Home sales are falling and the supply is growing.

"The supply of homes on the market has risen to 7.4 months' worth, the most in over 7 years." - Investor's Business Daily

Today's Sponsor is Audible

I’m often asked how I stay up to date on investment opportunities and current investing cycles. I turned off my radio years ago - when I drive I listen to podcasts or an audio book. I’ve often talked about using your car as a mobile learning center.

That’s how I read most of my books today. I don’t have time to sit and read, but I have lots of time to multitask and listen to a book while I walk my dog, drive to the store or get ready in the morning. It’s how I leverage my time to learn more. You can do it too.

I started my Wealth Building with Think and Grow Rich and I recommend you start there too because it deals with Step 1 to Wealth: Create a Wealthy Mindset. If you already have it then I recommend The Millionaire Next Door. Both are great books I highly recommend.

You can choose 3 titles every month and if you don’t like a book, you can exchange it free. You own the book and can listen to it on your iphone, Android, iPod, Fire tablet or other mp3 player.

I love a great deal, who doesn’t? Right now, for a limited time, you can get 3 months of Audible for just $6.95 a month, that’s MORE THAN half off the regular price.

Just go to audible.com/wealth or text “wealth” to 500500 to get started. That’s audible.com/wealth.

And while you’re at it, give the gift of Audible to a loved one.
