    Please review us on iTunes so others can find us! Visit the website to learn more. Thank you for sharing the podcast with others.

    In this episode you will learn about wisdom and wealth in 2022:

    1. Grow wealthy–Why do you need money?

    2. Grow wealthy by investing in assets. Three properties and classifications of assets.

    3. Grow wealthy by investing in assets. The difference between income from a job and alternative income.

    4. Grow wealthy by investing in assets. 

    Our expert, Kevin Baker, defines an asset as something that, in the future, can generate cash flow for you. Assets make money. Anything that takes money out of your pocket is a liability.  Kevin is a former CFO who managed the investments of a 900 yearol non-profit.  He has studied the masters of value investing inlcuding Warren Buffet, Seth Klarman’s “Margin of Safety” (which he owns), Bruce Greenwald, Christoper Brown, and others.

    Wealth Scale





    Novice/Poor – You’re poor if you have a lot of liabilities and need to keep working to maintain your lifestyle. People can be poor even if they have great income. Unfortunately, most Americans are stuck here most of their lives.





    Amateur  – You have been investing for a while and own some good assets. If the value of your good assets is more than 50% of your net worth, then you’re firmly in this class.





    Financial Independence – This should be the goal for everyone. Once the income from good assets, aka passive income, surpasses your expense, you can retire and live life the way you want.





    Generational Wealth – This is beyond financial independence. You have plenty of income from your investment to keep reinvesting. This way your wealth will keep growing and you can pass it on to the kids. That’s generational wealth.
