Your home and your business. For people like us, these are the wealth builders.
Most financial advice is written for people with 401(k)s and stock portfolios. That is not us. People in the trades build wealth through two assets: a home they own and maintain, and a business they build correctly.
Your home appreciates while you live in it. The trades give you a unique advantage — you can improve it with your own labor at material cost. Your business, built with systems and reputation, becomes an asset with value independent of your daily labor.
Every financial decision filters through one question: does this strengthen my two assets or weaken them?
