“People with financial intelligence can change the world for better.’- Jake Stenziano On this episode, Jake and Gino are discuss the contrast between U.S. and European economic systems. They share their list of pros and cons of both, and what to consider when choosing one of them to live in. When looking at traditional family culture, and enriched values through food and faith, Europe tops the list of places to live and is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. However, the downside includes big factors such as disorganized laws regarding citizens’ rights, low economic growth rates, and less-effective financial systems.  There seem to be more avenues to make money in the United States, through entrepreneurship. But- when comparing pros and cons- the U.S. is a far more expensive economy to live in, with high tax rates challenging your savings, investments, innovation and allocation of resources in various ways. What is important, is that you have the opportunity and freedom of choice. This freedom of choice however comes with the responsibility of being financially intelligent. We cannot decide properly for our futures without being educated on these important economic systems, and what each can mean for you and your family.  Key Insights: 00:00 Introduction 02:00 Pros of living in Europe, specifically Italy- family, faith, food and tradition  08:33 Living in America: It’s about living proactively with responsibility in U.S. 09:20 Power of choosing the place to live in, especially for Real Estate Investors 11:42 What economic factors can hurts the lower-to-middle class? 15:09 Caution: Tricky property rights that can lead to no rights to property you inherit 19:30 Wrap-up   We invite you to continue expanding your financial knowledge by starting a conversation on long-term personal financial engineering with our Team at www.100year.com Bonus resources: DOWNLOAD our Dual Asset Strategy eBook and learn how YOU can leverage cash value life insurance to advance your financial plan: https://100yearrei.com/ebook-download/  SCHEDULE A Call: https://100yearrei.com/callnow/  About The 100 Year Real Estate Investor         The Whole Life Insurance Policies offered by the 100 Year Real Estate Investor are specially-designed.
