  Discover all of the podcasts in our network, search for specific episodes, get the Optimal Living Daily workbook, and learn more at: OLDPodcast.com.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://ofdollarsanddata.com/how-do-the-wealthy-invest/ Quotes to ponder: "Try not to forget that the wealthiest 10% of Americans own nearly 90% of all U.S. stocks!" “Not all investing is about money, sometimes it’s about status too.” “There are many ways to preserve and grow your wealth. The hard part is finding what works best for you.” Episode references: Michael Kitces: https://www.kitces.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
