TRANSCRIPT



 



00:00:00 Here's the interesting thing about buying into, like the stock market. Okay? Now, admittedly–



 



00:00:05 This is what I tell my wife whenever I buy a new gun, honey, it's an asset. 



 



00:00:09 Well, and the crazy thing is that guns have historically appreciated in value. Unless they are abused, they typically hold their value or even go up. 



 



00:00:16 Interestingly enough, even ammo. You watch ammo prices continually jump, jump, jump. 



 



00:00:21 Yeah. You know when ammo prices drop though? After you shoot it. It's really not worth as much. 



 



00:00:27 Just hold on to it.



 



00:00:36 All right. It is that time of the week, the time where we complain about the inter music and get started with the True Wealth Radio Show. I'm your host, Dave Littlejohn. In studio today with me.



 



00:00:45 Matt Dickson. 



 



00:00:46 Right. Because we're like, how did we pick that one? 



 



00:00:49 Well, we didn't. So we just move on and–



 



00:00:52 Right. 



 



00:00:53 We love it. 



 



00:00:53 What song should we move toward? Can we pull the audio? I want everybody that's listening to throw, especially if you're watching this as a YouTube like thing. Go put the comments in there. We need some intro music. What should we try? Okay, so anyway, but this is not the show, this is not the True Wealth music program. We're not gonna do that. True Wealth Radio Show today. The topic of the day. Huh?



 



00:01:18 Are we talking about wealth? 



 



00:01:19 We are, no, so this is–



 



00:01:20 True wealth? Artificial wealth? 



 



00:01:22 Maybe. 



 



00:01:22 What type of wealth? 



 



00:01:23 Well, today we're gonna talk about being in the middle class and trying to break out of the middle class into the wealth class.



 



00:01:30 Okay.
