Economic Termites: Protect Your Assets from Financial Destruction

by Robert Wolf

I want people like you to have an understanding about your money. I figured the best way to accomplish this was to educate others on money basics. So I decided to meet people where they are and found they're all pretty much in the same place--confused. In addition to no one connecting the available information to your specific situation, no one addressed how certain challenges affect the growth of your money. Enter "Economic Termites." I woke up with this phrase in my head one night. The term seems rather baffling at first. I use it to help create a visual of how certain economic terms, processes, and events affect us. For our purposes here, we are more concerned about what they do rather than what they are.

About the author

I spent about 50 years criss-crossing America, living in 10 states and and in humungous cities like New York and Chicago, as well as small towns and villages like Duran, New Mexico (when I was 19 and rented a shack for $10 a month). My goal was to know America fully and to that end I wanted to work every job in the country and have conversations with everyone. I've been a newspaper columnist, a teacher in an inner-city school, a college teacher, a ranch hand, a writing instructor, a dishwasher and busboy. I have used all these experiences in my novels, plays, nom-fiction, and poetry. At 82 I've had a rich life.
