When it comes to the global economy, many have tried and failed in predicting its course. With a great many factors at play - some predictable, some not - we must first understand the relationships between its moving pieces. In this episode, Rod puts on his economist hat and we dive into five critical issues facing the economy in 2024: inflation, interest rates, growth of the economy, election year, and geopolitical tensions.

Breaking free from conventional wealth building | #136

Monday Jan 22, 2024
Although the accumulation of wealth is a good thing, it has the potential to hold you back from creating a life you can live on your own terms. Sometimes we get so focused on putting as much money away as possible for retirement, that our growth is stunted. Bringing cashflow into the mix could give you the freedom you've been looking for. In this episode, Christian and Blake compare the cashflow and accumulation methods, dig into entrepreneurship, and talk about the importance of your circle of influence.

In our last episode, we put permanent and term insurance head to head, followed by a showdown between IUL and whole life. Last week, IUL was under the spotlight. Now, it's whole life's turn. Many have questioned whole life's transparency, rigidity, value, and cost. In this episode, with the returning help of Blake Brogan, we throw all these darts and more. Will whole life survive?

What is the best way to achieve financial freedom as quickly as possible? This is the age-old question many have sought to answer with seemingly simple and actionable steps in a neatly wrapped box. The Internet is full of "million dollar" plans. Is this really what we're up against? Very rarely do these plans tell you how to actually build true wealth. In this episode, we compare and contrast the philosophies of Personal Finance Club, Nerd Wallet, Finance Superhero, Wealthfront, and Dave Ramsey to see how they stack up to the Invest with Benefits philosophy.

Wondering if real estate is the perfect fit for your investing goals? Look no further!
