Hello, dear. My name is Caroline Graham. I’m originally from Virginia, but I found my way here to Glenn Lake to live near my good friends, the Daileys. I’m going to take you back to my life before Glenn Lake. To tell you about the person I once was and how I grew to be the person who fights for the little guy or gal. It’s not an easy story for me to tell as I’ve had lots of losses in my 70+ years on this planet. But as my mother once told me I would, I found my hope, my purpose, and the meaning in all the loss. It just took some time and patience to get here. Come sit by me and we'll flip through my photo albums of the past as I tell you my story.

Hi. My name is Becca. I’ve lived in Glenn Lake nearly my entire life. I’m the mother of three wonderful children, but I didn’t always enjoy that title. I used to think of it as my prison, my punishment for all my sins. Until one night when my life changed and everything I loved was nearly gone from me, or at least I was going to be gone. If not for my amazing daughter, Mandy, I don’t know if I would be here to tell my story. And what’s my story? It’s one of finding purpose and forgiveness, getting a second chance at being a mother, and finding my way back to my true love. Come have a seat. I’ll fix you a cup of tea and cut you a big slice of my famous banana bread while you listen to my tale. My name is Ricky. I will also share a part of Becca’s story by telling my side. We share a past, and I’d love to rekindle that flame. However, being a single dad and trying to raise young children, especially one who is still grieving her mother, might be too much for us to overcome.

Hi. My name is Mandy. I live in the quaint town of Glenn Lake. I was born to a young mother who struggled to raise me in an unforgiving world, and when she finally broke, I had to take over my care and learn to survive. Taking care of myself wasn’t all that hard. I found odd jobs and learned to cope, but then in my early teens, two innocent babies were added to the mix. While I instantly loved my siblings, my role changed from sister to mother, and my survival had to include them. But one night, push came to shove, literally, and I had had enough. That is when my once small World got a whole lot bigger, and I took complete control. This is my coming-of-age story, though many would argue I was born grown. And, hi, I’m Jimmy. I play a part in telling Mandy’s story as well. The once young and timid girl has grown into a woman who can handle anything life throws at her, and it does. I’m here to cheer her on and give her a hand when needed. Anything to make her life a little easier. She has worked too hard to get here. Join us in this first story from Glenn Lake.

Hi, I am Bobby Rakhit, the creator of ‘F$CK YOU MONEY’ (FuM©), a somewhat unusual title for which I make no excuse; if you want to understand the concept, read the book. Whether this is the first or last business book you read, you will gain new insights and experience a few epiphanies by the time you reach the final page. I have written the contents of this book to shock you more than the title does, introducing you to an entirely new paradigm. Insights and ideas about the business of doing life. Doing life well, right through to its end. It is the first in a series of books that will turn your thinking inside-out, upside-down, and back to front. Changing your established mindsets to take you to a destination far from the one to which you are currently headed. Think life on another planet. I am interested in anyone who is ready for an adventure. If you are between twenty-five to thirty-five years old living in extended adolescence, I am talking to you. If you’re unemployed, binge-watching TV series on Mom and Dad’s couch, living in an unrealistic bubble of carefree juvenescence, I am talking to you. If you’re drifting on the wind of chance, hoping it will somehow get you where you want to be, I am talking to you. And anyone else between the age of student and pensioner. The industrial revolution birthed new careers far from the previous regime of family enterprises. The days when farmers, village cobblers, and blacksmiths were introduced to mechanised systems, creating jobs to suit the evolving progress of human needs. It was an unstoppable process of rapid development. Nothing compared to the lightning-fast digital revolution we live in right now, at a pace we hope to hold on to by our fingertips. The sweet spot of living life contentedly between fulfilled job satisfaction and a balanced personal life has become an elusive dream. For most, it is more of a work-life imbalance. Perfecting the way to say ‘F$CK YOU MONEY’ is learning to massage a successful career into a sustainable future of meaningful, satisfied contentment. Welcome aboard. I guarantee you an exciting journey. Your FuM© Director, Bobby Rakhit Entrepreneur, Author, Philanthropist, Creator of FuM© The Rakhit Foundation Beneficiaries The Rakhit Foundation is the fulfilment of a non-profit enterprise's dream to launch upliftment projects. The initial project will focus on selecting a small group of young orphans in Africa to assist with their daily needs, health, and education. The proceeds of the book sales, including the rest of the series, will go towards this and future projects. Online customers purchasing any version of the book (paperback, eBook, or audio) can donate one or more copies of any selected version through the website at www.fkyoumoney.org.
