Three-Step Wealth Ladder
- Get out of consumer and high-interest debt and balance a budget before investing.
- Build liquidity with 401(k), IRA, high-yield savings, and brokerage accounts next.

- Moving from 4–6% public returns to 12–30% private returns multiplies long-term outcomes.
Don't Rush To Kill Low-Rate Mortgage Debt
- Eliminate bad debt like credit cards and high-rate personal loans immediately.
