Pirates of Financial Freedom! [Book & GOLD Giveaway!]

Do you like pirates? Gold? Reading about money? If so, yarghhhhh gonna love today’s book and following giveaway ;)

I partnered up with my friend, and published author, Joey Fehrman of the Pirates of Financial Freedom book to give one of you lucky scallywags a bountiful bag of loot valued at over $300:

  1. A real GOLD coin (!)
  2. A signed copy of Pirates of Financial Freedom (!!)
  3. A two hour consulting session on money, business, publishing, pillaging, whatever you wish (!!!)

I hung out with Joey at our latest blog conference, and I can tell you he has an immense desire to help people manage their money better. And particularly through story-telling, which is the concept for his latest book. He may not be a pirate himself, but he’s all about living it up on his own terms which we know is the ultimate goal of financial freedom.

Here’s the plot of Pirates of Financial Freedom:

“With his back against the wall, Captain Dailey is forced to make a deal that’s against every pirate bone in his body. In return, his son must save the crew from their financial problems before it is too late. In between gun fights, kidnappings, a blossoming romance, humorous pirate-isms, mythical beasts, and a long-lost treasure so extraordinary that it threatens to tear the crew apart, they must master life-changing personal finance skills.”

I don’t think Johnny Depp makes an appearance, but I’m hoping J. Money can if it ever becomes a Hollywood movie ;) I can tweak my ‘hawk  into dreads! (No I can’t).

The book is catered to the younger audience (tweens, teens, people in their 20’s), but he’s got great feedback from those who are 8 to 48 so it’s obviously good for any of us looking to get our learn on. Or, our entertainment on for that matter. He’s trying to create a new genre of “financial edutainment” to make learning about money more fun and easier to understand. Not a bad idea considering most people find this stuff boring! Joey’s also offers a 90 day “if your money isn’t better after reading this book, I’ll give you a refund” guarantee as well, and he walks the plank walk with donating 10% of all sales to charity too – something else the book encourages.

Here are some of the concepts it covers:

  • Becoming debt-free faster without needing to make extra income
  • Learning the five steps people have used to go from paycheck-to-paycheck to millionaires
  • Automating your accounts to become wealthy without having to think or do any work
  • Harnessing your finances so you can responsibly blow money on fun things you want
  • Stopping to feel guilty about procrastinating on getting your finances handled

Sound like something you or someone you know could use? You can purchase a hard copy directly from POFFbook.com for $24.99, or get a digital copy for $19.99. If you’d like to take it for a spin, you can also pony up $0.99 to read the first half of it over at Amazon and then purchase it from there if you enjoy it (or else you’ll never know the ending! ;)).

Here’s more about Joey himself (not a pirate):

Joey Fehrman, CFA, is an Ivy League graduate with over seven years experience in finance. He has managed millions of dollars for wealthy families and institutions for two large wealth management teams at top-tier investment banks. While there, he managed portfolios, provided financial advice, and developed profitable investment strategies. He studied for years to become a Chartered Financial Analyst charterholder, the gold-standard designation in the finance industry. He is a native of Omaha and graduate of the University of Pennsylvania.

Intrigued? Feeling lucky? Wanna read about pirates instead of reality?

    Well, we just bought our first home so I’d love to see all the ways we screwed up. :) The book sounds really neat, and I feel like it’d be a great deal for the younger folk. I have a younger brother who just started college and want to try to impart some of my *cough* “wisdom” onto him – really just don’t want him to make the same mistakes I did!

    I would love help with Investing in the Stock Market and Securing a Higher Credit Score.

    I have “almost no”* unsecured debt – a couple hundred on my CC monthly that gets paid off, and livable secured debts: a mortgage, car loan, and AC loan (when both ACs blow at once, in the south, at the beginning of May… oy), I have a security blanket in my savings, my investment accounts are ok. I want to grow my retirement better, and have a better credit score for those just in case moments.

    Which path will be the best way to financial independence and early retirement?

    “Plus over 75 additional concepts & skills” – Patience is probably one of those. I’m not sure I need to master it, though. I’d like to have no need for it and have things come together like magic falling out of the sky. Patience could well be a barrier to the level of success I desire, and I have been all too patient in every way for too long. The particular skills listed did not seem relevant to me; for instance, I will not purchase a home unless it is paid in full at the time of purchase. I have no interest in debt and do not find mortgage debt to be good. The gold coin is a great incentive :)

    This looks like an amazing book – not only do I love pirates, my best friend/housemate (who has absolutely no idea about how sexy budgets can be!) also does, and maybe this would let me help him realise it isn’t all about sacrifice and deprivation to pay off his debts and start preparing a nest egg!

    And me personally? I’d love to get some more skills and knowledge in relation to investing in the stock market, it seems to be where I’m up to (I have an emergency fund, no credit card debt, and my student loans are manageable) – and I’m looking forward to the journey!

    Effortlessly Saving for Retirement

    Optimizing tax load and creating cash-flow from existing investments would be next on the list for me.

    Since my wife and I are looking to buy our first home in the next few years, I will go ahead and say that I could use some skill in mastering the processing of buying a first home!

    Achieving Powerful Money Mindsets – Is the most important skill that my family needs. Hopefully family members are allowed to participate in the 2 hour session. BTW I have a old school reading chair as well. Nice retro look!

      The nice part is that you’re super young so you have decades to grow whatever investments you make right now :) So it’s important to just start saving/investing it away while you learn!

    Achieving powerful money mindsets. Because I think that would entail learning to trust myself more and worry less. Although I know intellectually that we are doing fine, I can’t believe that emotionally.

    Right now I’m paying down my debt, but it seems to have done a number to my credit score, so I might need some help in that area. I could probably use some help on the prudent spending habits as well :)

    Paying Down Debt Quickly since that is essentially the first step to all of the others. We have over $77,000 in student debt alone that I would like gone as soon as possible!!!

    Budgeting Effectively. My wife and I do not have a formal written budget and while we are doing fine financially, I know we could be knocking it out of the park if we did a monthly written budget.

    Investing just feels so over my head that, even though it feels like we are dumping a ton of money into retirement savings, I don’t feel comfortable that those dollars are working for us as much as they could be!

    When it come to living off a small amount of money, sticking to a budget (of practically pay bills and don’t spend frivolously) or not going into debt, I do great. But I would love to learn more about buying a house, so therefore making sure my credit score is great and being ready for retirement by wise investments and the best ways to save.
