I used to scoff at Wall Street, believing the stock market was the last place to build real, life-changing wealth. I leaned exclusively on real estate, private businesses—even Bitcoin—to grow my net worth.

But times change. I’ve softened my stance on equities and now see a place for stocks in my portfolio—just not the way most people do. I think of them as cash-flowing assets, much like real estate, following the approach of Andy Tanner, Robert Kiyosaki’s “Rich Dad” stock advisor.

Over the past two weeks, I decided to put Andy’s strategy to the test by selling covered puts on companies I wouldn’t mind owning. In that short span, I’ve already pocketed a 4% return. Sure, it could be beginner’s luck—or it might be the rich option premiums on names like Tesla and MicroStrategy—but I’m off to a promising start.

Can I realistically expect 80–100% annualized returns? Probably not, especially once I’m assigned and actually own some of these shares. But those who follow Andy’s more conservative, textbook version of the strategy often cite annualized returns of 25%—and that’s what I’m aiming to learn.

So I’m enrolling in his next Cash Flow Academy course to master the details. The takeaway? Even an old dog like me can learn new tricks, so long as he keeps an open mind.

Don’t worry—I’m still a real estate guy at heart. But I appreciate having some liquid, income-producing positions, and this feels like a smart way to do it. If you’ve got a retirement account that could use a boost, you might find this approach especially appealing.

To hear why I’ve done a complete 180 on stocks, tune into this week’s episode of the Wealth Formula Podcast, where I sit down with the cash-flowing-stocks guru himself, Andy Tanner.
