Author Jonathan Hoenig wrote this book at age 23. It is a straightforward account of how to increase your wealth and uses examples from pop culture to illustrate his points. I picked this book up back in 1999 and loved it. I started adapting many of Hoenig’s principles and they have really been helpful throughout the years. Hoenig has a website called Capitalist Pig.com. The site also has an e-mail newsletter and Hoenig is now a Managing Member of a private investment partnership. I first saw him on some show on MTV, and since that time he has gone on to bigger and better things. This book, if you buy and read it has the no-nonsense approach to financial security and becoming an investor.

There is another puzzle out there from my friends at PayPerPost. So much is happening with them right now. PayPerPost released a press release today. The terms of service have been changed to require Posties to disclose that they are writing sponsored posts. I have tried to make it very transparent that I am posting blog messages for money. I just surpassed $1,000 in blogging money too. So now in addition to the posts being in green they will also have information at the end of the post clearly stating that the post is sponsored and that I am being paid to post the blog post. There is also a link to the PayPerPost referral system. So, if you click it you can join PayPerPost and I’ll get a $15.00 referral fee. So thank you for that.
Today’s photo is of my Mickey tie. I wore it today because the latest contest is a new puzzle. It gives clues as to what Episode 4 of RockStartup is all about.
Tonight I went to my gym for a personal assessment. It is really sad when you find out that you have shrunk. I am shrinking. I need to improve my posture because I lost a whole inch. I am now 5’8″. The assessment went well. And then came the upsell. But the thing is they weren’t high pressure about it at all. The prices were outrageous for training sessions and a nutrition plan but they didn’t try and force it on me. So I liked that. I left with a good feeling and a Berry Berry smoothie. So it is hitting the gym hard sometime soon. Most likely after the holidays. I mean it, I really do.
