Hi Reader,
Struggling with the cost of living? Most everyone is â 4 out of 5 consumers say theyâve changed their spending habits due to inflation.
Unhappy at work? Join the club â in August, workforce happiness reached its lowest point since the height of the pandemic.
Think youâre not being paid fairly? Youâre not â average real wages have grown by just 0.7% annually over the half-century beginning in February 1973.
Struggling with debt? Itâs not just you â credit card debt alone crossed the $1 trillion mark for the first time in August.
Getting an ROI on that college education? Nope â a recent study quantified the wealth premium â all assets + all debts â of undergraduates and post-graduates and shows the wealth premium is just a bit more than their high school graduate peers born in the same decade and virtually non-existent for those with post-graduate degrees.
Tired of financial resources being too bro and âstraightâ? Youâre not alone â 55% of respondents to 2023 The Motley Fool/Debt Free Guys LGBTQ+ Money Study say theyâve been discriminated against by someone in financial services, up from 48% in 2022.
Itâs no wonder people are discouraged.
47% of Americans say it would take a miracle to reach retirement security â up from 40% just 2 years ago.
But what if . . .
What if your cash flow covered your living expenses?
What if you had a million dollars and felt like a million dollars?
What if this ânew economyâ requires a new way of making a living so that you can actually live life?
These are just some reasons why weâve been working feverishly over the last several months (years actually) on a new solution for this new economy â documenting and systematizing whatâs worked for us and those weâve coached so that even more people have a model to follow.
Weâve helped hundreds of people pay off millions in debt . . .
Weâve interviewed hundreds of personal finance pros, thought leaders and everyday folks about personal finance and their personal finance stories â the good, the bad and the ugly . . .
Weâve conducted numerous anecdotal and professional money studies . . .
Weâve vetted our strategies and ideas on national television, radio and major media . . .
all to create the Wealth Builder's Pyramid.
This isnât a miracle â itâs a plan; itâs a community.

Hi Reader, Retirement advice built for a life you didnât live? No, thanks. Traditional retirement paths werenât designed with LGBTQ+ workers or entrepreneurs in mindâand the data shows that. When we finally sat down to look at our finances, we were staring at $51,000 in credit card debtâand not much saved for retirement. Two professionals living in downtown Denver, trying to keep up appearances while quietly drowning. Sound familiar? We didnât see ourselves in mainstream financial advice. It...
