Lots of people tend to overhype the importance of net worth. Plenty of it has to do with an old school of thought, but it’s easy to get tricked into believing it.

After all, social media is full of people flaunting their extravagant lifestyles. And when your feed is full of people flashing wads of cash at you and showing off their fancy cars, it’s only natural to start thinking it’s synonymous with wealth.
And it isn’t. Not by a long shot.
You can even see examples of it in the real estate industry, with “coaches” who are doing everything they can to sustain this illusion of wealth.
But high net worth doesn’t imply long-term financial success.
If you’re spending more than you’re bringing in, and if the way you’re bringing it in is limited to the now, it’s only a matter of time when things start going sideways.
You can find proof of this concept in shocking, real-life stories from athletes and celebrities who were reeling in millions, only to end up broke with nowhere to go.
Your net worth is only good for as long as it lasts you.

To us, wealth is about security and controlling our own financial fate.
For this episode, we’re going to dive deeper into the concept of wealth and prove why replacing your income is the only real way of attaining it.
The great thing about it is, regardless of where you are in life, there’s always a way of getting on the right track.
