Publisher's summary

What does financial freedom mean to you?

The Wise Investor is an inspiring parable about building what author Rich Fettke calls Real Wealth, the foundation of financial freedom. It tells the story of Ryan Brooks, a husband, father, and CaptivSoft’s hard-working lead coder who, with the help of a new friend and mentor, finds a different path to financial security for himself and his family and becomes wealthy in more ways than he thought possible. In it you’ll learn:

• Why working endless hours to climb the corporate ladder in search of "enough" may never give you the financial security you want.

• The true cost of a life lived on someone else’s terms—your time—which no amount of money can ever buy back.

• How to shift the limiting beliefs that might be keeping you stuck and blind to what’s possible for your finances and your life.

• An actionable, play-by-play guide to transforming your financial situation by taking charge of your habits so you can live your best life now, not in some far-off future.

Whether you seek an investment path that allows you to overcome the fear and overwhelm or are struggling just to start, the advice and wisdom in this book will help you get on track to financial freedom. If you’ve ever sought to build wealth, secure your financial future, and live a life that aligns with your values and dreams sooner rather than later, this heartwarming story about one family’s financial transformation will help shine the way.

Are you on the right path to financial freedom?

In Rich's words: "In writing The Wise Investor, I dedicated myself to creating a story that would inspire and educate—and help you believe that you can live life on your own terms. Real wealth is having the money and the freedom to do what you want, when you want, with the people you want to be with. Each of us has the power to secure financial freedom by believing in what is possible in our lives and taking action to achieve it. If you agree… your transformation has already started."

Excellent!

Gives you a taste of knowledge, but in story form with characters. Making it easier, in my mind, to understand how Real Estate investment works. A very enjoyable read.

What a refreshing modern parable that brings all financial independence ideas together!!

Great story, great content and beautifully presented. So many books these days present an idea and then belabor it to death with myriad examples. This story gives the reader all the information they need without the repetition, so refreshing!!

I bought it & finished in 36 hours or so 🔥.

I bought it & finished in 36 hours or so 🔥. Through my audible app, I saw this audiobook in the suggestions. Upon reading the short writing on what it was about, I was intrigued to know: what will he have to say?

This passage about the book in the audible store is different in that he didn't tell you what the investments were, the formula was, or that it was the only right way. When I listened to the audiobook it was fiction based upon real life as we as know it: education, work, health and fitness, family, marriage, children, service to people, etc. The main family - Ryan & Carissa + children - had what they needed to experience the life of their dreams within them but their financial situation clouded just how close they were. A mentor couple who did the work of developing them instead of bullying them were key in helping them to convert the mess into a message.

Tough choices were made, gratification was delayed, covenants were renewed and fortified 💪🏾, and abundance was created. Abundance in time with family, abundance in provision, abundance in health. A book like this is great for family night, a road trip, travel of any other sort, or as a book study.

Life changing

This book is extremely well written and a great story to be able to help more people escape the 9-5 rat race. Rich does an outstanding job narrating the story. Would give it ten stars if I could.

Captivating!

A lot of investment books give you a lot of jargon and knowledge, but seldom do finish the book having FELT the content. Rich does an amazing job of bringing the reading deep into the story and helping you feel the importance of his chapters
