Wes explains how to leverage your greatest asset to build real, lasting wealth through patient accumulation. Also, Wes tackles the "Pot of Gold" syndrome that haunts retirees. A study from MetLife shows that one in five Americans who receive a pension lump sum run out of that money in an average of just four years.
