4 Secrets of the Truly Wealthy, According to Dave Ramsey
4 Secrets of the Truly Wealthy, According to Dave Ramsey

One of Dave Ramsey’s most consistent pieces of financial advice is that wealth-building isn’t necessarily tied to how much money you make, but rather how you manage what you have. Many people assume that earning a higher income automatically leads to wealth, but Ramsey points out that a disciplined approach to spending and saving is far more important.
Truly wealthy people live below their means and when they do spend money, they don’t advertise it. Essentially, saving consistently is more important than the size of your paycheck or what you splurge on. Known for his no-nonsense approach to personal finance, Ramsey has helped millions of people get out of debt and take control of their financial futures. But what separates those who simply earn a good living from the truly wealthy?

America’s ballooning debt burden has become impossible to ignore — and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who took a stab at tackling government waste earlier this year, is sounding the alarm again.
On a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, Musk outlined what he believes is — and isn’t — possible when it comes to fixing the U.S. national debt crisis. “You can make it directionally better, but ultimately you can't fully fix the system,” Musk said. “Unless you could go super draconian — like Genghis Khan level on cutting waste and fraud — which you can't really do in an aspirationally democratic country, then there's no way to solve the debt crisis.” (1)

Keeping too much cash in your bank account could be a costly mistake — here’s how to know if you’ve got too much
Cash is king, right?
Well, not always. Sometimes you can have so much cash sitting around in your bank account that it turns into a wealth-devouring demon. On average, American families had about $62,410 in their checking accounts, according to the Federal Reserve’s 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances. For most people, that balance is simply higher than it should be.

Terrifying High-Tech Bank Scam Drains Your Life Savings In Seconds — and ‘devastated’ victims are sounding the alarm
Asia Grace Mon, October 27, 2025 NY Post
Noel Phillips can’t believe he was cleaned out so quickly — and easily.
The New York millennial was bled dry earlier this year by a group of scammers who used phone number-spoofing technology — software used to misleadingly alter caller ID information — to empty his bank account, taking all of his life savings, totaling nearly $30,000.
“It’s devastating,” Phillips, 33, a journalist and an NYC transplant from London, exclusively told The Post. “I can still hear the voices of the people who called me, posing as employees of Chase Bank, claiming there had been fraudulent activity on my account.”

Let’s Take a Quick Pause and Look Back at History
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) October 23, 2025
In light of this week’s roller-coaster gold ride, I thought it would be useful to turn once again back to the lessons of history and revisit what we discussed recently about the 1970s.
Foreign governments and central banks around the world had been becoming increasingly concerned about the US government’s outrageous fiscal deficits as early as the mid-1960s.

Wells Fargo Customer Lost $4,400 Just Hours After Depositing A Check — and a legal loophole nearly left her in the lurch
Mike Crisolago Mon, October 20, 2025
A Houston woman paid a steep price, literally, for a simple bank deposit that she made at her local Wells Fargo branch.
Willie Delane told her local Fox 26 network that on September 15 she deposited a life insurance check totalling $10,000 into her Wells Fargo bank account.
“I've been with Wells Fargo for so long, years and years” she said in the story. This is why, when she received a text roughly nine hours later saying that there was something fishy with a transaction involving her account, she called customer service. (1)
What If Gold Crashes To $3,000 Per Ounce?
What If Gold Crashes To $3,000 Per Ounce?
Notes From the Field by James Hickman (Simon Black) October 16, 2025
A little over a month ago, in early September, after careful analysis and detailed study, my team and I reached an important conclusion. And we started telling our audience almost immediately.
Gold had just crossed $3,500 per ounce, silver had just crossed $40, and many gold and silver mining companies had experienced astonishing gains.
Of course none of this came as a surprise to our readers. We’ve been saying for the past few years that gold in particular was going to go much higher, specifically because foreign governments and central banks were buying up gold by the metric ton as a way to diversify their strategic reserves away from the US dollar.
