Starting From Nothing

September 25, 2017 by Doug Haldeman

Everyone Starts From Nothing           The first thing we want to point out is that everyone starts from nothing.

Forget about family background, because these aren’t determinants of […]

6 Crucial Questions To Plan Your Mortgage

September 3, 2017 by Doug Haldeman

Loan Officer or Debt Strategist?             In your last mortgage transaction were you working with a true mortgage professional?

Decrease Debt                 The ideal scenario for people is to start with a fresh slate, decrease debt and still meet your monthly obligations. Defining your needs and wants is a great place to start.  Unfortunately, this isn’t the case for most people.  I know this story all too well.

The Millionaire Next Door: How To Grow Wealth

July 29, 2017 by Doug Haldeman

Millionaire Next Door

One of the most important books I’ve read in my life is “The Millionaire Next Door” by Thomas J Stanley. The book was written in 1996, and $1 million may not be as much as it used to be, but the concepts in the book still ring true. The book was written out of the research the authors did on the profiles of millionaires, or households with a net worth over $1 million. Let’s take a look at some of the key concepts of the book, and what the millionaire next door really looks like.
