Description
Like a player in a casino, you are programmed to inevitably lose your money, assets, time and effort. Despite this pessimistic view, learning the rules of the game and making your own luck is still within your grasp.
Do you feel that you are lacking 'something' or have unmet expectations in life? Have you ever wondered if working and earning money is simply a means to an end?
Lee Jae Kwon, author of Design Your Future and Attitude Makes Opportunities, has spent a significant portion of his life contemplating the links between happiness and financial success. Lifetime Money shares the lessons he has learned in the hope that it will help readers to prepare for their future and realize their dreams.
This insightful guide focuses on the concept of Lifetime Money (LTM), a specific amount of money one must calculate that will ensure a comfortable future, post retirement. It delves into the current economic systems that limit the achievement of one's LTM, discusses how to increase one's value through self-management, outlines ten working styles, and provides advice on how to achieve LTM through five essential factors.
Although achieving Lifetime Money is an essential factor in the pursuit of happiness, Lee Jae Kwon also reminds us that making money is simply a means to an end and must be considered in the wider context of what you truly value in life.

Lifetime Money: Preparing for Your Future by Lee Jae Kwon is a guidance manual with the intent of assisting readers who might feel stunted in their work-life balance, earning potential, quality of life, and professional development. Broken down into three interconnected parts, Kwon covers multiple areas such as the concept of positive vs negative pain and the reality of what a reader on the safe path can expect in retirement in part one, Lifetime Money. Part two, Lifetime Money Thinking, scratches deeper below the surface with how modern corporate culture sees little value in employees beyond being performance-drivers, the fault in this unbalanced dynamic, and the carving out of a reader's ability to deduce and harness their value with the end game being the taming of their personal, elusive wolf. Finally, part three, Achieving Lifetime Money, delves into the parameters of achieving one's LTM potential as a master of their own destiny. “Ideally, individuals will enjoy their work whilst they make value for others; however, they are not given money for their enjoyment – they are given money for the value they provide.”
Lee Jae Kwon is clearly a seasoned professional and a natural motivator, and I'm surprised my first introduction to his work is through this book, Lifetime Money. From a literary standpoint, the narrative and quality of writing are massive, a masterful feat with a guide that is uniquely short. A testament to his capacity to move and inspire is that he is able to accomplish exactly this by way of crystal clear articulation, a purpose-driven presentation that slices through all the unnecessary fat, and that gives readers what they have come for: results. Further to this, Kwon's message embodies the lost art of integrity, not just in how we behave ourselves but also what we should expect from others. Namely, our employers, until we can transcend working for others and ultimately work for ourselves. My favorite chapter is seven, Easy Money Does Not Exist. Kwon espouses the hardships overcome by successful individuals who appear to have had success plopped on their laps. The majority “did their time” and put in the work, regardless of how effortless their journey looks from the outside. Kwon is a wildly talented author, a prime mover, and a professional of distinction that deserves all of the accolades given. Very highly recommended.
