🧾 Lifetime Roadmap To Wealth
Disclaimer: Good Day, Readers. The WealthBuildingPowers blog is a financial literacy/competency blog, and it does not provide specific investment recommendations.
🧾 One Sheet to Rule Your Wallet: Lifetime Financial Plan
Start now, retire rich. Seriously—this one-sheet could be your golden ticket to millionaire status (and early beach days).
💸 The Basics
- Kill credit card debt monthly. Interest is a villain—don’t let it win.
- Save 20% of your after-tax income. Can’t hit 20% yet? Trim the fluff and work your way up.
- Max, that employer match. If they match 6%, you contribute 6%. Free money is the best kind.
- Bonus? Raise? Promotion? Celebrate by boosting your savings, not your latte budget.
📈 Invest Like a Boss
- S&P 500 ETF (like VOO). Set it, forget it, let compounding do its thing.
🛡️ Protect Your Future
- Insurance you actually need:
- Long-term disability (if health sidelines you)
- Long-term care (when aging gets real)
- Life insurance (because love = planning ahead)
🏡 Rent vs. Buy?
- Use an AI tool to determine if it’s better to rent or buy. To buy, you may need to consider relocating to an area with good employment opportunities, quality schools, and a lower cost of living. Yes, these still exist! Do the homework!
📊 Net Worth Goals
- Track it yearly (minimum). The target is for your annual increase in net worth to outpace your yearly income by age 45. Tough but achievable!
🧠 Level Up Your Money Smarts
- Financial literacy isn’t optional—it’s your superpower.
🧓 Retire Early, Find Your Joy!
- The earlier you start, the sooner you chill.
🎓 Kid Tuition?
- You’re not obligated to pay for college after age 18. If you want to help, consider establishing an education savings account.
🪙 Start a Roth IRA
Lifetime tax-free growth = road to riches!

ABOUT ME
I am a proud nerd (as my beautiful wife and daughter have told me) investment and finance blogger with an NC. State, Chemical Engineering, University Rutgers, MBA and Harvard University, Advanced Management education.
I left a corporate career because I desired to make a difference as a speaker and writer. I was blessed to be coached and mentored by strong women and men in my family and professional life. It is my time to serve and give back.
DISCLAIMER
I started my first business at ~13 years of age (a small but brilliantly created plant nursery). I am a successful investor in stocks, options, and real estate and am happy to share my finance and investment lessons. I am NOT a licensed financial advisor. Please do not construe my suggestions on this blog as recommendations for your situation. As an investor, you must establish your risk/loss tolerance. Investment in any asset involves risk, including complete loss.
Please seek your licensed CPA or fiduciary financial advisors for individual financial advice.
I write this weekly blog to make an impact by reaching an audience and demonstrating the need for financial literacy. I will help you get there.
