How to Climb the Wealth Ladder (SB1711) | The Stacking Benjamins Show Podcast

What’s the right financial move for you… right now? If you've ever found yourself reading advice meant for a millionaire when you're still trying to crack five figures—or following budgeting tips when your net worth is seven digits—this episode is your custom-tailored financial GPS.

In this installment of The Stacking Benjamins Show, Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Doug take you rung-by-rung through the wealth ladder—from humble beginnings at $10K all the way to $10 million—and explain how your financial priorities, risks, and strategies evolve as your net worth grows.

How to avoid mismatched advice: Why taking financial tips meant for someone in a different stage can set you back instead of move you forward.

Net worth brackets and behavior shifts: What you should be thinking about at $10K, $100K, $1 million, and beyond—and what not to worry about yet.

When Roth IRA conversions make sense—and when they really don’t: With new legislation impacting retirement tax planning, Joe and OG break down the implications with help from Robert Powell of The Street.

Diversification, risk, and behavioral pitfalls: What the pros get wrong and how to stay grounded no matter how big your stack grows.

Community-driven insights: From listener milestones to new Stacking Benjamins swag sightings, you’ll hear how Stackers are winning in their own lives.

As always, the team weaves in laughter, sarcasm, and that unmistakable basement charm—complete with Doug’s new mug, a calendar confusion history lesson, and a household disaster caused by what can only be described as “revenge rain.”
