About this listen
Can a novel transform your financial destiny?
This one can.
The Cash Machine is unlike any other personal finance book ever written. Not only will you get sucked into the roller-coaster relationship of Amber and Dylan, you’ll learn hundreds of money lessons along the way, giving you the tools to drive your financial destiny.
As the book begins, Amber thinks her finances are under control, but her worldview crumbles when she encounters her college flame, Dylan, and his unusual perspective on money. While Amber and her friends were finishing their degrees, Dylan dropped out to pursue a different goal: financial independence.
Amber doesn’t even know what financial independence means when she reconnects with Dylan seven years later. What she does know is that there’s nothing exciting about his lifestyle. At first she writes him off as a bum, but the more she questions, the more she realizes how calculated his financial choices are. He’s not struggling for money; he’s building a cash machine.
Unlike other personal finance books, The Cash Machine was not written by financial experts. Dave and Chana Mason found themselves deeply in debt, despite having earned significant amounts of money in their careers. They came to realize that what they didn’t understand about money really was hurting them and that the time had come to get themselves a strong financial education. And when Dave and Chana want to grow in some area, they find that there’s no better way than to research and write a novel on the subject.
The result is a novel that has more financial lessons than any personal-finance book they’ve ever seen. Discover hundreds of financial lessons, seamlessly taught within a novel you won’t want to put down.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Story
Real estate investors used to build wealth the hard way: slowly saving money and sacrificing their current happiness for a future reward. This method produces results in the long run but what if there's a better, more efficient way that works in years instead of decades? Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat (BRRRR) is the five-part real estate investing strategy that makes financial freedom more attainable than ever: You buy a property under market value, add value with renovations, rent it out to tenants, complete a cash-out refinance, and then use that money to do it all over again.

Every new project (or job, or hobby, or company) starts out exciting and fun. Then it gets harder and less fun, until it hits a low point: really hard, and not much fun at all. And then you find yourself asking if the goal is even worth the hassle. Maybe you're in a Dip: a temporary setback that you will overcome if you keep pushing. But maybe it's really a Cul-de-Sac, which will never get better, no matter how hard you try.

Very Interesting Story Line!
Well written story that doubles with financial advice. I was sucked in immediately and deeply! A few narration voices of "secondary characters" weren't my favorite, but the main character is totally well done. I learned. I grew. I was entertained! I appreciate this novel!

One of the best personal finance books I've read
I've read countless personal finance classics and this book should be considered a staple! Cash Machine took the dry subject of personal finance and made it into a captivating story. The narrator did fantastic too.

Just what I was looking for!
I didn’t want to read some dull book about what stock to buy when. This is a fun and interesting story that had me wanting to get back to it.
The financial information is more or less geared toward beginners but there was still a lot that I learned along side the characters about bigger investments and taxes and buying property. I recommend this to someone who doesn’t want to be bored and also wants to learn the next steps in their journey to financial freedom.
