Publisher Description
An easy-to-read guide to the four stages of a successful financial life
Bernard Kelly started his professional life cooking French fries at McDonald's. While his first paychecks were modest, he hoped that the small amounts he set aside from each would one day lead to the financial freedom he desired.
A few short years later, Kelly's work ethic and dedication have fueled his rise from fry cook to Operations Consultant at McDonald's. At the same time, those early savings have grown into the kind of personal wealth many of us dream of achieving one day. In Flipping Burgers to Flipping Millions, Kelly shares the easy-to-understand principles at the heart of his professional and financial success--ones influenced by his experience working for the most successful restaurant business in the world--and gives you a game plan for how to use them in your own life.
Are you just starting your career Perfect. Kelly will introduce you to the the four stages of a successful financial life--Right Now, Quality of Life, Retirement, and Legacy--and explain how to navigate them. Starting a little bit later That's OK too. Kelly will help you figure out how to get back on track on your path toward financial security.
Presented in an engaging and jargon-free voice, this book will capture your imagination, change the way you think about money, and show you that financial freedom is possible--not just for other people, but for you.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kelly started working the fryer at McDonald's just out of high school, was promoted to store manager at 25, and now at 30, he's an operations consultant overseeing six stores and his net worth is more than 30 times the median net worth of his peers all through sheer not hard work. He sets out to tell readers how they can become financially free, even if they're flipping burgers but succeeds only in presenting the basics vaguely and without nuance. He touches briefly on the virtues of financial freedom, hard work, creating financial goals, living below your means, and retirement planning but barely scratches the surface on any subject. Kelly squanders his opportunity to really mine his experience for sound advice, instead he fritters away the reader's patience with odes to his employer, a self-important tone, and the barest of financial advice.
Customer Reviews
Please yes buy this and read it
This book is a great roadmap for kids that don't know what to do with their lives after recently doing poorly in high school.
It basically says:
1) it doesn't really matter what job you get. Just get a job and save for 8 years. Then invest that and you will have like $2 million at retirement.
2) if you leave a million to your kids and tell them they must invest it and their kids must invest it, your great grandchildren will be billionaires.
I'm going to read this book to my 11 year old daughter.
Oh by the way, I bought this book for $1 at Dollar Tree.
