Who wants to be a Millionaire? (Just released 02/21)
In his Financial Wellness presentation, Tom shares simple concepts that can help anyone become financially independent. Not only can people become very wealthy using these tips, research shows they will also likely be much happier and even live longer! Most people think you have to make a lot of money to become wealthy, Tom shows how it is NOT how much you make that counts, it’s how much you keep. Spending less than you earn, investing in appreciating assets, having an emergency fund and protecting your blind side with insurance products can allow nearly everyone to become financially successful. Tom shows how poor planning, procrastination, credit card debt, divorce and a failure to understand the Opportunity Costs of purchases doom many people to a life of financial stress and unhappiness. This is a presentation you don’t want to miss!
