What is The Wealth Letters?
The Wealth Letters is a crowdsourced collection of correspondence on how to live the good life in a noisy world — collected from the Titans of success to everyday people like you & me.
The manifesto is a great place to start before diving in to the collection, as it will give a clear vision of the who, what, & why of The Wealth Letters.
Who is this for?
This project was originally started for my two baby girls, but has quickly expanded beyond just my daughters. I want this project to reach not only myself, my daughters, and my family & friends; but maybe even beyond my closest sphere.
My aim is that this diverse collection of insights can be dissected, fact-checked, emulated, and applied to our lives to find true wealth, wisdom, & meaning in a world that bombards us with “noise” from all directions.
Upon reading the collection, you will realize that wealth, wisdom, & meaning are things we all are pursuing, even if it is different for each person.
We are human beings…our DNA is wired to want more: More money. More possessions. More success. More knowledge. More happiness. More meaning. More wealth.
I believe that if every single one of us were to be brutally honest with ourselves, we all would agree that we are on a continuous search for that “something” in our lives, and that continuous search can be daunting; exhausting.
I don’t want my daughters, wife, self, family, friends, or anyone reading the collection (that’s you) to have to grapple with this constant search for what is “enough.”
Why is This Public?
This is being made public for two simple reasons:
We all face our own demons in this world, and I believe that as a community, we can learn to navigate some of these issues we face by sharing with, and learning from others. We are not meant to fight the struggles of this life alone.
Mr. Money Mustache (perhaps one of the most well-known personal finance / financial independence bloggers in the world) says that “making it public” puts skin in the game and better drives one to meet their goal(s). From someone who has been there and done that, I will heed his advice. The purpose of this project and its ultimate goal is lofty, and I will need support in achieving it.
“Proclaiming your goals in public really gets you off your butt to accomplish them. The only question is: Do you have the guts to do it, when there’s no turning back?” - Mr. Money Mustache
I Need Your Help
In order for this guidebook to reach more people, I need your help.
What can you do to help?
You can:
Share your own wealth letter to take part, and be featured in, this crowdsourced guidebook on how to find true wealth, wisdom, & meaning.
If that sounds interesting to you, here is a link to write your letter for the guidebook.
If you would like to voice record your wealth letter, you can do that easily by clicking here (your voice recording will then be sent to me directly).
Don’t worry about how organized your spoken words are…just speak what is on your heart. I will then edit/transcribe your words for clarity into written format (and clear it with you before publishing).
Maybe you do not want to write or voice record a letter. That’s okay! You can still help contribute to the guidebook:
Share this project with friends, family, or an audience you feel could benefit.
Share this project with the people you would LOVE to learn from (perhaps they would feel called to provide their own letter)
If you have any ideas, feedback, or just want to say hello, please reach out via email: support@thewealthletters.com or drop a comment below!
I look forward to hearing from you!
