Tweetables:

 “I see so many people are going to get hurt because they've bought into this lie that investing in Wall Street is the way to financial freedom.”

“What your employer tells you to do with the 401(k) to me, is not really investing.”

“If you deep dive into what most people are investing in, many people don't own a single investment. Their entire portfolio is a speculation. And that's scary.”

“Speculation is literally gambling. You put your money on the table and hope you win something back – you could crap out, you could lose everything.”

“Estate planning is an important part of your strategic plans.”

“Whatever you want to do, that's up to you. Just know what you're doing. Know the pros and cons of what you're doing.”

“Why not pull your money out of that rig system and set up your own retirement plan?”

“Investing strategically is a team sport. You have to have estate planning in place, you have to have asset protection planning in place.”

“Strategic investing is the domain of experts. These are the domains of people that do this all day, every day.”

“People tend to be very gracious if you're sincere, and not abusive with your requests on their time.”
