〃And what are the results?〃 I asked。

〃Well; he got lucky early in his trading; but lost all he gained a few days later。

 Then; he really got interested。

 Today; I would say he is down 2;000; but his interest is up。

 He has read all the books I bought him and hes gone to the library to get more。

 He reads the Wall Street Journal voraciously; watching for indicators; and he watches CNBC instead of MTV。

 Hes got only 1;000 left; but his interest and learning are sky high。

 He knows that if he loses that money; he walks for two more years。

 But he does not seem to care。

 He even seems uninterested in getting a car because hes found a game that is more fun。

〃What happens if he loses all the money?〃 I asked。

〃Well cross that bridge when we get to it。

 Id rather have him lose everything now rather than wait till hes our age to risk losing everything。

 And besides; that is the best 3;000 Ive ever spent on his education。

 What he is learning will serve him for life; and he seems to have gained a new respect for the power of money。

 I think hes stopped the burning of holes in his pockets。

As I said in the section 〃Pay Yourself First;〃 if a person cannot master the power of self…discipline; it is best not to try to get rich。

 For while the process of developing cash flow from an asset column in theory is easy; it is the mental fortitude of directing money that is hard。

 Due to external temptations; it is much easier in todays consumer world to simply blow it out the expense column。

 Because of weak mental fortitude; that money flows into the paths of least resistance。

 That is the cause of poverty and financial struggle。

I gave this numerical example of financial intelligence; in this case the ability to direct money to make more money。

If we gave 100 people 10;000 at the start of the year; I gave my opinion that at the end of the year:

80 would have nothing left。

 In fact; many would have created I greater debt by making a down payment on a new car; refrigerator; TV; VCR or a holiday。

 16 would have increased that 10;000 by 5 percent to 10 percent。

 4 would have increased it to 20;000 or into the millions。

We go to school to learn a profession so we can work for money。

 It is my opinion that it is also important to learn how to have money work for you。

I love my luxuries as much as anyone else。

 The difference is; some people buy their luxuries on credit。

 Its the keep…up…with…the…Joneses trap。

 When I wanted to buy a Porsche; the easy road would have been to call my banker and get a loan。
