About - Finance Feast

n Feb 2013 Finance Feast was just a glint in it's father's eye. I remember it this way:

It was the beginning of our fourth year making our living from an online business where we sold an ever-increasing number of items on Amazon and four ecommerce sites.

We had been traveling full-time for five years after selling almost everything we had in Blaine Washington and quitting a contracting business we named Van Go House Painting.

The money was getting really good.which began to concern me because I knew I would soon have to start investing the excess. That was a problem.

Since I bought my first stock in fifth grade, 100 shares of Commonwealth United at $8 per share, I would always put excess money into stocks.

Then in 2000 I started putting excess money into buying houses. But now, after some deep stock losses in 2009 I became increasingly aware that I don't want to play the stock market anymore.

I've since reached the conclusion that I'm not a smart investor and I don't trust myself to make good choices as I get older because I no longer enjoy spending my time studying corporations and the economy. Traveling full time can do that to a person. I'm sitting there looking at elephants and baboons from the veranda where I happened to be living at that moment and found that my heart just isn't in it anymore. I can't even get interested in biographies of corporate presidents nowadays.

So I decided to look for new things to invest in that WOULD turn me on, and I did that by asking Google. Nothing. So I asked Amazon. Still nothing.

I thought about that for awhile and then it occurred to me that I had met so many men all over the world during the period from the beginning of my travels to present, and everywhere, Greece, Britain, Croatia, Ecuador,America, Spain, I found that the men who were in their sixties and seventies who were the type to have invested a million or more, were in a constant and long state of depression. Previous to 2008 they had a vivid idea of how much they had to live on for the rest of their lives, and now they saw that number cut in half, and they seem permanently stunned.

Some spent a lot of time alone in their beds each day. Some just saw all the glee vanish from their future because they WOULD have enough to live on but the EXTRA was gone. They didn't feel they could travel with their wives the way they had pictured. And since they're older, they didn't feel they could turn things around again because they had already built their fortunes and weren't young men anymore and didn't have the energy to begin again on something monumental.

I thought that if I want a new game to put my money in, I'll bet some of THEM could get excited again if someone put the answer in their hands. That's what Finance Feast is. I am the father of Finance Feast and I hope you're one of those people who need this and I hope it changes your life in amazing and unexpected ways.

If it does, I hope you share your story with me because nothing could bring me more joy than to know that you've benefited from a life-change that was somehow affected by Finance Feast, my gift to you.
