“Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.”
The Game Of Money
You are already playing the game of money.
Every financial decision you make is a move.
Where you live.
What you spend.
What you save.
What you own.
Over time, those moves compound into a direction—toward either increasing freedom or increasing obligation.
Yet most people never learn the rules of the system shaping their financial lives.
In The Game of Money, entrepreneur and financial thinker Peri Scott reveals the simple but powerful mechanics behind wealth creation in a capitalist society.
This is not a book about stock tips or complicated financial strategies.
It is about understanding the structure beneath money itself.
Inside, you will discover:
• Why wealth is not about income—but about retained value
• The small mathematical principle that separates impossible from possible
• How assets quietly transform income into long-term freedom
• Why time and discipline—not talent—create financial sovereignty
• The simple system that allows ordinary people to build extraordinary financial stability
Wealth is not magic.
It is a game with rules.
And once you understand them, everything changes.

The GAP
Financial freedom doesn’t begin with investing.
It begins with something far simpler.
The GAP.
In The GAP, Peri Scott introduces one of the most powerful concepts in personal finance: the difference between what you earn and what you spend determines your financial future.
If there is no gap, there is no progress.
This book explains how to create and protect that gap—and how it becomes the foundation for building lasting wealth.
While many financial books focus on complex strategies, Scott focuses on the underlying structure that makes those strategies possible. Without a financial margin, no investment plan, no matter how sophisticated, can succeed.
Through practical advice and philosophical insight, The GAP explores:
• Why budgeting is not about restriction but about control
• How awareness of spending habits changes financial behavior
• The psychological forces that drive poor money decisions
• How disciplined financial habits create long-term freedom
• Why understanding the “why” behind money is more important than any tactic
Scott breaks down the flow of money in everyday life and shows how small changes in behavior can produce dramatic results over time.
Once you consistently create a gap between income and spending, something powerful happens: options appear. Investments become possible. Opportunities multiply. Financial stress begins to fade.
But this transformation requires more than math. It requires a change in mindset.
The GAP helps readers understand not only what to do with their money, but why those choices matter.
The message is both simple and challenging: financial freedom is not the result of luck or privilege. It is the result of intentional habits repeated over time.
Create the gap.
Protect the gap.
Use the gap.
And you will discover that wealth is far more attainable than you ever imagined.

BYOB: Be Your Own Bank
What if you could stop asking banks for permission to use money?
What if you could become the one who makes the rules?
In BYOB – Be Your Own Bank, Peri Scott introduces a powerful idea: the financial system is not reserved for the wealthy. The same mechanisms used by banks, real estate investors, and institutions can be understood—and applied—by ordinary people who are willing to learn how money actually works.
This book presents a simple but transformative concept: building your own financial “machine.” Instead of allowing money to pass through your life unnoticed, you can design a system that controls where money flows, how it grows, and how it can be used again and again to build wealth.
Through clear explanations and real-world examples, Scott explores ideas such as:
• Why cash flow is more powerful than saving alone
• How leverage and margin accounts can be used strategically
• The role of dividend-producing investments in generating passive income
• How to structure a system that allows you to borrow from yourself while your money continues working
The philosophy behind the system is refreshingly simple: wealth is not about complicated strategies or lucky breaks. It is about structure, discipline, and control.
You don’t need millions of dollars to start thinking like the wealthy. You need a framework.
BYOB – Be Your Own Bank shows how to create that framework.
This book is not about speculation or shortcuts. It is about understanding the mechanics of money and using those mechanics intentionally to build financial independence over time.
Whether your goal is early retirement, additional income, or simply greater financial control, this book will challenge how you think about money and reveal possibilities you may never have considered.
Because once you understand the system, you stop playing by someone else’s rules.
You start writing your own.

Invest In Yourself
Most people spend their entire lives working for money.
Very few learn how to make money work for them.
In Invest in Yourself, Peri Scott expands on the ideas introduced in his first book and takes readers deeper into the principles behind financial independence. This book is about more than investing—it is about changing the way you think about money, opportunity, and your own potential.
Scott argues that financial freedom is not reserved for the wealthy or the privileged. It is available to anyone willing to understand the principles that govern money and apply them consistently over time.
The problem is simple: most people were never taught how.
Through clear explanations and thoughtful challenges to conventional thinking, Invest in Yourself explores:
• Why financial education is often missing from our lives
• How to develop the mindset required for long-term wealth
• The role of dividend investing in building passive income
• How to evaluate investment opportunities with clarity and discipline
• Why personal responsibility and self-education are the most powerful financial tools you have
Rather than offering complicated financial strategies, Scott focuses on the underlying mechanics that drive wealth creation. Once you understand the principles, the path forward becomes far less mysterious.
This book encourages readers to think differently—to question assumptions about work, security, and traditional financial advice. It introduces a new perspective: that each person has the ability to design a financial system that serves their life, rather than spending decades serving someone else’s.
Invest in Yourself is both a practical guide and a philosophical exploration of what it means to take control of your financial future.
Because the most powerful investment you will ever make is not in stocks, real estate, or business.
It is in your own understanding.

We Can Save The World..but there’s no money in it
Our economic system shapes nearly every aspect of our lives.
But very few people ever stop to question how it actually works.
In We Can Save The World (But There’s No Money In It), Peri Scott takes readers on a thought-provoking journey into the philosophy of money, capitalism, and the economic structures that define modern society.
After years of studying personal finance and teaching people how to succeed within the current system, Scott began asking a deeper question:
What if the system itself needs improvement?
This book explores the strengths and weaknesses of capitalism, not as a political argument, but as a thoughtful examination of the incentives that drive human behavior.
Along the way, Scott investigates ideas such as:
• Why wealth and poverty often coexist in a world of abundance
• How economic systems shape human values and priorities
• The tension between competition and cooperation in society
• Why caring work—such as raising children or supporting communities—often goes undervalued
• Whether a more balanced economic model is possible
Drawing from history, economics, sociology, and philosophy, Scott challenges readers to reconsider assumptions that are often taken for granted.
The goal is not to reject capitalism, but to understand it more deeply—and explore how it might evolve into something that benefits more people.
This book invites readers to step outside the everyday pressures of earning and spending and examine the bigger picture.
How did we build the world we live in?
Why does it function the way it does?
And most importantly—can we make it better?
We Can Save The World (But There’s No Money In It) is an exploration of ideas that encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and the possibility that the systems we live inside are not fixed.
They are human creations.
And humans can change them.

What I Wish I Knew About Money
What would your life look like if you had understood money from the very beginning?
In What I Wish I Knew About Money, Peri Scott shares the financial lessons he wishes he had learned when he first entered adulthood. This book is a practical roadmap for anyone who wants to avoid years of confusion, frustration, and trial-and-error when it comes to money.
Most of us grow up with almost no financial education. We are taught how to work, how to study, and how to follow instructions—but rarely how money actually functions in the real world.
The result is predictable: people spend decades trying to figure out the rules of a system they were never taught to understand.
This book changes that.
Through clear explanations and relatable examples, Scott introduces readers to the foundational principles that shape financial success. These ideas are not complicated, but they are powerful when applied consistently.
Inside, you’ll learn:
• The single most important rule that underlies all wealth-building
• Why discipline and delayed gratification are essential financial tools
• How long-term thinking creates opportunity that short-term decisions destroy
• Why most people misunderstand how wealth is actually created
• The habits and behaviors that quietly separate those who build wealth from those who struggle financially
Rather than promising quick riches, Scott focuses on something far more valuable: clarity.
When you understand the fundamental rules of money, you stop reacting to financial problems and start designing a better future intentionally.
This book is for anyone who has ever wondered why financial success seems so elusive—or why it appears so effortless for others.
The truth is simple: the rules exist.
Most people just never learn them.
What I Wish I Knew About Money gives you those rules, so you can start making better decisions today—and for the rest of your life.
