No one has to be poor.  I'm not saying there aren't poor people; people live in poverty because they don't know any other way.  I wrote "Financial Freedom - The S.I.M.P.L.E. Way" for my daughter; to show her how simple it is to become wealthy and retire comfortably by following just six simple Biblical principles.  God's way works.  It worked for me and I'm sure it will work for anyone who applies the principles.  Of course I would be remiss if I didn't first say, "Until you know God is real...nothing else matters."
