Ranking the Investments That Made Me a Millionaire

from Building Your Money Machine · host Mel H Abraham, CPA, CVA, ASA, CSP

Welcome to the Building Your Money Machine Show! In this episode, I’m ranking every investment that got me to millionaire status (and the ones that almost wiped me out). I’m talking business, stocks, index funds, real estate, syndications—and one money pit that gets a fat zero because it’s not even an investment (but millions keep throwing cash at it). Listen, this episode isn’t your typical rah-rah for hot stocks or get-rich-quick schemes. I’m here to shake up some sacred cows, break a few hearts, and give you the real deal on what actually builds wealth over decades—not just what sounds cool at dinner parties.So buckle up. I’ll show you what fueled my wealth, what flopped, and what you should avoid if you want your own money machine humming nicely for decades to come.IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I BREAK DOWN:Why your income source is the real fuel for wealth—not the latest shiny investmentThe no-brainer asset that built 80 percent of my net worth (spoiler: it’s not that exciting)The real math on real estate, and why I’m actually selling a big chunk right nowHow “exclusive” deals and private bets cost me friendships AND a piece of my net worthThe fastest-growing asset class to avoid like the plague—because it isn’t investing, it’s just gambling with a fancy nameIf you’ve ever been pitched on the next big thing, this is the episode you (and your bank account) can’t afford to miss.
