The Declaration of Financial Independence: What Freedom Really Means

In this special July 4th episode of The Prosperity Lounge, Joey Ruffalo gets personal.

He opens with a powerful tribute to his father, Joseph J. Ruffalo Jr., a Vietnam War veteran, community leader, and advocate for the blind. You’ll hear Joey’s dad read the poem “It’s the Veteran” and learn how his life shaped Joey’s views on freedom, finances, and faith.
