About Tom & LaDawn
Our Story
Tom and LaDawn Painter are the Parents of
5 Children and 4 Grandchildren
After I Suffered and Survived A Heart Attack At Age 34
I Knew I Had to Get Financial Systems in Place to Take Care of My 2 Special Needs Children
Following the Advice of My Father, James Painter and A Friend and Mentor Robert Allen
My Wife And I Started Working On Our Finances
We Fixed Up Houses and Invested in Real Estate
Created A Stream of Income from A Direct Selling Company
Created Businesses and Invested in the Stock Market
Today, We Are Financially Independent and Our Special Needs Children are Taken Care Of
When I turned 55 I Decided That I Would Like To Create a Non Profit Foundation That Would Do 2 Things
Teach Success and Money Principles and Donate To Non Profit Groups
The Painter Family Foundation and Success And Money Foundation Were Created
My Wife and I Have Already Given Over $2,000,000 to Schools, Churches, Charities, Groups and Teams
A Few Years Ago We Donated the 1st Four Unit Building We Bought 38 Years Ago and 2 Additional Four Unit Buildings Plus A House to the Foundation
This Added And Additional $1,700,000 to the Foundation
Last Year We Added Another $1,000,000 In Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffett’s Company) and Facebook Stock
This Money is Invested And Will Produce Profits That Will Be Given Away In The Years to Come
Outside Donations Are Welcome To Help Further The Work of FREE Financial Education Throughout The World
