Wealthy After 40: Retirement Planning and Budgeting for Gen X · Ep 109 | The Checkers and Chess of Wealth Building with Freddie Rappina · 14 Mar 2025 podcast

You can be happy.

So I'm not saying checkers is wrong.

I want to be very clear on that with your audience.

I'm just saying it's not chess.

And chess is not just saving money, but also using leverage, taking out loans, using those loans to buy cash flowing assets such as real estate, such as businesses, using good tax strategies and minimize taxes.

That's chess.

And anybody can play either game.

You might have to

or may want to play checkers first and get yourself a good foothold.

But if you have the mindset, hey, I'm going to move over to, then people generally will.

But it's just a totally different way of understanding finance.

It's a mindset shift.

That is the biggest thing.

There's a lot of chess flies in the face of checkers, which is for a lot of people hard to jump over.

So the biggest separator between the two games, in my opinion, is your attitude towards debt.

If you're playing checkers, you want to be the hell out of debt.

and have everything paid off and all that.

If you're playing chess, you want to be in as much debt as possible.

But when I'm using debt in this context, I'm not talking about running your credit card up at Walmart or Target.

I'm talking about using debt correctly to purchase income-producing assets that's going to advance your wealth.
