It may sound complicated, but Shen is here to tell us that if she did it, anyone can. Not everyone can become an entrepreneur or a real estate baron; the rest of us need her mathematically proven approach to retire decades before sixty-five.Shen is not your typical investment guru. She grew up in abject poverty in rural China, worked for a decade as a middle-class immigrant professional in Canada, and now travels the world as a retired millionaire. In short, she really walks the walk, and here she shares the mindsets she developed at each income level that launched her to the next.

Excerpt from Book CHAPTER ONE: BLOOD MONEY One of my fondest childhood memories is digging with my friends in a medical waste heap in rural China. As we sorted through the piles of latex gloves, soiled gowns, and used syringes, a tiny voice in the back of my five- year- old head suggested that maybe this wasnt such a great idea. But that was overridden by a much louder, more hopeful voice saying, "What treasures will I find today?" Now, dont get me wrong. I didnt live inside the medical waste heap-- Im not a troll. But I did enjoy it because unlike in a real store, if I saw something I wanted, I could actually get it. Otherwise, a typical experience went like this: "Mom," I would say, my face pressed up against a glass case, "I know were poor and we dont have any money. But one day, when I grow up, and I make my own money, then can I have that doll?" And somehow the answer was still no. So thats why my friends and I were behind the hospital that day. If I couldnt buy a toy, I reasoned, maybe I could make one. I did find something, believe it or not, in a seemingly infinite supply of discarded rubber bands. We tied the loops together to form a chain and then made the chain into a Chinese jump rope. The best part was that every time our rope broke I could repair it by just swapping out the wonky rubber band. These days, this would be considered grounds for child services to get involved, but back then, this was just what life was like. We were dirt- poor. And when youre dirt- poor, your choice isnt between Barbie and My Little Pony. Your choice is between food, heat, and medicine, in that order. Toys never even entered the picture. According to the US Census Bureau, in 1987, the national average wage in the United States was $18,426.51 per year per person.1 In China, it was 1,459 CNY, or $327, per year per person.2 To put that in perspective, earning enough to buy a Nintendo Entertainment System (Deluxe Set) at its then- retail price of $179 would have taken the aver Details ISBN0525538690 Author Bryce Leung Pages 288 Publisher Penguin Putnam Inc Year 2019 ISBN-10 0525538690 ISBN-13 9780525538691 Format Paperback Place of Publication New York, NY Country of Publication United States Subtitle No Gimmicks, Luck, or Trust Fund Required Illustrations 5-10 black and white photos Imprint TarcherPerigee Short Title Quit Like a Millionaire Language English DEWEY 332.024014 Audience General/Trade UK Release Date 2019-07-09 Publication Date 2019-07-09 AU Release Date 2019-07-09 NZ Release Date 2019-07-09 US Release Date 2019-07-09 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
