from The James Ibezim Podcast · host James

You earn a good income. So why aren't you wealthy?In this episode, I sit down with David Kennington, who spent more than 30 years working as a fitter and machinist in Western Australia's mining industry before experiencing a financial wake-up call that changed the way he thought about money.After losing money in his super fund and realizing that earning a paycheck wasn't enough to build lasting wealth, David began learning how investing, debt management, budgeting, and financial strategy actually worked. Within a year, he had purchased two investment properties and started building a plan around turning income into assets.We discuss why hardworking people can still live paycheck to paycheck, the importance of building a financial buffer, good debt vs bad debt, the emotional side of investing, financial behavior, and how young workers can use time to their advantage.David also shares the ideas behind his upcoming book, Tradies! Earn While You Sleep, and what it really means to move from simply earning money to building wealth.FREE GIFT: David is offering a free Debt Demolisher Sheet to help you tackle your debt, along with a Budget Blueprint that explains his bucket system for managing your money.Get your free resources at "Tradies Earn":https://tradiesearn.com
