Are Millennials Really Falling Behind in Building Wealth? Part 2: The Narratives that are Redefining Wealth for a New Generation'

Episode Summary

In this episode we drill down to talk through some of the differences in values between Boomers /Gen X and the millennial generations regarding wealth and investing. Is it truly possible for a millennial to catch up financially and start an investment portfolio? We believe they can but it requires some planning and some destruction of myths around the typical definitions of wealth.

Civil Rights 

There is a trail of information that can be trusted but it lies in the relationship between the above arenas. If you can familiarize yourself with how these affect US Finance,  the following truths can help you understand the game being played and distill your plan:

The 7 Truths of U.S. Finance:

• There will always be a marketplace (for the buyer, seller and speculator).
• There will always be an arbitrage
• There will always be speculators and market makers that will show you where the arbitrage exists.  Their presence will also affect volatility and price action.
• Some people will always cheat. Not all, but some.
• Small timeframes take the blame /credit for moves in the market.
• People are people.  Human nature hasn't changed in 800 years of recorded financial history.
• The Herd consumes...productivity exists outside of the herd.

Final Points:

• You cant play the game and beat the game by making moral judgements against the game or the people.  Don't dismiss the information because of its origin...but instead, become a learner.
• Hate debt.... every kind and all kinds of it.  Once you have a healthy hatred of it, you can then decide which debt you will keep to move you forward.
• Understand the $/ Currency relationship
• Self Determination is a moral endeavor - God has set you free... now go live free and free others to do the same.  Freeing people, adding margin and value to someones life is a Holy endeavor.
