From Fear to Fortitude: Inflation, Time, and Debt for Lifelong Wealth | Adiel Gorel | TEDxYoungstown

As a child, I used to sell Mimosa flowers to my neighbors and learned the importance of managing money wisely. Inflation can cause the value of money to decrease over time, but debt, specifically a 30-year fixed-rate loan, can be an effective tool for building wealth because it does not rise with inflation. Investing in rental properties with fixed-rate loans is a great way to benefit from inflation and time. Finding reliable property management firms to handle the day-to-day responsibilities is essential. Starting small and re-evaluating home loan payments or purchasing a single investment property can lead to significant financial growth. I encourage you to embrace the power of inflation, time, and debt to build wealth and secure your financial future.
