Acknowledgments
oney Mastery is a work of the ages. Its ideas, principles, and
methods are the accumulated time-value works of the finan-
cially secure from ancient to modern times. It is precisely for
this reason that Money Mastery cannot be considered the
work of just a few and to recognize all that have contributed to this book
would be impossible—it is truly the work of many. However, the authors
wish to acknowledge those individuals who have been instrumental in the
creation of this work and who have inspired and enlightened us as we have
sought to bring the power of the Money Mastery ideas to you, the reader.
We must first acknowledge George S. Clason’s ageless compilation of
The Richest Man in Babylon as the wonderful philosophical basis for the Money
Mastery principles. The essence of paying oneself, dealing forthrightly with
debt, and seeking financial mentors is what this book is built upon.
To Larry Adamson, a friend and partner, we express thanks for his tech-
nical expertise and inspiration in helping create a total financial management
system that helps people make the most of the money they already have and
aids them in finding additional wealth they never dreamed possible.
We wish to acknowledge Suzanne Kimball, the managing editor of this
book, for her expert skills in the creative direction, composition, and over-
all tone of the work. This book would not have been possible without her
capable management of the project from start to finish, and her understand-
ing of the greater purpose and impact of the Money Mastery principles in
people’s lives. Suzanne has immersed herself in those principles, and lives
the work. The book could not have been written without her.

We express appreciation to Gary Weinberg, the CEO of National Semi-
nars, whose life’s work has been to educate hundreds of thousands of people
about how to have a better and more effective life, and who encouraged us
to bring the Money Mastery concept to the masses.
A special thanks goes to Tom Murphy, author and writer, who saw the
need for a good “how to” publication on financial management and who
encouraged us to write this book. His experienced perspective has guided
its development.
To Financial Health Educators’ formative partners, Glen Willardson and
Lyle Shamo, we give thanks for their long pursuit of a satisfactory means to
convey their spending and debt management ideas. We will always be grateful
for their friendship.
We acknowledge Jim Christensen and Clint Coombs, the authors of Rich
On Any Income , who have contributed to the Money Mastery program with
class and dignity. Their sincere help and support of our complete develop-
ment and presentation of the tracking systems is greatly appreciated. We
will always be grateful for their inspiration.
We especially wish to thank the thousands of clients and seminar par-
ticipants who have personally validated the principles and concepts presented
in this book. Almost every strategy found within has come from observing
these participants’ financial lives. Without our clients, these strategies would
be mere thoughts, but from their experience we have seen the absolute le-
gitimacy and inspiration of the Money Mastery principles and Tax Strate-
gies taught herein.
Not the least of those to be acknowledged are our family and friends
who have contributed to, made suggestions for, and lived the Money Mas-
tery and Tax Strategies systems and tested them to the maximum. Your
patience and love has been empowering.
Finally, we express our thanks to you, the reader, for taking the time to
seek out this book. You are our purpose.
