Manifesto

Zenconomics is about ideas. It is about perspective. Self-actualization.

warriorThroughout the developed world there is an invisible glass ceiling above the middle-class. It keeps average people from getting ahead.

Mortgage debt… auto debt… credit card debt… student loan debt… rising costs of living… exploding health care costs… stagnant wages… dumbed down education…

It all conspires to keep the glass ceiling just overhead.

But there is a way out. Financial independence is more possible today than ever before.

You won’t shatter the glass ceiling by playing their game. To achieve financial freedom, you need a new game… a new set of rules.

And you need a new perspective.

Simply contributing to a 401(k) or buying a basket of index funds just isn’t going to cut it going forward. The Age of Paper Wealth is over.

You see, most of the conventional wisdom is dangerous when it comes to personal finance. There may be nuggets of truth in the mainstream messages. But they approach finance as if it were a static institution.

They do not explore money and monetary history. They do not analyze macroeconomic trends. They certainly don’t cover the intricacies of the capital markets with central bank interventions.

Most conventional sources still parrot the same message: Buy term and invest the difference… buy low-cost index funds and ETFs… stop buying lattes… then you can retire early.

It sounds nice. And it sells books. But it doesn’t work.

The fact is, traditional financial planning is stuck in the 80’s and 90’s. It was a time when interest rates always went down and stocks always went up.

Those days are over.

In the post-Paper Wealth era, you need a targeted investment strategy if you want to shatter the glass ceiling and achieve financial freedom. This is at the heart of Zenconomics.

Ready to take the next step?

Start by going right here.

Sincerely,

Joe Withrow
