I’m 55 and earn around $450k annually, only save about 2% in HSAs. I've been reading a lot of articles mentioning how worthless 'cash savings' are in this current economy. Thus, my question: what is the best business to purchase to grow my cash as of now?

No nonsense like others just pure gold

Hi James, are you currently managing to pick up vendor financed deals that are interest free even with inflation being so high right now? Seems nuts that the seller would allow inflation to eat away at their sale value over a 4 year period.

Also, have you found that they always make you personally guarantee the deal?

Finally, are you able to make a video on the time someone screwed you over? It would be interesting to hear what mistakes were made and how others can avoid making the same mistakes. I've had a couple of friends stiff me in the past and have learnt a lot from it.

[Comradh]

Replied to the question you asked me in your last video. I think it makes for an informative video.

[WeeShooey]

Top notch content as usual James. My question is this. We all know work/life balance is important, but growing a successful business as you have done must have been difficult. There is only so many hours in the day, how do you prioritise work/life without having an adverse effect on either?
Keep up the great work. And I wish you every success.

[colincameron]

I would agree with every point you made in this video except one - Never give a PG as it puts you at risk, much better to provide a corporate guarantee which means that the SPV buying the business will be liable
