Wealth From Chaos - A Rebelious Game Plan

By Tim Gamble

TimGamble.com relaunched in April 2025 as Wealth From Chaos, a rebel economics website offering a unique survivalist’s perspective on economic news, money management, and building personal and generational wealth in a turbulent world. Previous articles laid the groundwork. This article presents the game plan.

 

Wealth From Chaos - The Game Plan 

 

1) A Solid Foundation. Your attitude and habits will make or break you. 

• Work Ethic: Expect hard work and take accountability for your life and sucess. Deliver an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay, and then some.   
• Self-Control and Discipline: Prioritize the future over instant gratification. Avoid debt and build savings, even when it’s tough.  
• Financial Literacy: No one is born understanding personal finance, and schools rarely teach it. Take responsibility for learning it yourself.  
• Financial Courage: Act decisively and seize opportunities when they arise.

• The Millionaire Next Door (Amazon link)
• Rich Dad Poor Dad (Amazon link)
• The Intelligent Investor (Amazon link)  

2) Master the Basics. You probably know these steps but may not follow them consistently. Start now.

• Live Within Your Means: Spend less than you earn.  
• Track Your Money: Create a budget or spending plan to control where your money goes.
• Pay Off Debt: Prioritize high-interest consumer debt (credit cards, car loans, payday loans).  
• Save for Major Expenses: Plan for big purchases like a car, college education, or a retirement celebration.
• Get Adequate Insurance: Life is unpredictable. Protect yourself against small and large emergencies (article link).
• Plan for Retirement: Aim to retire debt-free with cash reserves. Relying solely on Social Security is a risky bet.    
• Build an Emergency Fund: Start small if needed, but aim for at least six months of expenses. (article link). 

3) Build a Capital Fund. Beyond an emergency fund, true financial power comes from cash reserves (article link). Start building yours today with these practical steps:  

• Open a high-yield savings account and automate $50 a month, more as you can.
• Request extra hours at work or take a second job to boost savings.
• Sell unused items, like a pool table, ATV, motorcycle, or boat.
• Hold a yard sale to declutter and raise funds.
• Downsize your car to eliminate payments and redirect savings to your capital fund.
• Pay off debt and redirect those payments to your capital fund.

4) Diversify Your Income. Relying on one job is risky. Create multiple income streams with these ideas:

• Main job
• Self-employment
• Part-time weekend or evening job (e.g., pizza delivery)
• Rental income
• Investment income
• Interest income
• Passive income (e.g., royalties, affiliate sales)
• Online store (e.g., Etsy, eBay)
• Reselling 
• Consulting services 
• Content creation (e.g., Patreon, YouTube)

5) Diversify Your Investments. “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” Diversification is challenging with limited resources, but as your wealth grows, spread your investments across assets. Learn more in my article on The Rothschild Asset Allocation Model (article link).

 

6) Exploit the Chaos. Chaos brings disaster, but also opportunity. During the Great Depression, fortunes were lost, and fortunes were made (article link). The same thing happened during the more recent Great Recession (article link). Now, we’re in an era of global disruption across economic, technological, and cultural systems. Key factors include:

• AI and High-Tech Civilization: Job losses and wealth concentration.
• Technocracy and Authoritarian Control: Increased surveillance and centralized power.
• Loss of Privacy and Freedoms: tracking and overreach by both government and corporations.
• Decline of the West: Massive debt, ideological changes and population shifts in America and Europe.
• Rise of the East: China’s dominance and Asia’s growth.  
• Related Chaos: inflation, supply chain failures, and social-political unrest.   

Identify the flashpoints caused by this chaos. Protect your family and finances from these threats while capitalizing on the opportunities they create to build personal and generational wealth. That’s the mission of Wealth From Chaos.
