One of the most fundamental decisions you can make in life is to marry or not to marry. If you marry, your life, your budget, and your career will look dramatically different than a peer who remains unmarried. Marriage can be one of the biggest blessings to your life, resulting in greater happiness, better health, a higher income, and more wealth. Marriage can also be one of the greatest curses you can experience and it can devastate your emotional state, your physical health, your career, and y...

One of the most effective things you can do when trying to figure out how to build wealth is to find ways to save big money. Fast. And since Americans collectively spend more on taxes than housing, food, and clothing—combined—you should start by trying to save money on taxes. Today, I give you my case for why you should consider moving to a No-Income-Tax state. Enjoy! Joshua

Today, we continue our Asset Protection Planning series with a deep look at the Personal Property Exemptions. I've never heard asset protection planners give much attention to the Personal Property Exemptions. But that's understandable to me. When dealing with the mega-wealthy, it's hard to see how the Personal Property Exemptions make any difference in terms of financial planning. But, for a "mere mortal," I think there's a really good argument that the personal property exemptions can be reall...

Yesterday, I released to you a discussion on the Federal Debt in the United States. That show should be your introduction to this problem. But in thinking about it, I felt like it was incomplete. I wanted to present some useful materials, in audio format, for listeners who don't have a firm background in the fundamentals of the problem. So I decided to go in-depth to try to lay out the problem very clearly. This show is deep and difficult. It holds quite a bit of my reading to you--but also some...

We face a massive problem in the United States right now. Put simply: We are borrowing more money than ever before. There's no plan for us to borrow less money in the future. There's [almost] no mathematically sound plan that can be created to have us borrow less money in the future. No major, national politician is loudly, consistently talking about how we can spend/borrow less money. Rather, there are loud, vigorous, and strengthening forces moving in the direction of borrowing even more money...
