 #BLUFFbooks 📚 — "A Financial Declaration of Financial Independence" (p. 2008) by Josh Gilliam, CKA 

Subtitle: "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Holiness"

 Big Ideas Below: ⬇️


💡1. I Volunteer as Tribute! (We let shopping malls extort us worse than the British ever did). 💳👑 What is the "crown" of popular culture?

 
💡2. Chasing the Dragon (We crave ever-greater quantity/variety of stuff to achieve ephemeral happiness). 🐲💉. We cannot defy natural law indefinitely by trying to substitute physical stuff for spiritual meaning) 🎣💕

 
💡3. "Yes Officer, My Virtue Signal Is Broken" (Beware of greenwashing and slacktivism). 👮‍♂️☮  Many people try to use “spiritual credibility” to project competency and build trust to win business. […] It’s not as important for an advisor to tell you he or she is a Christian as it is for he or she to demonstrate Christian principles.

 
💡4. FIRE = Just a New Idol? — Exchanging spiritual dependency on job income for spiritual dependency on investment income. ‍👦 Do we really give out of disciplinee, let alone faith?
