In 2002, I read a book that predicted the the real estate bust in 2007 and the biggest stock market crash in the history of the world to happen circa 2016. This book was Rich Dad's Prophecy by Robert Kiyosaki. Most people did not believe me when I expressed this newfound knowledge because I was 16 when I read the book and what did I know about the business world as an inexperienced teenager? All I can say is that I sometimes seem to be ahead of the curve and my struggle has been to educate enough people who want to be educated and that seems to be where I need to be ahead of the curve this time around. 5 years after reaching Rich Dad's Prophecy, I find myself in Iraq and the news reported for weeks that the market went through the floor and tens of thousands of people lost their jobs. Now that people lost their shirts in 2007, fewer are doing anything about 2016 with the information public.

What we should be doing about this is learning how we can prepare ourselves in advance of this economic downfall. 2007-2008 was nothing compared to what is upon us. That alone should motivate the daylights out of anybody to start getting their butts in gear. At least 95% of us today are financially struggling. This means we need to change our financial habits if we want to change our financial picture. Since nature abhors a vacuum (empty space), "change" is the key word of the day. Not many people like change, but the people who do often see the immediate and long-term benefits. The best of these benefits are realized when we change from bad to good habits.
