About this episode

I think the burning question we all have is how to build sustainable wealth. Building wealth is great, but maintaining it and sustaining it is a whole other conversation. Look at the statistics behind lottery winners. According to the National Endowment for Financial Education, about 70 percent of people who win a lottery or receive a large windfall go bankrupt within a few years. So you've got to know the keys to building wealth, and then keeping that wealth. 

Akeiva Ellis is a financial planner and educator. She works as the Financial Education Specialist at Ballentine Partners, a financial planning firm serving high net worth individuals and families. She is also the founder of The Bemused, a financial education brand catering to young adults. In this episode, Akeiva’s sharing her 6 step MUSICAL method to building and sustaining your wealth.
