Inhaltsangabe:

Fear. Deception. Poverty. Death. Bruce Wayne tells the story about four generations of the Johnson family who find themselves trapped by the consequences of their bad financial decisions. Will a husband's desperate act lead them out of the Vicious Cycle?

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: As a former athlete, Bruce has seen up close and personal how financial illiteracy claimed the riches of a few of his former teammates, and other prominent sports figures. While he admits that he didn’t amass millions, he too, made financial decisions that were informed only by what he witnessed and experienced as a child. After making several costly mistakes, he decided to pursue a deeper understanding of business, economics, and finance to stop what he has termed the Vicious Cycle of Financial Illiteracy. His message is clear: Irresponsible, uninformed financial decisions and behaviors are detrimental to you and your family’s existence. Without the awareness, desire to change and to become financially literate, future generations are inevitably doomed to repeat the same tragic mistakes. After several years of advising and working in banking, he was inspired to write The Vicious Cycle “A family’s despair,” to illustrate how one family’s despair brought on by a series of bad decisions coupled with bad judgment can lead to tragedy. Anyone can relate to and identify with the Johnson family’s struggle – living paycheck to paycheck; wanting to provide the very best for their children; needing immediate gratification and wanting a better life; not worrying about what tomorrow may bring – and still not know what to do or how to stop their own vicious cycle. This book is not only meant to be a wakeup call but is one of many steps that Bruce is taking to generate thought and conversation to start a movement to improve financial literacy. He is not evangelizing prosperity. As a financial expert and advocate, he knows that people want to make better decisions about their finances, but they lack the mindset, discipline, and understanding to do so. His hope is that after reading this story, many are inspired to learn more and do better.
