In this episode of the BiggerPockets Money Podcast, hosts Mindy Jensen and Scott Trench are joined by Nick Maggiulli, financial writer and creator Of Dollars and Data, to discuss his new book, 'The Wealth Ladder.' Nick explains the concept of the wealth ladder, which includes six levels based on net worth and how one's financial strategy should evolve at each level.

The discussion delves into the challenges and strategies to advance through these levels, the importance of adapting financial strategies over time, and key amplifiers like increasing your income, investing and diversification that can accelerate wealth building. Nick also touches on his own financial journey and the changing landscape of wealth and financial stability in the U.S..
