I didn't buy my first property until I was 34. Today I own over 10,000 units and run a company with 300+ employees. But here's what most people get wrong about building wealth: They don't fail because they're reckless. They fail because they drift. They work hard. Save.…

Property tax is just a tax on unrealized gains and I'm tired of pretending it's not. You buy a house for $300k. Years later, market goes up, assessor says it's worth $600k now. Boom—your tax bill jumps, even though you haven't sold a damn thing, pulled equity, or seen a dime of…


Yes. Real productivity is the key. I spoke about this at last year's Best Ever conference. youtu.be/QOVu1EHqtng?si…

Inflation analog: It is 1975, and either Trump pulls this off or we parallel Nixon right into Carter and stagflation.

“Books are the closest you will ever come to finding cheat codes for real life. You can access the entire learnings of someone else’s career in a few hours.” — @tobi

Tobi: If you don't read books, you live a lifetime. If you read books, you live a thousand, right? David: I'm going to interrupt you real quick because I took notes on this podcast six years ago. This is the first time I came across you and you said something that I absolutely…



Yes. This is why most equity (unrealized gains) is fake and fragile. I think investors today are better served to focus on productivity (rents, operating profits) generated by Main Street assets.

Many are understandably confused because today’s stock market valuations don’t make financial sense. But what they overlook is that these valuations do make political sense — and political concerns will continue to trump fundamentals as long as politicians control the money…

Government exists to protect life, liberty, and property—not to take wealth from some and give to others Federal funding for the National Endowment for Democracy doesn’t protect life, liberty, and property It undermines those things

“Bastiat proves beyond all doubt that the proper function of government is to protect the lives, liberty, and property of its citizens, but not to provide for them.” “For in order to provide for some, first it must take from others, becoming the mechanism for legalized plunder.”



It seems to me this innate need is put inside man by his Creator. Where else would it come from? Why else would we need it? So then the best way to determine what your quest should be is to seek for and ask the Creator. A great way to start a new year IMO.

Something society gets wrong that I believe with my entire being: a man must have a quest

Members of Congress pretending to do something.

$20 was equal to 1 oz of gold in 1913. The "dollar" wasn't money, gold was (and is), it was simply a unit of measure of gold ... 1/20th of an ounce. Today, it is 1/4,500th. That's a 99.6 percent loss.

Today in American History: December 23rd, 1913 President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act, establishing the Federal Reserve System to stabilize the U.S. banking and monetary system. Since then, the dollar has lost 97% of its purchasing power.

Yes. And what led to the Fed?

Scott Bessent on the Federal Reserve: "QE led to a two-tier economy, where either you were an asset holder or you were left behind. I called the Fed the ‘engine of inequality’."

Imagine living in America before any income or payroll taxes. Everything you earned you kept. You didn’t have to track every dollar, keep books, or hire lawyers and accountants to comply. You weren’t accountable to the government for your labor. You owned it. You were truly free.

The happiest people seek alignment in life. If the way you live aligns with your values and principles, you are living a happy life. If the way you live contradicts your values, you live a miserable life. Seek alignment, and you'll experience fulfillment.


Decided to attend the Charlie Kirk memorial in Phoenix. The turnout is beyond belief.
