He Had 4 Kids Under 2 and Fired His Financial Advisor. Dave Wolcott's Wealth OS Story

He was 26, a former Marine Corps Captain with an 18 month old at home, when his wife had triplets. Four kids under two, and his financial advisor's advice was to max out his 401k and fund some 529 plans. That answer wasn't good enough for him.
