In this Money Tip, Ian explains why learning basic repair skills can save your family money, build confidence, and strengthen your leadership at home.

Before you automatically pay someone to fix the garage seal, lawnmower, water heater pilot, kids’ bikes, or small household issues, take time to learn whether it is something you can safely handle yourself. Every skill you develop creates financial margin and keeps more money in your household.

The goal is not to do everything yourself forever. As your income and business grow, some projects may be worth outsourcing. But when you are first building wealth, learning to fix what you can is a powerful way to save money, lead your family well, and become the hero your household needs.

This episode is a call for military fathers to stop surviving financially and start building, protecting, and leaving a legacy.
