Life can change fast - if you are in a position now to take the steps to start building wealth, I would personally take full advantage.

When you are truly wealthy, then I think it's a personal choice of whether you want to spend the money, time, and effort to reduce taxes further.

The saying "it is about the journey not the destination" is so true and can only be experienced once you personally experience achieving a large goal.What I have found works for me is to work on my internal / emotional happiness and not just my bank account.We were literally talking about this last night with world famous people who are very wealthy.

Does that make you wealthy?

I have thought about tax liens as a means of increasing wealth. I

Real estate will make you wealthy over time but it’s not a get quick rich game.

@Linden HausmannI wouldn’t worry as much about cash flow as you can make anything cash flow on paper but build wealth is long term hold and appreciationA $2000/month rent and $1700 p&i will not cash flow after taxes and pm fees etc.

That's for people with higher education that come from wealthy backgrounds. 

The "financial services" available to the wealthy are not the same as those with small accounts.As for the investing aspect, honestly, I do not think the increased costs are worth it. 

We're one of the fastest growing cities, We have one of the youngest populations of wealthy and educated people and our high paying Bio & Tech fields (new jobs/careers created) are set to explode over the next decade.
