An Unusual Request

Hi Scott,

I have an unusual request. 
 
Before reading your book, my husband Derek’s after-work hours were taken up largely by games on his phone and Netflix. Now he reads investing books every evening. It has been amazing to see him transform! We have paid off our house and are investing our savings, with our portfolio growing rapidly. We have a one-year-old son who is the luckiest boy in the world to have my husband as his father. So to my request: please tell my husband “well done!”

Hi Sally,
 
It’s got nothing to do with me, and everything to do with becoming a father and realising what’s truly important.
 
Your hard work and dedication have given you the ultimate form of wealth: time to spend with your kids. 
 
The only test you have is the urge to upsize your home. Remember, though, that kids don’t care about the suburb you live in, the car you drive, or your title at the office — all they really care about is spending time with you.
 
Your husband has worked it out.
 
Happy Father’s Day, and good onya Derek!

Scott
