Three roads

DeMarco recalls seeing a Lamborghini as a teenager and asking its young owner what he did. The answer was that he was an inventor, and it set DeMarco looking for a faster road to wealth than a job and decades of saving.

He describes three roadmaps. The Sidewalk means spending everything with no plan. The Slowlane is the conventional path: get a job, save, invest in the market and hope to retire wealthy late in life. The Fastlane means building a business that can create wealth quickly.
