The Wealth Ladder With Nick Maggiulli
Today we're joined by Nick Maggiulli, Chief Operating Officer for Ritholtz Wealth Management LLC, to discuss his recently released book, The Wealth Ladder: Proven Strategies for Every Step of Your Financial Life.
The book is not a get-rich-quick scheme or a one-size-fits-all solution to your money problems. It’s a new philosophy for thinking about money altogether, and it breaks wealth into six distinct levels, each demanding its own strategy. What works at Level 1 won’t cut it at Level 6, and vice versa.
