Great advice in this latest section on finding financial advisors.
I'm starting to get concerned with Tony's end game, though. It's apparent that he leans a bit heavy on the liberal spectrum, throwing some premature shade at Trump and using John Oliver (gag) as a source on 401k research. He heavily advertises for a couple companies he has ties to. They may be great, but he has skin in the game.

Nothing exciting so far, just Tony laying out the idea that this book will help you build systems that will get you on your way to having financial security. He says it'll only require 1-2 hours per YEAR to maintain it and keep things moving. It's not a get rich quick scheme- you have to be in it for the long haul.

The big concept so far is having systems instead of goals. Actually makes a ton of sense when you think about the mental aspect of it and remaining motivated. This is already a much more insightful book than I'd imagined.

This last chapter is particularly interesting. It's getting into how people are manipulated by salesmen and politicians. Considering the author has historically consulted for the Clintons, it's really fascinating to see the inner workings of the tactics used by the Clintons/DNC that perfectly match up to so much of the media manipulation that has gone on in this election cycle. Really eye opening.

Feels like I never make time to read lately, but going to work on that
