Choo! Choo! That’s the sound of the money train leaving the station and Trent Hamm is on board! I’ve been in Asia this week but I’m catching up to the PF Blog world and caught up on Trent’s new book deal and radio tour.

I know you blokes won’t believe me but when the Simple Dollar blog started, I had drafted a post detailing how I thought The Simple Dollar author would become the first rags to riches PF Blog. I never got around to finishing that post and I wrote it because Trent was receiving many accolades from his peers in the PF Blog community early on as his site got started.

I occasionally will read an article because Trent writes so well. Don’t get me wrong, I cringe at most of the theory and material he posts as I am a die hard capitalist but it’s a great blog to read because articles are well researched and edited and the masses eat it up!

It’s beginning quite obvious to see that Trent will become the new Dave Ramsey. People will eat up his book and radio shows and I’m sure a book signing tour will soon follow.

It’s paradoxically ironic that Trent will likely become a millionaire in a few years not because he practices what he preaches: making own soap, turning newspaper into toilet paper and such but because he’s become a savvy capitalist.

Of course if history is any indication, once one takes a taste of the good life it will be hard to turn back. Just to give you an example, with the first book tour will come many frequent flier miles then upgrades to first class. The first time you sit in first class it’s a novelty but then you’re amazed at how freely the champagne flows. You’re seduced by the flight attendants nonchalance way of asking you if you’d like lobster bisque or salmon appetizer before the main course. You’ll be dazzled by the steak sizzle during dinner accompanied by the most delicious of wines and then completed with the most scrumptious desert. You’ll peer back at steerage and smirk and giggle as the flight attendants toss pretzels and peanuts to the coach passengers and wonder how you ever got along without business/first class travel.

I could write a series of posts about losing one’s money innocence but those are for another day. Naturally, many things will change in the future and I hope Trent’s blog continues on because I think I’ll be reading more and more as Trent becomes wealthier and wealthier. Choo! Choo! That’s the sound of the money train, welcome on board Trent!
