Checkers vs. Chess – How the Wealthy Play a Different Game and Successfully Invest

Financial Advisor Freddie Rappina Shares Eye-Opening Wealth Building Comparisons



"Over my career I realized that when it comes to finances there are many strategies, options, and opinions," said Freddie Rappina, Financial Advisor.

    FAIRFAX, VA, August 17, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Without question, a lot of middle-class investors play it safe, with mutual funds and standard retirement accounts with Financial Advisors. The primary goal of an average retirement is a paid off home and reduced expenses and that is the end. However, many wealthy investors have a different perspective, looking at debt and taxes as an opportunity to purchase assets that produce cash flow such as real estate and businesses. They also look at many investment options, searching to create more write-offs combined with the traditional investment strategies with usually a very different outcome from the middle-class investors. This group does not just save for retirement for one family but can create cash flow and financial freedom for generations. Financial Advisor Freddie Rappina can easily speak to these strategies, the former being "checkers" and the later, for the wealthy, being "chess."

"Over my career I realized that when it comes to finances there are many strategies, options, and opinions. However, I believe there are two different games being played. Depending on which game you learn and play will greatly affect what kind of lifestyle you will have and the level of wealth you will be able to obtain. I compare it to checkers and chess. Playing checkers well can lead to a good financial life and a sustainable retirement," said Freddie Rappina, Financial Advisor. "While playing 'chess' well can lead to higher wealth that can go on for generations. Now, there is nothing wrong with playing 'checkers,' just don't believe for a second that you are playing chess."
