The Table with Anthony ONeal

At 23, I bought a car I couldn't afford to impress people who don't even call me anymore. When I add up the payments, the insurance, the interest, and the opportunity cost of what that money could have become — that one decision cost me close to $200,000. Not in cash. In wealth I never built. And that car was just the beginning. The apartment. The clothes. The trips. The dinners. Every dol...

I taught debt freedom for 15 years. I was wrong about one thing. Getting out of debt is not the finish line. It never was. I sat in my apartment — 100% debt free for the first time in my adult life — and felt completely lost. No wealth plan. No investment strategy. No legacy framework. Just zero debt and zero direction. Nobody taught me what came next. Not my school. Not my family. Not the financi...

This is the exact framework I used to go from broke and livin...

About half of my college students shouldn't even be in my classroom. I say that as a professor at an HBCU — not from a cheap seat, but from the front of the classroom. Here's the truth nobody wants to say out loud: a 4-year degree is NOT the right path for every single person. Some of y'all are walking out with $40,000 in student loan debt for a path that was never built for who you ar...

I went from $6.32 in my bank account at 25 years old to a net worth millionaire — and in this video, I'm giving you the 6 things that changed everything. No theory. No Wall Street talk.

Anthony O'Neal went from sleeping in his car and cutting a cheeseburger in half to make it last, to becoming a net worth millionaire who closed on the biggest home of his life.

$1,000 Is No Longer Enough! I have to say it. I taught the $1,000 emergency fund rule for years. Today, I'm officially changing it — and I'm owning that.

The economy has changed, and our advice has to change with it. I...
