"If America is the richest nation in the world, why am I so broke?" Every year, you've promised yourself, "This is the year I'm going to get ahead." So, why are you still broke? We live in the wealthiest nation on the planet, yet 69 percent of us have less than $1,000 in savings. This puts most in the dire position of being just one paycheck from financial disaster and destruction. If you sense a conspiracy at work, you'll be shocked to realize how right you actually are. Once you have the right information you will be able to break the chains. The tools, strategies, and tactics shared in this audiobook don't take a financial genius to use - anyone can do it! In this one-of-a-kind audiobook, best-selling author and simple-living expert Gary Collins lays out easy-to-understand, honest, mind-blowing research. It reveals the eye-popping reasons most Americans will never live to see financial independence in their lifetimes. Yet, we all have the potential to become secure and stress-free. We just don't know it yet. Listen to this book and see for yourself. By the time you're done, you won't be able to look at money, or your life, the same way again.

Take a deep breath and then let it out. Did you feel your chest rise and fall? That is actually your lungs filling with oxygen and then pushing carbon dioxide back out when you exhale.
