Winning always is at marriage, at taking care of your body, building a business, you know, money, no one accidentally gets wealthy." - Dave RamseyDrawing from decades of studying millionaires and personal experience with financial failure, Dave Ramsey cuts through the noise of get-rich-quick schemes dominating social media. Through candid conversation, he reveals how our brain's natural desire for efficiency often leads us astray, pushing us toward flashy investments and shortcuts instead of proven wealth-building principles. Ramsey shares how his own early real estate ventures crashed when he tried to take shortcuts, teaching him valuable lessons about sustainable wealth creation.The financial expert unpacks five time-tested principles for building lasting wealth, backed by North America's largest millionaire study conducted by his team. His research reveals a surprisingly simple pattern: most first-time millionaires achieve their wealth through a combination of paid-off homes and consistent 401(k) or Roth IRA investments in quality mutual funds. Ramsey emphasizes that true financial freedom comes not from crypto or NFTs, but from fundamental practices like living below your means, following a written budget, and staying debt-free.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter
