The Total Wealth Academy Podcast

Welcome back to the show! In this episode, Steve is doing his yearly check-in with you, the listener. His question is a simple one, but most find it extremely uncomfortable to answer: Are you all in a better financial position than you were when you made your resolutions for 2023? Did you shave down your credit card debt, or did you accrue more for the year? Did you pay off your vehicle, or did you upgrade to the newest model? Most importantly, though, did you build that second string of income this year, or did the 9 to 5 grind keep you in place? Tune in and get ready to look at your situation calmly and honestly. Just because 2023 is coming to a close doesn't mean you have to give up on your dream life!
