What if financial freedom isn’t about retiring early or accumulating more, but about aligning your life, decisions, and faith with a deeper purpose?
In this episode of the Make Life Less Taxing Podcast, Daniel Hanzelka sits down with Art De La Rosa, founder of Wealthy Dollar, to explore a radically different perspective on wealth. After decades in the traditional financial industry—from banking and commission-based advising to serving as a senior retirement specialist with CalPERS—Art stepped away from product-driven models to build a practice centered on stewardship, education, and faith.
Art shares how his journey reshaped his understanding of retirement, taxes, debt, and long-term planning. Instead of focusing solely on account balances, he emphasizes daily decision-making, intentional living, and strengthening one’s spiritual foundation as the true pathway to peace and freedom.
This conversation challenges common financial myths and invites listeners to consider a deeper question: What if faith—not fear—is the foundation of lasting financial clarity?
💡 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
• Why retirement may not be the ultimate goal
• The difference between financial independence and true freedom
• How daily financial habits shape long-term outcomes
• Why stewardship matters more than accumulation
• The role faith plays in reducing financial anxiety
