time is always ticking as you head towards your destiny. It was that one moment that changed everything. If the Mage didn't find us, it would have been different. It had to be.

    Almost two decades after the human race fell to the might and fury of the ancient dragons, the last of humanity is gathered together in Nottinghill Castle. Barely a thousand souls have survived in that time and they face constant threats from the evil forces of the Chaos lords. But thanks to their mages, their warriors, and the indomitable human spirit, they have managed to cling to life. So far.But things are now changing on the New Earth. The dwarves, long isolated in their empire deep beneath the surface, have been attacked by the goblin hordes and this has roused the dwarven people's fury. They have finally realized that, even in their secluded cities hundreds of miles below the ground, they are not safe.And now, a new player has returned to the world. The elves have been driven from their home of Trillfarness, a planet given to them in ancient times by the lords of Light. Evil has destroyed that sanctuary and only a handful of survivors have managed to return to the world where they were first created. Shattered but not broken, the elves are weak and vulnerable and in need of allies. But who can they turn to in their darkest hour?Old suspicions linger between the elves and the dwarves. Once rivals, neither race trusts the other and many dwarves would rather stand alone. Will they be able to work out their differences in time to save the world and themselves? The human race may be the key.If they can bring both sides together and forge an alliance between all three of the mortal races, perhaps they can finally take the fight to the forces of Darkness and take back their world. If not, then the New Earth may finally fall to evil.

  • The Book of Onions: Comics to Make You Cry Laughing and Cry Crying

    Jake Thompson

    Paperback (Andrews McMeel Publishing, Oct. 9, 2018)
    The Book of Onions is a collection of darkly funny comics from Jake Thompson, creator of the celebrated bi-weekly webcomic "Jake Likes Onions."Ranging from the relatable to the utterly nonsensical and bizarre, The Book of Onions focuses on themes of loneliness, desperation, and failure. And misplaced optimism. And perverted talking fruit. Sort of like Gary Larson’s “The Far Side,” if Gary were way less accomplished and suffered from depression.

    Murder is never simple.When the young husband of a wealthy California heiress is found dead on his yacht, Raja Williams and his partner head to Los Angeles. Their investigation leads to the ruthless Chinese mafia, a depraved human trafficking ring and a cover-up that may go as high as the governor's mansion.As more bodies pile up, Raja and Vinny find themselves targeted by a powerful enemy with much to hide, and must race to uncover the truth before everyone involved, including the two of them, ends up dead.Brilliant. Fearless. Unstoppable. Raja Williams is a private detective who is relentless in his pursuit of justice.

His sixth sense for evil gives him headaches and steers him straight into trouble. Readers have described him as "a cross between Dirk Pitt and Alex Cross."Raja's partner, Vinny Moore, is a gorgeous hipster geek who prefers hacking computers to haute couture. Vinny once worked for the U.S. government until she purposely made herself more trouble than they could handle so they would cut her loose. She loves to push Raja's buttons with the hipster lingo she is constantly picking up on the internet. Despite her teasing, Vinny is Raja's best friend.WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:"Best detective since Sherlock Holmes!""I love Raja Williams.

I'm so happy to have found another author, and character series, to add to my list of must read authors!""I really couldn't put this one down, and read it straight through from start to finish. I see a film in the future."If you like action-packed, fast-paced stories with unexpected twists and turns, humor and a touch of romance, then you'll love the Raja Williams series.The Color of Greed is the first book in the ten-volume Raja William mystery thriller series.
