Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

Adam Taggart is the founder of Thoughtful Money®, where your wealth = our #1 focus. Thoughtful Money was created to educate & empower regular investors just like you build wealth to fund their life goals. We do this by interviewing the top experts in money & the markets to give you actionable advice on how to protect & grow your wealth. Why? Because today’s environment is one of the most challenging ever for “regular” investors: inflation, high interest rates, recession risk, runaway debt & deficits, volatile financial markets, unstable banks & geopolitical threats — just to name a few. How will assets like stocks, bonds, real estate, commodities, gold, Bitcoin insurance policies, estate plans perform in the environment ahead? Are you just trying to figure out how to protect your family’s financial future from these risks — and hopefully grow your wealth, too — without becoming collateral damage to market events? We sure think that should be your focus. It’s certainly ours.
