Six Wealth Destroyers and How to Avoid Them Finance Lab

    • Investing

In this episode of Finance Lab, Lesley Batson, Founder and Chief Wealth Strategist at Rebel Rock Wealth, a wealth strategy firm for independent thinkers, discusses how six fundamental financial considerations can potentially destroy wealth and how to avoid them.
The first two considerations may surprise you – Lesley’s method, highlighted in her writings and practice, entreats investors to first look inward and consider their knowledge and mindset and to reflect on all aspects of personal health. Their discussion continues with understanding impact of taxes, fees and inflation. Critical fee considerations that the average investor generally does not think about are further examined by Lesley and Cory. This conversation provokes investors to consider multiple wealth accumulation and deterioration factors that may have not been previously examined.
