brought to you by the every dollar app start budgeting for free today today's question of the

days from adam in florida i'm a new listener and i've got a burning question is there any way to

leverage debt and stay aligned with your methods no we tell people not to borrow money i mean you

don't listen to show but about 30 seconds to figure that one out, dude.

It seems to me as a WT employee that the only way to attain outsized financial freedom would

be to reach C-level suite, corporate America, oh, brother, or become wildly successful

salespeople, salesperson, oh, brother.

I recognize that there is much more to life than acquiring wealth, but if there was ever a time to take a shot at entrepreneurship through acquisition or buying short-term, long-term rental properties, that be now.

You sound like a TikTok ad, dude.

I would also prefer to be my own boss than an officer of a large company.

Okay.

So you don't want to work for a large company. And, but, but here's the thing.

You have created a world in your mind that says that the only way to become wealthy is go borrow

a bunch of money and buy real estate other than do things that you don't want to do, which is be a

C-suite or whatever. The truth is that C-sweeters don't become that wealthy that often anyway.

So that's a misnomer.

A high percentage of small business owners build wealth if they survive in business.

The number of people that borrow money to buy real estate and 10 years later are not bankrupt is almost zero.

So I'll give you an example, Adam.

When I was in my 20s, I did this.

You obviously have not heard the story.

So I got a degree in real estate. I grew up in a real estate household.
