Master Time, Money, and Probability-or Be Mastered by Them
The Forbidden Knowledge (1494-2025)
A renegade friar named **Luca Pacioli** buried a wealth bomb in a math textbook:
72 รท interest rate = years to double your money.
For 500 years, banks hid this secret as the Medici, Rothschild, and Buffett built empires on it.
You've Been Robbed By:
APR Illusions: Banks sell 6% APR loans *knowing* daily compounding makes it 6.18% APY.
Fee Time-Theft 1% fees steal *1.8 years per wealth double*.
**Probability Ignorance**: Guessing stocks ("It'll moon!") vs. calculating odds (65% chance of 30% gain).
Wall Street profits from your temporal illiteracy. The Rule of 72 is your emancipation.
