Travis Jennings has spent almost a decade educating the wealthy on better techniques and strategies to improve their personal finance, investments, and taxes. Over time he learned that one of the key differences between those with wealth and those without, is the type of financial education they receive. The current system guides the brightest advisors to the wealthy leaving the masses to their own devices. Without a trained advisor to guide people through the process of debt elimination and then on to wealth creation, the masses have been and will continue living in financial peril with no real light at the end of the tunnel.
