In today’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® podcast, I chat with Freddie Rappina, Financial Advisor, Chartered Financial Consultant, and Author of "Playing the Wealth Game." Freddie is the founder of Opta Financial, where he empowers clients to make informed financial decisions, leveraging strategies that bridge the gap between middle-class finance and wealth-building.
 
 Freddie’s journey from law enforcement to finance brings a unique perspective to his work, making complex financial strategies accessible and actionable. He emphasizes the differences between “checkers” and “chess” approaches to finance, inspiring listeners to transition from conventional saving methods to strategic wealth-building through leverage and asset management.
 
 Listen in as Freddie and I discuss:
 

•  The differences between “checkers” finance (middle-class mindset) and “chess” finance (wealth-building mindset).
• Why debt, when used strategically, can be a powerful tool for creating cash-flowing assets.
• How the tax code offers opportunities to build wealth when understood and utilized effectively.
• Why waiting decades for compound interest alone may not lead to financial freedom.
• The importance of building a financial team and outsourcing expertise to navigate complex wealth strategies.
