Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The raise doesn't fix anything. Here's what does.Owen just received the largest raise of his six-year engineering career - and felt strangely, specifically disappointed. His income had grown steadily. His actual financial position hadn't. The math was uncomfortable but simple: every raise had been quietly absorbed by a slightly bigger life, leaving him no more secure, no more flexible, and no less dependent on a single employer than he'd been years earlier.Most financial advice collapses into one question: save and invest more. This book argues that's dangerously incomplete. A financial life worth having depends on answering three separate questions - how do I make myself worth more, how do I protect what I've built from a single bad year, and how do I preserve the freedom to change course when the plan stops working?In The Practical Wealth Guide, Jonathan Reed builds a complete framework around these three pillars - Value, Protection, and Optionality - using real historical grounding (J.P. Morgan's 1907 panic, the Medici banking dynasty, Lloyd's of London, Buffett's 2008 cash position) alongside the honest, undramatic stories of four people learning to close the gaps in their own financial lives.This isn't a book about getting rich quickly. It's a book about becoming structurally harder to damage - and genuinely freer to choose - through the patient, compounding practice of building value, defending it, and keeping your options open.Wealth isn't a number. It's a practice. Start building it today.
