Too many people are drowning in debt, living paycheck to paycheck, and making major life decisions without a solid understanding of money. And it’s not their fault — most schools don’t teach personal finance, and many parents were never taught either.

Starting out, starting over, or setting an example — it all begins with making informed choices, understanding your money, and building a future you can count on.

Building wealth doesn’t require luck — it requires financial literacy, intentional action, and assets that work for you, like real estate and passive income streams.
