He couldn't read at 15. He retired at 25.

At school Peter Johnson failed Year 10 English and could not read a page aloud. The first book he finished, Think and Grow Rich, took him a year: one page a night with a dictionary beside him. By 25 he owned four houses, ran the largest contracting business in his industry, and had stopped working for money.

Why Are You Still A Slave? is what he learned along the way, written first for his own children.

This is not another get-rich plan. There are as many ways to build wealth as there are people, so copying someone else's method rarely works. What works is understanding the game: what money actually is, why a mortgage can leave you working for the bank, and why two people with the same capital, the same idea and the same timing end up in very different places.

Inside you will learn:

  • How money, banks and debt really work, in plain language
  • Why cash flow matters more than income, and how to invest it
  • The simple rules behind the three pillars of real wealth: Health, Investments and Happiness
  • How to live the wealthy lifestyle before you have the money
  • Why the last thing a person with money problems needs is more money
  • What to do when you are the boss and nobody tells you when you are getting it wrong

The cover says it plainly: a dollar bill holding the whip, and a family working for the house they think they own. Money is only an idea. This book shows you how to stop serving it.

Short, direct, and written from experience rather than theory.
