The underlying theme of "Get Rich Slow"?

SETTLE FOR LESS.

Here's a Get Rich Slow purveyor reinforcing this theme with its nationwide advertising campaign -- sacrifice your dream for the plan.


Now I'm a Fidelity customer so I don't mind this advertising, but these themes are now central to the Get Rich Slow theology. You've worked 55 years your entire life and you can't enjoy yourself?

After reading the thread about Stop Acting Rich it became apparant the the major message of "Get Rich Slow" is to settle for less. It encourages people to forgo dreams in favor of muted mediocrity. If you want a 1968 Shelby, FORGET IT!! Real millionaires don't live this way!

In other words, dump the dream and get on a road that will never converge with your dreams ...

This is why I believe the Fastlane is so important as an alternative: It is a road the CAN converge with dreams, even if that dream is something so insignificant as a 1968 Shelby.
