    5 Things The Rich Buy That Make Them Richer


    Part 2 of where the wealthy actually spend their money. Brett and Katelyn run through 5 more categories that look like overspending until you do the math.


    The Gary Keller conference table that's outlasted every other piece of furniture in his office. Why Brett drives a Tesla. The $1,000 Costco run at 21 that bought back Brett's time. The Belize trip Brett gifted Katelyn becuase memories pay dividends and stuff doesn't. And the Brett quote that lands hardest: "The most expensive line item in your life isn't your mortgage. It's the network you're not building."


    If you missed Part 1, watch it first. We covered time, health, learning, kids, and trusted advisors over there.

    Diversification Makes You Rich. It Won't Make You Wealthy. | Brett Tanner + Katelyn Mitchell


    Brett and Katelyn are recording live from Apple Mountain Resort in Georgia, two weeks after their family office closed on the 285-acre property. Before they get into their ten-things series, Brett lays out the argument that most agents and investors build portfolios the wrong way: lots of small bets feel safe, but they'll cap your wealth and bury you in management units. The episode covers five of ten things the wealthy gladly overspend on, and the real estate investor lens runs all the way through it. Brett's 130-unit portfolio versus Apple Mountain's one management unit makes the point better than any spreadsheet. Part two drops next week with the remaining five.

    ABOUT THE CONVERSATION

    Brett and Katelyn recorded this one on-site at Apple Mountain Resort, the 285-acre golf and residential property their family office acquired two weeks prior. Brett makes the case that diversification is a path to getting rich, not wealthy, and that concentrated bets, executed well, produce the compounding that actually builds wealth. From there they cover the first five of ten things the wealthy actually overspend on: time, health and longevity, learning and skills, kids education and exposure, and trusted advisors. Part two drops the following week.

    How Wealthy Agents Actually Spend Their Money | Brett Tanner


    Most people think rich people win by buying better stuff. They don't. They win because they refuse to buy certain things even when they easily could. In this episode Brett breaks down the five categories the wealthy systematically avoid spending on, from housing to cars to status, and shares the 30-33 housing rule that keeps his own payment under 2% of his income.
