Ca$h Craft: The Musings and Meditations of an Income Investor

Can a retiree break the "4% Rule" without breaking the bank? What key money milestones help an investor build a million-dollar portfolio and progress to the doorstep of early retirement? In CA$H CRAFT: The Musings and Meditation of an Income Investor, Rancroft Beachley considers important questions of retirement finance as he brings a philosophical perspective to the theory and practice of income investing. Rich with anecdotes and insights gleaned during the author's affiliation with a Los Angeles investment club dedicated to yield-focused strategies, the book relates details of the author's own journey to early retirement and explores intriguing topics such as the income vs. total-return debate, "F-U money" and the metrics of financial abundance, portfolio designs that maximize the quality/productivity rubric, and non-traditional measures of net worth, to name a few. Unique in scope and perspective, written by an experienced practitioner, CA$H CRAFT will appeal to aspiring "Incomistas," early retirees, and investors curious about a strategy that generates little media attention but offers significant wealth-building potential.
