What is Income Over Wealth?

Retirement is an income problem, not a net-worth problem. Dan Wilson is a real estate investor, not a financial advisor. He buys and rents houses in Ohio, funds them with private money instead of bank loans, and built enough income from real estate to leave the Air Force. Twice a week, in about fifteen minutes, he works out how to replace a paycheck in retirement: where monthly income actually comes from, what each source costs you in risk, and how private lending works — including what to demand from any borrower. Every episode is also a video on YouTube. Educational only — not financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and not an offer or solicitation of any investment.
