Ben Johnson grew his family’s net worth to $1.8 million by age 34 through high income skills, consistent investing, and disciplined saving.
In this episode, we discuss how Ben and his wife paid off $80,000 of debt in just two years, increased their household income from $110,000 to more than $250,000, and built a seven figure investment portfolio while raising two young daughters.
We explore the power of tracking your net worth, investing in low cost index funds, and staying focused during the “messy middle” of family life. We also talk about why supply chain careers can be lucrative, how generosity plays a role in their financial plan, and why discipline matters more than motivation when building wealth.
If you want practical guidance on increasing your income, growing your investments, and building long term family wealth, this episode is for you.
