How Contractors Can Build Real Wealth: The Money Rules Every Tradesperson Must Learn

Most contractors know how to work hard, make money, and support their families, but very few know how to actually use money as a tool to build wealth, freedom, and long-term stability.

In this episode of Construction Champions, Ron Nussbaum talks with Ron Beckner, a third-generation pipe fitter, Navy veteran, and financial educator who helps working-class Americans understand money in a simple, practical, real-world way.

Ron breaks down why so many tradespeople live paycheck to paycheck, how to build a financial foundation even if you feel behind, and why creating a “financial team” is not just for the ultra-rich. He explains the power of budgeting, building buckets of money, understanding taxes, protecting your future, and passing on a real legacy to your family.

Whether you're a contractor, tradesperson, business owner, or union member, this episode will help you take control of your money, stop feeling overwhelmed, and start building a future you are proud of.
