Welcome and Thanks

Welcome to Everyone Can Build Wealth. Years ago, I read a book that stuck with me and altered my financial future—The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko. I was amazed the average millionaire didn’t earn a six figure income. I was also surprised by the author’s research showing how wealth is relative to your income and lifestyle. They found anyone can become wealthy; they just have to live below their means and learn happiness isn't relative to wealth.

Ever since reading the book, I've wanted to help others build wealth. Everyone Can Build Wealth is intended to help you and me build wealth.

One of the questions you may be asking is, "What makes Josh a financial expert?" I'm not. I've got a lot of interest in personal finance and my journey over the last 10 years has been one of studying personal finance and getting an education the old fashion way—making mistakes.

You've probably picked up pretty quickly that I'm not a professional writer. I enjoy writing and want to develop my writing skills. My mom always said, "practice makes perfect."

I hope through my blog I’ll be able to help you learn, avoid my mistakes, and ultimately inspire you to build wealth which I know everyone can. I'm sure I'll learn as much from your posts as I'll teach with mine.

Thanks for joining me at Everyone Can Build Wealth. I hope you enjoy the ride.

Josh
