Net Wealth Nest Podcast

Send us Fan MailHas anyone ever actually taught you how money works? For most people, the answer is no. And that's a systemic problem, not a personal one.In this episode, Jim breaks down three rules of money that wealthy people apply every day, and most people never hear: compound interest (the force that's already working for you or against you), assets vs. liabilities (most people get cars and houses wrong), and opportunity cost (what every dollar you spend will never become).These aren't theories. They're the rules that quietly determine whether your financial decisions build you up or hold you back.Free 2-Minute Pulse Check to spot the habit costing you the most: www.netwealthnest.com/pulseProgress over perfection.

Send us Fan MailIs a college degree still worth it, or has the formula changed? In this episode, Jim LeBoeuf takes an honest look at the promise of college versus the reality of today's job market. With over $1.7 trillion in U.S. student debt and 2024-2025 college graduates ranking among the highest unemployment rates in the country, the old playbook needs a serious update. Jim walks through which degrees still deliver strong returns (think STEM, healthcare, and specialized fields), why trade schools and apprenticeships are quietly producing six-figure earners without the debt load, and how to think about ANY education investment through a return-on-investment lens; not just a "did I get a diploma" lens. This is the conversation high schools, parents, and young adults should be having... but usually aren't. If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who's weighing a major education decision.
