ESI pulls back the curtain on his biggest financial missteps, from reckless early spending to investing in high-fee mutual funds and getting burned by an uninsured bank.

Quotes to ponder:


"I had no budget and absolutely no savings. I was making a fortune after all, why did I need to save?"


"If I had loosened up a bit and been willing to accept properties with a 9% return, I’d probably have twice as many properties as I do now."
