What My 96-Year-Old Grandpa Taught Me About Real Wealth. Money Not Math Episode 179

About this episode

Drew Erickson shares personal lessons about real wealth learned from his 96-year-old grandfather.

This one is personal. My 96 year old grandpa passed away on March 20th. He was a man I admired deeply because of the way he lived his life with faith, humility, kindness, and a level of consistency that is rare today. In this episode, I share the lessons he taught me about real wealth. Not money, but character, commitment, community, and legacy. One of the memories I will never forget is being able to spend most of his final 24 hours with him. I sat next to him, held his hand, and was with him when he took his last breath. I will always be grateful for that time. If you have ever wondered what truly matters in retirement and in life, I hope his story encourages you the way it has encouraged me. #MoneyNotMath #RealWealth #Legacy #RetirementPlanning #Family #5StoneFinancialGroup This content is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice.
