INSIGHT

Wealth Narratives Mislead Younger People

Social media and college narratives inflate unrealistic expectations about success and lifestyle.
Policy and fiscal choices over decades have shifted wealth toward older generations, shrinking young people's opportunities.

ADVICE

Know Who The Tax Code Helps

Understand tax deductions favor capital owners (mortgage interest, capital gains) and that current tax policy benefits older, asset-owning generations.
Plan finances and location (e.g., state tax) accordingly to minimize effective tax drag.

ADVICE

Get Rich Slowly With Index Funds

Use forced savings: spend less than you earn and invest monthly in low-cost, diversified index funds with some international exposure.
Limit stock-picking to a small portion of assets and favor boring, slow compounding strategies.
