Step #1 Your Bank: It’s Time to Go Local Are You Banking with the Tapeworm 20? In 2004, the 20 largest banks operating in the US had profits of $89 billion while US households recorded a deficit of $342 billion. Switch to a local, well managed bank! Visit for A Vote That Counts video & Where Would Jesus Bank? (and other good folks too) Invite friends and neighbors to join you in a Solari Circle

Summary: Rules of Thumb Get Started: bank local, eat local, turn off your tv Think “who” Play Solari 2-Test and profit from a rising Popsicle Index De-centralize Withdraw from the Tapeworm Lower overhead, increase self-sufficiency Build equity, rather than yield

The Bottom Line Freedom cannot be bought with money; individual financial security is not sufficient to achieve personal freedom. Freedom comes from profiting through collaborative efforts to create freedom and to enjoy the wealth created. Freedom begins with seeing the diamonds in your own backyard!
