Duke ColemanThe author was born in California, USA, in 1958 to parents of Irish immigrants that moved from Ireland in the 1920s to seek opportunities in America. Just two generations earlier, his family was struggling to survive, with little hope of being money-ealthy in their lifetime. But now not only his life but the lives of his three children have seen the abundance that America offered to those who are willing to work hard, get education, save, and invest to be money-wealthy. Wanting other people to learn early in life how important saving and investing is has motivated the author to write this book. He earned a master's degree in mechanical engineering while working in the aerospace industry and has enjoyed translating complex engineering and mathematical ideas into simple, easy-to-understand descriptions. He hopes you will find this description the easy way to explain the real reason why the rich are getting rich and the poor are getting poorer so you can get started planning how you and your children want to stay financially healthy.
