  • Expenses expand to equal our income
  • Willie Sutton’s law- Wherever wealth is accumulated, someone will try to steal it
  • The IRS takes your money to give to the Treasury to pay to the Federal Reserve for all the money they’re borrowing

Key Takeaways:

  • If you can overcome Parkinson’s Law, you will win by default, and you don’t need to do it alone
  • What we consider “necessities” change as we have more resources available
  • “Do it yourself” retirement plans don’t work
  • You can’t abolish your student loan debt in bankruptcy
