A Journey to Shift Your Financial Thinking
by Randy Lorensen
If you’re working hard, doing “all the right things,” and still feel like you’re falling behind, this book is for you. Demystifying Money uses a simple, gripping story to reveal how today’s financial system quietly steals your time and options—and gives you a clear, practical way to protect your family and build real abundance.
If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering, “Will I ever be able to retire, or will I be working until my last breath?”—this book is for you.
Demystifying Money: A Journey to Shift Your Financial Thinking is written for people who feel the system is stacked against them. Maybe you’re worried about rising prices, college for your kids, or whether owning a home is still possible. Maybe every financial setback feels like a personal failure, and you’re tired of feeling confused by jargon and half-truths about money and the economy.
You are not the problem. The way money works today is.
Instead of throwing charts and formulas at you from page one, Demystifying Money takes you on a story-driven journey. You’ll follow an island community as it discovers money, builds prosperity, and then slowly breaks its own financial system through the same decisions our leaders are making right now. As their world unravels, you’ll see inflation, debt, and “money printing” not as abstract terms, but as real forces that impact families, businesses, and everyday life.
Then the book pulls back the curtain on our world.
In plain, simple language, you’ll learn:
* How modern money, debt, and inflation actually work behind the scenes
* Why it feels like you’re running faster just to stay in place
* How governments and central banks quietly transfer wealth from savers and workers
* Patterns from history when currencies were abused—and how people protected themselves
* How to think more clearly about risk, savings, investing, and long-term security for your family
* Why tools like Bitcoin and other scarce assets matter in a broken system (without hype or get-rich-quick promises)
Demystifying Money is not a textbook and it’s not a trading manual. It’s a clear, human, and sometimes uncomfortable look at the financial game you’re already playing—plus a roadmap for how to respond with more clarity, confidence, and sovereignty.
If you’re worried about the future but determined to protect your family and build real abundance, this book will help you finally understand the game and start playing it on purpose.

Randy Lorensen is an entrepreneur, author, and podcaster obsessed with one question: how do everyday people create real freedom and abundance in a system that feels rigged against them? He built a national cabinet business from the ground up, learning firsthand how money, incentives, and policy decisions ripple through real families, real businesses, and real lives. Those experiences—along with years of studying economics, history, and Bitcoin—led him to write Demystifying Money, a story-driven guide that helps regular people finally understand how the financial system works, why it feels so broken, and what they can actually do about it. Randy is also the creator and co-host of the podcast Tales of Abundance: Why Settle for Less, where he and his co-hosts explore money, technology, health, and human potential through the lens of abundance and sovereignty. His work blends simple, no-jargon explanations with a deep belief that people are capable of far more once they actually see the game they’re playing. When he’s not writing or recording, Randy is usually talking with business owners, Bitcoiners, and seekers of all kinds—helping them move from confusion and anxiety about the future to clarity, confidence, and a plan.
