Wealth Your Way Insights
A Practical Guide to Financial Independence
Charting your course to financial freedom can feel like climbing a mountain in slippers. I’m here to help you lace up your hiking boots and map the trail with insights from my book, Wealth Your Way: A Simple Path to Financial Freedom, and a lifetime of real-world financial strategy.
Most financial advice treats wealth-building like a sprint. But real wealth? It’s a strategic climb. After 30 years consulting with high earners, I'll show you the difference.
Who I Am
I'm Cosmo DeStefano, a retired PwC tax partner turned personal finance strategist and author of Wealth Your Way, a practical, no-fluff guide to building wealth and achieving financial independence.
I didn't win the lottery or sell a startup—I built wealth one paycheck, one investment, and one decision at a time, just like you're doing.
Now, I’m helping others do the same through this newsletter and my personal finance book on Amazon, which distills decades of insight into a clear, actionable path to financial freedom.
Why Most Financial Advice Fails
Too much financial advice is either overly theoretical or caught up in trend-chasing. But most people don’t need complexity; they need clarity. Especially those juggling careers, families, and long-term goals.
