The traditional financial world has instilled in most Americans that the only way to wealth is through doing what they tell you. The major problem here is that, many times, they do not take their own advice and, even more often, their bosses do not follow that advice. Much of the conventional financial world is smoke and mirrors, designed to give you the impression that your money will “work for you” when the reality is that over time, this hasn’t come to pass. If what you thought to true about your money turned out not to be, when would you want to know? It’s Your Money, Your Freedom and Your Future! Tune into The David Lukas Show! The show has featured interviews with experts who have regularly appeared on other major media outlets such as Fox News and CNN. The David Lukas Show airs locally Saturdays at 12pm on KARN News Radio 102.9FM (Central Arkansas).
