Last week on Wealth Formula Podcast, we dove deep with an expert who specializes in due diligence for small business acquisitions. To reiterate, what makes small business acquisitions especially enticing are the incredible financing opportunities available through the SBA. Imagine this: you only put down 10 percent on a $5 million business, and sud…

When it comes to building wealth, the allure of exotic investment products can be hard to resist. From cryptocurrencies to rare collectibles, these options promise excitement, exclusivity, and the potential for big returns. But are they truly superior to buying the market or some rental real estate? Let’s take a look at a few popular exotic investm…

Lately, I’ve been thinking about starting a new business. I know the market seems like it’s crashing around us, and we’re probably headed into a recession. But hey—I started my first business back in 2009, and it doesn’t get much worse than that, right? Well, maybe it can. And that’s exactly why I’ve been considering buying a business instead of st…

Charlie Munger, the late sage of value investing and Warren Buffett’s right-hand man, once said there are only three ways a smart man can go broke: “liquor, ladies, and leverage.” Now, of the three, leverage is the sneakiest. It shows up dressed like opportunity, whispers promises of scale and speed, and before you know it—you’re in a capital call …

As I reflect on the difference between Trump’s first administration and his current one, I notice a marked shift. When Trump first took office, his message and objectives weren’t clear to me. Beyond the promise of building a wall, I struggled to understand his vision. This time around, it’s vastly different. His message is laser-focused, and I’ve b…

Renewable energy is often discussed in political terms, but here’s a straightforward look at the financial side. In the last decade, solar energy costs have fallen dramatically—by nearly 90% since 2010. In top markets, solar panel costs dropped from about 29 cents per kilowatt-hour to under 3 cents. By contrast, new coal and gas plants still cost b…

It’s been some time since we did an Ask Buck show, and I realized last week that I have some unanswered questions in the inbox. The first question I read ended up being kind of a broad one, but it made me really think about how it all started for me. I started this podcast over a decade ago after realizing that there were not a lot of good resource…

To my credit, I was relatively early in my recognition that Bitcoin was for real and that it wasn’t going to zero. It was 2016, and, up to this point, I had the misfortune of hearing only one narrative about Bitcoin—that of Peter Schiff. Peter is a very smart guy and quite convincing if you listen to his podcast. At the time, I was an avid listener…

People have a misconception of what the tax code is. While there are a few pages devoted to telling you when you must pay taxes, the majority of it is about the situations in which you can avoid them. That’s why it’s important to find a competent tax professional. And that’s not as easy as you might expect. You see, most high-paid professionals get…

When I started this podcast a decade ago, I was completely focused on real estate. I had some pretty dogmatic views back then and didn’t really consider other investment options. That mindset worked for me. I’ve been a real estate investor since 2010, and while the market’s in a tough spot right now, we did enjoy over a decade of a bull market. Tha…

For most people, taxes are nothing more than a necessary evil—a burden to be minimized and avoided at all costs. But that mindset might not be the most productive one to take. Consider that the tax code might not just be a drain on your resources but a roadmap to creating wealth. The truth is that the tax code is nothing more than a series of incen…

Let’s talk about a fundamental difference in the way traditional investors think versus those of us who invest in alternative assets. The traditional investor sees the stock market, bonds, and mutual funds as the safe and stable way to grow wealth over time. And look, stability is not a bad thing. But here’s the problem: how many people do you know…

Like everyone else, as the new year approaches, I become a bit reflective. I’m not really the kind of guy to have heroes nor do I fawn over celebrities. In fact, there is only one person in the world who I credit with fundamentally changing the course of my adult life: Robert Kiyosaki. I’ve had the privilege of meeting Robert multiple times over th…

Bitcoin has been making headlines again as it surged past the $100,000 mark. If you’ve been following this podcast, you’ll know I’ve been talking about Bitcoin since late 2016. Back then, its price hovered around $3,000 to $4,000, and that’s when I truly started to believe in its potential. But what is Bitcoin, anyway? At its core, it’s a type of d…

The idea of packing up and moving to another country might sound radical at first. But for many Americans, it’s becoming a logical next step.

I have to admit, I can’t wait to see what Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy do with their proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Beyond potentially creating a big pump for Elon’s beloved crypto favorite, Doge Coin, the idea has generated significant discussion about its potential impact on the federal government.
