Millions of Americans dream about building wealth, but what do wealthy families actually do differently?

In this episode, Brent Gargano and Ben Jones break down a recent survey of more than 1,400 Americans with over $3 million in invested assets. They explore the habits, decisions, and long-term mindset that consistently separate wealthy households from everyone else—and, more importantly, which of those habits anyone can begin applying today.

Topics include:

• Why ownership is the foundation of wealth • The power of long-term investing and compounding • Why wealthy families value flexibility over lifestyle inflation • Legacy planning and thinking beyond your own retirement • Why successful people build a team of trusted advisors

Plus, the hosts discuss current market headlines, including:

• Trump's new investment accounts • Early Q2 earnings from major banks • SpaceX trading below its IPO price • The return of Anthropic's Fable 5 • Recent developments affecting global markets
