Yes, I too went to the three-day seminar. Yet, knowing much about real estate investing and an expectation both, to further my knowledge, and know that education is expensive, I am completely satisfied that I had engaged in WIA advanced training.
Myself an M. Ed graduate, my son an MBA, my daughter a current Juris Doctorate enrollee, I believe that my financial education is best served by this avenue of education. My wife and I had been real estate investors (multi-family and off-campus student housing) for more than twenty years, yet our financial approach to continued success was always hampered with the "how can we get to the next level of investment" concern.
Having been involved with the WIA for about one year, we have networked our experience and the education provided to reach beyond our initial expectations.
All highly educated members of my family through the "formal post-secondary and beyond" education system whole-heartedly believe that the WIA has provided that promised financial education that was proposed during the three-day introduction. My wife and I now know what financial freedom truely is, thanks to our foresight, and the "Zuckman" introduction.
It is unfortunate that so many think that $500 will solve their financial woes, yet finance their son's and daughter's "formal" education, at hundreds-of-thousands of dollars, to do little more than teach them to be employees.
I now know why the vast majority of Americans live the daily grind and complain, while the few "financially educated" reap the rewards of the American dream. It is sad that $500 means too much to so many when it comes to educating for personal wealth.
