Wealth to me means an abundance and balance in life.Not just in dollars but also health wise, spiritually, relationship wise, philanthropy.At the end of all you can't take it with you but you can look back at your body of work and how you impacted lives and tried to make the world a better place and helped your family on a path to their goals and dreams moving forward.People need to look at all aspects of their lives as investments.

Knowing how to manage is critical for succeeding in buy and hold.AOA is great, and you can become a member and use them to run credit and background checks for cheap.

If everyone cheated a bank out of $100 it threatens the banking system and federal insurance claims.If you are dealing with a bank you better be shooting straight, they clearly have the upper hand from a legal aspect.

Love the live Q/A aspect of it
