The Millionaire Fastlane

by M.J. DeMarco

Slowlane wealth is improbable due to Uncontrollable Limited Leverage (ULL). ✓- The first variable in the Slowlane wealth equation stems from a job that factors to intrinsic value which is your nominal value for each unit of your life traded. ✓- Intrinsic value is the value of your time set by the marketplace and is measured in units of time, either hourly or yearly. ✓- In the Slowlane, intrinsic value (regardless of its time measurement) is numerically inhibited because there are only 24 hours in the day (for the hourly worker), and the average lifespan is 74 years (for the salaried worker). ✓- Like the Slowlaner’s primary income source (a job), the Slowlaner’s wealth acceleration vehicle (compound interest) is also pegged to time. ✓- Like a job, compound interest is mathematically futile and cannot be manipulated. You cannot force-feed the market (or the economy) to give you phenomenal returns, year after year. ✓- Wealth cannot be accelerated when pegged to mathematics based on time. ✓- Time is your primordial fuel and it should not be traded for money. ✓- Your time should not be an expendable resource for wealth because wealth itself is composed of time. ✓- Your mortality makes time mathematically retarded for wealth creation. ✓- If you don’t control the variables inherent in your wealth universe, you don’t control your financial plan.
