We made it – the finish line for our Build Wealth Like an Ant series. Last week we sung the praises of plain old stocks and bonds (aka ‘boring investments’) and this week we talk about where to put them once you get your hands on a few of those suckers.

BlogPod: Build Wealth Like an Ant, Part 4
In part 4 we sing the praises of good ol’ boring stocks and bonds. No matter how you plan to build and steward the resources that you’ve been entrusted with, we think that this investment class is worth a good look. There are not many other assets that require so little of your direct efforts in order to grow, and stocks and bonds can provide a fantastic foundation for other wealth-building efforts you might undertake later in life.

BlogPod: Don’t Worship Your Job
Lately I’ve run into more and more talk from companies who will use language of family (which makes my skin crawl), even religion, to convince employees to sacrifice everything at the altar of profits, which they will disguise with language about vision, culture, inclusivity or whatever they think will adequately mask their true intentions. Some companies, I’m convinced, will do this unintentionally because they have drunk their own Kool-Aid at the highest levels. They really believe that the company doesn’t exist to make profits but to, say, “Improve life.” Some, as you’ll see in this episode, do it with very clear (can we say evil?) intentions.

What is the most important ingredient to wealth building once you’ve been wise enough to go out an earn some money? TIME! And it doesn’t matter if you’re investing in stocks and bonds, or start a business. In fact, you starting a business with a solid business plan and two years’ worth of living expenses in the bank will terrify your competitors far more than any degree of hustle or clever social marketing that you might come up with.

BlogPod: Build Wealth Like an Ant, Part 1
Do you really want to start building “an enormous arsenal of resources”? Well you’re going to need some dry powder to get that ball rolling, and the way that most of you young bucks are going to accumulate that will be to find a J.O.B. And I’m not talking about a 6-month side hustle. The Normal and Unsexy Job is very out-of-fashion right now, but allow us to vaunt the security that health insurance and a regular paycheck can provide to a young family builder in the early season of their journey. It is not insignificant.
