Jim Interviews Phil Town
By JLP | February 28, 2006
If you have been reading personal finance or investing blogs for a while, you have probably heard of Phil Town, the author of “Rule #1″. My MoneyBlogNetwork buddy, Jim, has posted an interview with Phil. One thing that bugs me about this interview is how Phil skirts around the question:
I think this is a fair question since Phil mentions it on his blog. The math is staggering. In order to go from $1,000 to $1,000,000 in five years, you would have to average over 298% return per year! Possible? Yes. Likely? No.
To be fair, I have not read the book. And, there are things about Phil’s philosophy that I do like. I just wish he would answer the question.

Will you be reviewing the book in the future?

FMF,
Doubtful. I didn’t recieve a preview copy and I also have a lot on my plate right now. How about you?

I didn’t see this as skirting the question, really. But yeah, that said I think this is addressed in the intro to his book.

Why does it smell like Kyosaki or some other monstrously leveraged real-estate high-wire act? Not that many don’t make this sort of thing work, but I’d love to hear about investments that make you rich doing something other than peddling your get-rich-quick book
I guess I’m more of a boring “millionaire next door” fan…

Well, mutual funds aren’t making any of us rich, so why not try someone else’s take?
