New Book Helps Everyday Investors Break Free from Financial Confusion with Clear, Strategic Advice
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, July 1, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- 'How the Rich Get Richer: Your Ultimate Guide for Building Wealth' by Gabriel Shahin is now available on Amazon. The book is published with Forbes Books, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes.
In 'How the Rich Get Richer,' Gabriel Shahin, principal and founder of Falcon Wealth Planning, offers an eye-opening, insider's look at the financial planning, tax angles, and long-term investing strategies leveraged by the ultra-wealthy. As a fee-only advisor, Shahin can provide a candid perspective on how elite financial principles—not the mass-market products advanced by commissioned advisors—can unlock lasting wealth and peace of mind.
Shahin shares the secrets and tips he's used to guide clients from all starting points, emphasizing clarity, personal goals, and knowing your 'why.' If you're trying to retire early, leave a legacy, or gain more control over your finances, this book delivers without jargon or intimidation.
Readers will learn:
—Why understanding your 'why' is the foundation of financial success.
—How to align financial decisions with your values and long-term vision.
—Proven strategies for minimizing taxes, optimizing investments, and protecting wealth.
—How to overcome fear and confusion with education, planning, and action.
With warmth, humor, and a teacher's heart, Shahin invites readers to move beyond syndicated financial advice and embrace a more personalized, values-driven approach.
'I hope this book demonstrates that wealth planning is not a paint-by-numbers approach,' Shahin said. 'Your tax strategies need to be working in conjunction with your investment strategies. If you are on your way to being wealthy, creating a wealth-building strategy now is fuel for your growing engine. If you are already wealthy, then you know creating a multifaceted plan is essential—preferably a strategy that is independent and not based on someone making hefty commissions for selling you something.'
Whether you're just getting started or preparing for retirement, 'How the Rich Get Richer' is the perfect summer read to start building a more secure, fulfilling financial future.

What to know: SpaceX to launch another Amazon Kuiper mission from Cape Canaveral in Florida
Amazon's Kuiper internet constellation will continue to grow thanks to yet another launch -- again on a SpaceX rocket. The mission is known as KF-02 (Kuiper Falcon 2) and is set to liftoff no earlier than 10:01 a.m. Thursday, August 7, from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. SpaceX has a 27-minute window to make the launch. As the name suggests, it is the second launch of the satellites atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. SpaceX recently launched a batch of the satellites back on July 16. Amazon Kuiper SpaceX launch from Cape Canaveral Comparable to SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet, the Amazon Kuiper satellite internet service promises to provide internet in "unserved and underserved communities." Overall, this will be the fourth launch of the satellite constellation to date. Kuiper saw its first batch launched April 28 of this year atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. The SpaceX's Falcon 9 will deploy the satellites 289 miles above Earth, and then Amazon's Project Kuiper team will take over from an operations center in Redmond, Washington. From there, the Amazon team will raise the satellites to an altitude of approximately 391 miles. Amazon was founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos, who also founded space company, Blue Origin. SpaceX and the Starlink satellites are products of billionaire Elon Musk. Eventually, the Amazon Kuiper satellites will eventually be launched atop Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket as well. Amazon plans to have 3,232 of the first-generation satellites in orbit within the coming years. In contrast, SpaceX has about 8,000 Starlink satellites in orbit. The Project Kuiper satellites are processed for launch at the new $140 million, 100,000-square-foot processing plant at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. When is the next Florida launch? Is there a launch today? Upcoming NASA, SpaceX, ULA rocket launch schedule at Cape Canaveral SpaceX Falcon 9 launch in Florida to see new booster The Falcon 9 first-stage, also known as the booster, launching this mission is seeing its first flight. This is a rare occasion, as SpaceX routinely pushes its fleet of boosters to well beyond 20 flights. Reusability keeps the costs down. There will be no Space Coast sonic booms, as the new booster will land out on the A Shortfall of Gravitas drone ship, which will be waiting in the Atlantic Ocean. A few days following the launch, the new booster will arrive back at Port Canaveral for retrival by SpaceX. Brooke Edwards is a Space Reporter for Florida Today.

There's a spending split between Americans, and it's popping up from McDonald's to Uber
If you've been waiting for the shoe to drop on the US consumer economy, keep waiting. Strong results from some retail brands during the first half of this year are defying the economic warning bells that have been ringing for several quarters now. Recent earnings calls have revealed a pattern that points to a continued split in Americans' spending, and some CEOs are approaching the gap with caution. 2 types of spending Looking at brands across the consumer economy, a tale of two shoppers emerges. While consumers with annual earnings of at least $100,000 increased their spending in the first six months of 2025, those making less than $50,000 a year did almost the exact opposite, pulling back on spending each month, Morning Consult's lead economist, Kayla Bruun, wrote last week. "The story is inconsistent across income groups," Bruun wrote. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said last week that the e-commerce juggernaut saw the biggest-ever Prime Day event and that tariffs haven't caused much of a dent in the retail business. "In the first half of the year, in the first half, we just haven't seen diminished demand," he said. And Costco said said Wednesday that fiscal year comparable sales in the US are up 6.2% from the prior year, with visits up 4.3% in the US. Those results might be hiding a more complicated picture, and the state of the US consumer will become clearer in the coming weeks when companies including Walmart and Target report their financials. For now, though, companies are highlighting this growing divide between the wealthy and the less affluent. While McDonald's reported same-store sales growth of 3.8% on Wednesday, CEO Chris Kempczinski said the industry continues to see a decline in visits from low-income customers. It's a big focus for McDonald's because low-income customers are more frequent buyers than those in higher income brackets, he said. "This bifurcated consumer base is why we remain cautious about the overall near-term health of the US consumer. In this environment, we will continue to remain agile with respect to our value offerings to ensure the US strengthens its leadership in value and affordability," Kempczinski said. Kempczinski said that reintroducing menu items at the $2.99 price point was essential in improving customer perception of the burger chain's value, especially as lower-income household budgets tighten. Executives at Yum Brands and Chipotle have echoed the same sentiment in recent earnings calls. Both have launched value-driven promotions and limited-time menu offerings to drive foot traffic as quick-service restaurants see fewer customers coming through their doors. Hotels are seeing a similar trend, Booking Holdings' chief financial officer, Ewout Steenbergen, said on an earnings call last week. "We see generally, top end of the US consumer market will be a little stronger, spending more in the 5-star hotel category, spending more on international travel," he said. "We see at the lower end, more careful behavior," the CFO added. "Pressure on the domestic travel, on the lower-star rated hotels, so there is definitely a little bit more of the negative behavior that we see in terms of impact to the US consumer." Consumers are spending, but the devil is in the details Another company that's seeing a consumer split is Uber. Uber's ride-hailing business grew in the late spring, notching a 16% increase in revenue during the company's latest quarter. Two groups of riders appear to be driving that growth. The company cited lifts from both its higher-priced rides, such as its Comfort and Black offerings, and from some options that generally carry cheaper fares, such as its wait-and-save option. "Different parts of our demographic are sensitive to price, and then there are other parts of our demographic who want a premium product," CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said. "So what you're seeing from us is actually a barbell strategy." People also continue to spend on Uber's services, especially for food delivery. The company's delivery revenue rose 20%, beating analysts' expectations in its second-quarter earnings report on Wednesday. "At this point, we're not seeing weakness in the consumer," Khosrowshahi told CNBC on Wednesday. Foot traffic data from and Colliers indicates that while retail visits were up compared to the same period a year earlier, customers favored more affordable brands and experiences — like Chili's, Crunch Fitness, Ollie's Bargain Outlet, and HomeGoods — over bigger-ticket discretionary purchases, like home improvement and electronics. The analysis also found that brands with middle- and upper-income consumers, like Nordstrom, Staples, LA Fitness, and Barnes & Noble, saw the most significant gains in the first half of the year. "This suggests that while value matters, brands don't need the lowest prices to win customers," Colliers' national research manager for retail services, Nicole Larson, wrote about the chains that target more affluent shoppers. "Brands that effectively communicate their value proposition can thrive, no matter the final price point."
