At some point we all encounter a luxury item and think, "There is absolutely no way this costs that much." And yet, people keep buying $30,000 handbags, $2000 sneakers, and watches that cost more than a down payment on a house. The questions we're asking today is whether or not luxury goods are actually worth their sky-high price tags, or are we just paying extra for a logo, a vibe, and the right to feel slightly superior to the have-nots. Watch along as we debate the finer things in life, unpacking why luxury items cost what they do, why people willingly swipe their cards anyway, and whether the splurge ever makes financial sense.

Show Highlights Include:

• Defining Luxury Goods (2:00)

• Looking At It From A Quality Perspective (6:00)

• Are You Really Getting Hand Crafted Goods? (10:00)

• Luxury Goods As Investments (15:00)

• Demand For Luxury Experiences On The Rise (21:30)

Many of us are working hard to achieve financial freedom, and hopefully enough wealth so that we can take care of our families for the rest of our lives. And for those that achieve this goal there is a desire to pass that wealth down to bless our children and our children's children.

On this episode we're trying to answer that question, using John D. Rockefeller as a case study. His wealth didn't just make him rich, it kept his family rich over multiple generations. Watch to find out what you can take from his playbook to keep wealth working for your family long after you're gone.
