8 Wealth Killers That Millionaires Avoid at All Costs

March 16, 2026 

8 Wealth Killers That Millionaires Avoid at All Costs 

Lots of investors and entrepreneurs self- sabotage their wealth, not with giant mistakes, but with quiet, toxic habits. 

Sponsored by

The first one is to rely on only one income source. No job is 100% safe, especially if you don’t really know what’s going on with the actual business or company. Relying on one single paycheck puts your future entirely in the hands of a company or a boss. This gives you the least amount of control over your future. The solution is to build three to five streams of income like investments, side businesses, real estate to create stability and accelerate wealth growth. If you don’t know how and you feel a bit overwhelmed, don’t worry. You just start with one. But 65% of self-made millionaires have at least three streams of income. 

Number two: treat taxes like a punishment. Taxes will be the biggest expense of your life. You will work till April or May to pay the tax collector first. Most people view taxes as a bill that takes their money away. The wealthy view the tax code as a road map that rewards certain behaviors like starting a business, investing, or saving for retirement. These are all things that are embedded into the tax code. And as boring as it may be to look at, the secret to a lot of investing is sitting in the tax code. The strategy is to use legal deductions like business expenses, benefit from lower capital gains rates, and take advantage of tax-deferred retirement accounts. The entire job here is not necessarily to make more, but it’s to keep more. 

Number three: consuming before creating. Most people spend the best and most energetic hours of their day consuming low-value entertainment – scrolling, binge-watching, and similar distractions. Instead, change the order of your day. Start your morning by working on income-generating activities like building a business, planning investments, or creating content. In the morning, your energy and focus are at their highest. Use that time to create value, not just consume it. Then later, consumption can become a reward, not a distraction that drains your time and attention. 

Number four: avoid talking openly about money. The problem is, most people avoid talking about money. They view it as awkward, rude, or they fear judgment. But the wealthy, they talk about their investments, their strategies, and their mistakes with trusted peers. That’s the only way that you’re going to learn. You need to learn by failure. We’ve all failed. We’ve all lost money. And the best way to avoid losing money is to ask: “How did this work out for you?” And put it all on the table and talk about it openly. Research shows that open discussion leads to better ideas and uncovers more and more opportunities. 

Number five: just focus on income, not on net worth. The mistake is that income is not wealth. High earners can still live paycheck to paycheck with debt. Because the minute you make a little bit more, you upgrade your car, you upgrade your lifestyle, you upgrade your house, it never ever gets better. The true measure is to focus on your net worth, which is assets minus liabilities, and of course, your active and passive income. The change is prioritizing investments like index funds, rental property down payments over quick depreciating purchases like the latest iPhone or car upgrades or those kinds of things. You need to really pay attention to things that depreciate and things that don’t, things that provide cash flow and things that don’t. This is the difference between active and passive income. 

Number six: avoid all debt. Now, the distinction is not all debt is bad. There’s good debt and there’s bad debt. So, good debt is money borrowed to acquire assets that increase in value or generate income. Things that other people pay off. So, things like a mortgage for cash flowing rental property or a business loan. These are very important types of leverage that you would use. But only if somebody else pays it off or a business is paying it off. The opposite of that is using debt and buying assets that depreciate. So eventually, your debt could actually be higher than the asset is worth. The key is controlling your debt by knowing the cost and ensuring the investment returns more than just the interest rate. 

Number seven: viewing money as a status symbol. The middle-class trap is chasing a lifestyle that looks successful – country clubs, nicer cars, bigger houses. But the wealthy think differently. They focus on financial freedom, not appearances. They prioritize cash flow and value creation. They make smarter financial decisions and invest in assets that create opportunities and generate income. Then, once those assets are working for them, that’s when they might buy the nicer car or the bigger house. So the key is simple: focus on assets, not trinkets. Let your wealth grow quietly by keeping your lifestyle below your income. 

And number eight: trade time for money forever. The default here is getting paid for hours worked. And the problem here is that income stops the moment you stop working. This is a trap. Work is essentially a claim on your time. And money should be used to replace that so you have more time. The transition is to work hard initially, save, then flip the equation by making the money work for you. This is slower, it’s not as flashy, it’s calculating, it’s strategic, and it’s definitely a longer term plan. The goal is to build passive income streams in your investments, your assets, and your businesses. You want to generate money even when you sleep or when you’re on vacation. So, you want to move from being paid for hours to being paid for value. 

The eight habits we explored aren’t just mistakes, they are real wealth destroyers.

Just Buy It? Barclays Thinks Nike Is Ready to Run

By Jeffrey Neal Johnson. Publication Date: 3/12/2026. 

Black Nike Air sneaker with a large white swoosh resting on asphalt pavement, representing Nike’s athletic footwear brand.

Key Points

  • NIKE’s strategic reset in North America is proving successful, with a revitalized wholesale channel signaling renewed confidence from retail partners.
  • The company’s innovation pipeline is accelerating, with exciting new footwear and apparel platforms set to fuel the next phase of its market recovery.
  • Following a period of underperformance, Wall Street analysts now see significant upside potential in the stock as the company’s turnaround gains traction.
  • Special Report: Every morning, an AI ranks 357 stocks for you (From TradingTips)

For months, investors have watched Nike, Inc. (NYSE: NKE), a titan of the consumer discretionary sector, struggle to find its footing — testing the patience of even its most loyal shareholders. The stock’s persistent underperformance has been a dominant storyline. Now a catalyst has sent a clear signal: a decisive Overweight upgrade from Barclays has injected fresh optimism, suggesting the tide may finally be turning. That external validation echoes CEO Elliott Hill’s characterization of Nike as being in the “middle innings” of a comeback — executing a strategic recovery rather than only beginning to address its problems.

The Comeback’s Home-Field Advantage

Before a global comeback can take hold, a company must first win at home. For Nike, the latest financial results from its North American segment provide compelling evidence that the turnaround is real. The region posted 9% revenue growth in the second quarter, driven chiefly by a 24% increase in wholesale revenue.

This makes me furious (Ad)

I Called Black Monday. Now I’m Calling March 26!

I predicted the 1987 crash six weeks early. I called the fall of the Berlin Wall. I pinpointed the exact bottom in 2009.

Now I’m staking my reputation on March 26, 2026 – the day I believe Elon will announce the SpaceX IPO.

Bloomberg is calling it “the biggest listing of ALL TIME.”

A $1.5 TRILLION valuation… the “wealth-building” moment of the decade.

Today, I’ll show you how to get in before the big announcement.Click Here to See How to Secure Your “SpaceX Access Code”

This is more than a single data point; it shows the recovery has a firm foundation. That wholesale growth reflects a strategic channel reset away from the previously stronger direct-to-consumer emphasis. By re-engaging key retail partners, Nike is better managing inventory and reaching a broader customer base.

Strong wholesale performance also signals the painful period of excess inventory is largely behind Nike. Retail partners are not only clearing old stock but are confidently placing larger orders for new products.

Management has reinforced this view with commentary about an improving order book for the upcoming spring and summer seasons.

That operational improvement is translating into better financial outcomes. With less excess inventory to clear, Nike is running fewer promotions and seeing stronger demand at full price. For investors, that combination — a healthy wholesale channel plus full-price demand — is the core formula for sustainable revenue growth and a recovery in gross margins.

From Inventory Cleanup to Innovation Rollout

With retail channels reset and shelves ready for new product, the focus turns to what will drive the next growth phase. Nike’s Sport Offense — a strategic framework to accelerate athlete-centered innovation — is intended to do precisely that. The company is positioned to supply partners with exciting, higher-margin products that helped build the brand.

Early results are encouraging:

  • Running on all cylinders: Performance running, a core segment, has grown by more than 20% for two consecutive quarters — a sign Nike is regaining share with a steady flow of newness. New models such as the Structure 26, a stability shoe aimed at enhanced support, are resonating with consumers.
  • Apparel’s next advance: Nike plans to debut its AeroFit platform — described as “air conditioning for the body” — in national team kits, bringing tangible performance technology to a huge global audience during the World Cup.
  • Basketball bounces back: Consumer excitement is returning to basketball, with strong sell-through for signature shoes and a positive reception for launches like the GT Future, which are driving traffic to retailers.

Perhaps the most concrete indicator of renewed product strength is partner confidence: bookings for the upcoming World Cup are up nearly 40% versus the 2022 event. That suggests Nike is shifting from selling more to selling better — a change that supports improved profitability.

Taking the Winning Formula Global

North America offers a blueprint, but investors remain focused on well-publicized headwinds abroad, particularly in Greater China and within the Converse brand. Those challenges should be seen as the next phase of a now-proven turnaround. Management has acknowledged the difficult results in Greater China, where revenue fell 17%, and has responded with a concrete plan: new leadership reporting directly to the CEO for faster decision-making, targeted investments in key-city retail, and a pivot back to innovation-led, premium positioning rather than competing on price.

Pressure on gross margins has been a major concern. Yet CFO Matthew Friend offered a reframing: excluding the external impact of tariffs, Nike’s underlying gross margins are already expanding. That suggests the core business is healing and profitability is improving as the company executes its plan.

A Discount on a Blue-Chip Rebound

Valuation is the final piece of the investment puzzle. Nike’s stock has had a tough run — down roughly 12% year-to-date and about 25% over the past year. Much of that underperformance reflects the inventory reset and the known challenges in China, creating what many analysts view as an attractive entry point.

The current Wall Street consensus price target for Nike is $74.90, implying more than 30% upside from current levels. On a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 27.33, the stock trades at a valuation that anticipates a meaningful earnings rebound.

The argument is straightforward: since the market has largely priced in the negative news from the Converse reset and the multi-quarter timeline for China’s recovery, continued progress in North America and early signs of stabilization internationally could prompt a re-rating as investors begin to price in the turnaround’s success.

Lacing Up for the Next Leg of Growth

The Barclays upgrade looks like more than a fleeting headline; it is external validation of a recovery that is beginning to show up in the numbers. North America provides clear proof of concept, and a rejuvenated innovation pipeline is supplying the fuel. The stock’s current valuation may present an opportunity.

While the global turnaround is still in the middle innings, the critical phase — resetting the core market — is largely complete. Investors will be watching Nike’s third-quarter earnings reporton March 31 for continued margin improvement and any signs of stabilization in China. Those results will be key indicators that this comeback is not only on track but beginning to hit its stride.

It’s time to move beyond Bitcoin

Dear Member,

There’s been no better investment on the planet this past decade than Bitcoin. 

Not gold …

Not bonds …

Nothing. 

Over the last ten years …

Bitcoin’s returns have more than doubled that of gold, real estate and stocks …

COMBINED.

A simple $1 investment in Bitcoin when it first traded seventeen years ago …

Would be worth more than $100 million dollars. 

That’s enough to make your head spin. 

It might give you a serious case of FOMO. 

But …

Before you rush to move your retirement plan into Bitcoin …

Hoping for these types of gains …

I’ve got news for you.

It’s not going to happen.

Because as we speak …

A seismic shift is reshaping the crypto landscape. 

Money is flowing out of Bitcoin …

And into a handful of exceptional cryptos. 

Coins that have the potential for their gains to blow past Bitcoin.

And it’s all happening at a rapid pace.

Presenting investors with an amazing opportunity.

P.S. Juan Villaverde has called every bull and bear market in crypto since 2012. 

Including the top and bottom of Bitcoin in 2018 …

To within days.

As a matter of fact …

He’s sitting on four different gains of more than 1,100% on Bitcoin.

But now …

He’s saying it’s time to invest in another crypto.

This Oil Spike Could Be a ‘Screaming Buy’

Stansberry Research Logo
Stansberry Digest

Delivering World-Class Financial Research Since 1999

The ‘escorts’ are coming… Weighing volatility… Why this oil spike is actually bullish… Looking at history… Expect more ‘chop’ ahead… The world’s most popular stock has done nothing… Profiting during any market environment…


The ‘escorts’ could be coming…

As the war in Iran stretches beyond two weeks, we’re nearly halfway through President Donald Trump’s initial timeline for the conflict.

And now, it looks like help is on the way for the volatile oil market and the tankers that carry the “black gold” from the Middle East.

Over the weekend, we read reports that at least one additional U.S. warship and possibly 2,000 Marines based in Japan – including the USS Tripoli and the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit – are headed to the Middle East. And yesterday, the Wall Street Journal reported…

The Trump administration as soon as this week plans to announce that multiple countries have agreed to form a coalition that will escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, which runs along the Iranian coast, U.S. officials said. They are still discussing, however, whether those operations would begin before or after hostilities end.

The White House declined to comment on the expected announcement, which could shift depending on battlefield conditions. Publicly, many countries have been noncommittal to such an escort mission until hostilities cease, given the risks involved.

In a Sunday joint statement, the foreign ministers of the U.K. and members of the Gulf Cooperation Council – a body representing the interests of six countries in the Gulf region – said GCC states “have the right to take all necessary measures to defend their security and stability and protect their territories, citizens and residents.”

Connecting the dots, it sounds like tanker military “escorts” will begin once the missiles and Iranian drones stop flying.

In the meantime, volatility continues…

Oil prices were lower today, with West Texas Intermediate down 5% and Brent crude, the international benchmark, down 3%. Meanwhile, major U.S. and foreign stock indexes were higher. The benchmark S&P 500 Index closed 1% higher.

But oil prices are still up about 40% since the start of the attacks in late February. That has rightfully raised fear in the market. After all, if about a fifth of global oil and gas supply is interrupted, businesses and economies will suffer.

The CBOE Volatility Index (“VIX”), considered by some to be the market’s “fear gauge,” hit 35 on March 9 – its highest level since the market’s Liberation Day panic last April.

The VIX measures bullish and bearish options bets on the S&P 500 over the next 30 days. The indicator typically rises when traders get “fearful” and are looking to buy protection with puts (bearish bets).

As longtime readers know, these fearful times tend to create long-term buying opportunities.

Still, while the VIX was down 13% to less than 24 today, we can’t know for sure whether this spike is done. Volatility has been trending higher since the end of December. Plus, high-yield credit spreads, another measure of market worry, are trending higher, too.

We’re closely watching the credit market and what’s going on in Iran to see if new risks emerge. However, if you can look ahead just a bit, the market outlook does look brighter…

A bullish sign…

As geopolitics, oil spikes, and volatility make the headlines, Stansberry Research senior editor Brett Eversole recently looked back at similar history to see what could happen next.

As Brett wrote in last week’s edition of True Wealth Systems Market Extremes, an oil rise like what we just saw (with prices jumping 5%-plus for two straight days) was actually a bullish signal for the market.

These rare setups led to volatility and muted returns in the short term, but the market typically held up fine over the medium and longer term. In fact, Brett says these oil price spikes turned out to be “a screaming buy signal for U.S. stocks.” As Brett wrote…

The operations in the Middle East sent oil prices up by nearly $30 a barrel, before giving back some of that rise.

Most folks would say this is a reason to sell. But history disagrees.

To see it, I looked at each unique case of oil jumping 5%-plus for two straight days. That’s a rare setup… It has only happened 11 other times since 1986. But as I said before, it’s a screaming buy signal for stocks. Take a look…

This gives us some important hints of what to expect in the coming months.

First, expect volatility in the short term. After oil prices spike, folks don’t know what’ll happen next. That uncertainty drives the three-month return down to a paltry 0.8%, well below the typical three-month return.

By six months, folks see that the worst-case scenario hasn’t played out. And markets start catching up to their typical six-month return, with a 3.5% gain.

The one-year period is where things get interesting. Stocks were typically up 18.6% a year later. That’s a healthy return… and about double the typical one-year gain.

Few would expect these results, especially with today’s frightening headlines. But history filters out that noise and tells us what we can actually expect.

Sean Michael Cummings on the True Wealth team also notes that there is precedent for this oil spike to be short-lived, based on past geopolitical history in the Persian Gulf. Sean looked at the Gulf War, of course, and an earlier conflict in the 1980s…

In 1984, Iraq attacked Kharg Island, one of Iran’s key oil terminals…

The attack was part of a string of oil-related strikes in the Persian Gulf. And it caused Iran to effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz off to Iraq and its allies.

This channel through the Persian Gulf carries about one-fifth of the world’s oil supply. Take a look…

At the time, the Iranian navy lined the bay with mines and sank Kuwaiti tankers. That led to a big spike in oil prices through 1986.

But then, the U.S. Navy busted the blockade…

U.S. military boats guided Kuwaiti vessels through the strait, starting in 1987. The initiative was called “Operation Earnest Will.” And oil prices rapidly retreated. Take a look…

The operation effectively circumvented the blockade. And oil prices collapsed as soon as it started.

We saw a similar round trip in oil prices during the Gulf War.

In the short term, expect more ‘chop’ ahead…

As we noted last Thursday, despite a 40% jump in oil prices since the start of the war in Iran, the S&P 500 isn’t down much from its all-time high set in January.

As of today, the benchmark index is only 4% away from a new record high, and is trading about 1% above its longer-term, 200-day moving average. This could be a good sign (if the technical support level holds), or a warning sign of more downside.

Until there’s a clearer resolution to oil supply and the Middle East, we can expect more “chop” in the market ahead, instead of a clear trend higher or lower.

For long-term investors, this might be a challenging environment. But for traders like Ten Stock Trader editor Greg Diamond, it’s an opportunity to profit…

So far this year, Greg has closed eight trades in Ten Stock Trader for an average gain of 40%, and he’s eyeing up more opportunities for the weeks and months ahead. As Greg wrote in his Weekly Market Outlook this morning…

As we approach the April/May time frame, I’m tracking a combination of setups… in the S&P 500 Index, as well as semiconductors, banks, and industrials…

Some areas of the market may hold strong, while others may make lower highs. In both cases, we can build strategic trades.

As an example of the type of setups Greg is watching, look at this chart of AI darling Nvidia (NVDA).

The red line represents NVDA’s 200-day moving average (a measure of a long-term trend), the blue line is the 50-day moving average (a shorter-term indicator), and the red and green candlesticks indicate NVDA’s price action each day since September…

As Greg wrote this morning…

Since topping out in October, NVDA has gone absolutely nowhere. Keep in mind that this is the largest stock in the world by market cap. And it has been trading sideways for nearly half a year.

While Greg says “overall, the semiconductor sector is looking pretty weak,” he’s not recommending a trade on Nvidia or semiconductors just yet. But he is getting ready by looking at charts like these.

Greg is a master of profiting from all kinds of market environments – like during the COVID-19 crash, the 2022 bear market, and the banking crisis in early 2023. Folks who followed Greg’s recommendations since he joined Stansberry Research in 2017 could have doubled their money 41 different times.

Right now, he says the market is setting up for another big move in the months ahead – and you can profit. You can find all the details in Greg’s free 2026 Market Crash Summit here. But this is your last chance. Greg’s presentation goes offline tonight at midnight Eastern time.

New Alert [Tuesday @ 9:30am ET]

March 16, 2026 | Unsubscribe 

Hello!

We are continuing to monitor today’s alert for a sustainable breakout higher. 

In addition, Thursday’s alert continued its breakout today, rallying +20% so far in just 3 days.

Now, get ready for a new NASDAQ alert coming tomorrow morning, Tuesday at 9:30 AM ET.

Tomorrow’s new alert is positioned in a very active industry and remains largely under the radar. 

Because this company has only recently begun trading on the NASDAQ, awareness is still limited, which could offer an early opportunity as more investors take notice. 

The company has a history of sharp moves and has recently announced multiple acquisitions, developments that could increase growth significantly. 

Combined with its high-growth profile, this setup stands out as one we believe is worth watching closely. 

We’re excited to bring this opportunity to your attention and share the full details. 

Be ready for the alert tomorrow, Tuesday at 9:30 AM ET.

To get all of our updates in real-time – Click hereto sign-up for free text alerts to your phone. (*We do not charge for this service, but standard carrier message and data rates may apply.)

Please make sure our emails are landing in your inbox, not spam, so you do not miss the alert. 

All alerts are released only during normal market hours to ensure all subscribers get the same fair access and to avoid after-hours volatility. 

See you tomorrow morning!
