At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money. Each week we add new videos that provide you with access to the foremost specialists in investing, economics, the stock market, real estate and personal finance.
We offer exceptional interviews and explainer videos that dive deep into the trends driving today's markets, the economy, and your own net worth. We give you strategies for financial security, practical answers to questions like “how to grow my investments?”, and effective solutions for wealth building tailored to 'regular' investors just like you.
There’s no doubt that it's a very challenging time right now for the average investor. Above and beyond the recent economic impacts of COVID, the new era of record low interest rates, runaway US debt and US deficits, and trillions of dollars in monetary and fiscal stimulus stimulus has changed the rules of investing by dangerously distorting the Dow index, the S&P 500, and nearly all other asset prices. Can prices keep rising, or is there a painful reckoning ahead?
Let us help you prepare your portfolio just in case the future brings one or more of the following: inflation, deflation, a bull market, a bear market, a market correction, a stock market crash, a real estate bubble, a real estate crash, an economic boom, a recession, a depression, or another global financial crisis.
Put the wisdom from the money & markets experts we feature on Wealthion into action by scheduling a free consultation with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors, who will work with you to determine the right next steps for you to take in building your wealth.

[@FIREPsyChat]

Thanks for having me! That was fun!

[@Wealthion]

It was great having you. Thank you for your insights.

[@junal27]

Thank you for the video. The hair crack you have behind you on the brick wall reminds me the houses I used to visit on DFW sitting on heavy or expansive CH clays!!!! All cracked likewise when clays got soaked/dried.

[@Wealthion]

Thank you so much for watching our content. As for the bricks, it's a faux brick wall.

1 extra payment a year on a 30 year mortgage reduces the term to a 17 year mortgage?... 🤔

[@netcomrade]

Banks make money on every CC transaction. Not sure this advisor is financially literate

[@Wealthion]

That is indeed true but mostly paid by the merchant. Restaurants and some merchants are charging a fee to use a CC but we were talking about the usurious interest the CC companies charge when your bill is not paid in full each month. Far higher than the 2.5-3.5% fee to use the card.

[@netcomrade]

@@Wealthion The guest claimed banks make no money from customers that pay their bills on time. The percentage per customer/transaction may not be as high but I am sure banks make it up in volume and are far from being a 'victim' that was described by the guest.
