Which Graduate Degrees Are the Best Investment? (Why I Skipped My MBA)

When I was 27 years old I was at a crossroads. I was five years into my career, yet I was stagnating. Though I was making six figures, which was great for my 20s, I knew I couldn't make much more at my job. Without an advanced degree, my future compensation would be an endless chain of 3% annual "cost of living" adjustments and nothing more. At that moment, I knew I had to make a change.

So I consi Read more of this blog post »

What a good read! Well written, informative, and perhaps most importantly, the tone of the book is just right. Nick never preaches or talks down to you. He backs up everything with research and real-wor" Read more of this review »

“If you have money but you don’t have friends, family, relationships, health, time, or purpose, what’s the point? It’s like having a plate full of salt, but nothing to eat it with.”
Nick Maggiulli, The Wealth Ladder: Proven Strategies for Every Step of Your Financial Life

“Regardless of your wealth level, you should be mindful of all these things. They are all important for living a good life. However, their relative importance shifts as you move up the Wealth Ladder. The reason why is simple: as you gain more wealth, money solves fewer and fewer of your problems. Many of the issues faced by those in Level 1 can be solved with money. However, many of the issues faced by those in Level 6 can’t.”
Nick Maggiulli, The Wealth Ladder: Proven Strategies for Every Step of Your Financial Life

“William Vanderbilt, who was once the richest man in the world, echoed this sentiment when comparing his life to that of his less wealthy neighbor: He isn’t worth a hundredth part as much as I am, but he has more of the real pleasures of life than I have. His house is as comfortable as mine, even if it didn’t cost so much; his team is about as good as mine; his opera box is next to mine; his health is better than mine, and he will probably outlive me. And he can trust his friends.”
