Schmidt Financial Management, Inc. Where execs and tech professionals go for financial advice

Standing in solidarity with everyone who has a child heading back to school or is helping one get there. 🎒

Fun fact: Evan Schmidt and Dominic Hubert have been friends since the 7th grade.

So naturally, we had to find out how much they actually remember about each other from those middle school days.

Turns out, some things stick with you. Others...not so much.

P.S. Consider this your very subtle back-to-school reminder that the 529 or UTMA account probably deserves a little attention, too. 😉

Mac’s point about the ten-year gap really puts this into perspective.

Children can begin forming their connection with money years before they receive any formal financial education. During that time, they are still learning. The question is what is filling the gap.

Small, age-appropriate conversations at home can help kids build understanding and confidence much earlier.

Listen as Mac explains why we should not wait to start talking about money.

We loved creating our new office space. Take a walk with Evan Schmidt, Principal Advisor, for a tour!

P.S. Bonus points for who can guess what teen movie scene we think resembles our office window view. 🎬

*Hint: This movie was meant to portray a small town on the Olympic coast.

We love how simply Mac breaks this down.

There are four basic things we can do with money: spend it, save it, invest it, or give it away.

Introducing all four choices early helps kids understand that money is not only for buying something today. It can also be saved for later, given the opportunity to grow, or used to help someone else.

In this clip, Mac shares how that simple idea became the foundation for The Four Money Bears.

If you’re choosing between an HSA and an FSA, the “best” answer depends on whether you’re optimizing for today’s cash flow or long‑term tax‑free growth.

HSA:
• needs an HDHP + rolls over year to year
• can be invested (triple tax advantage)
• you can cash flow expenses

FSA:
• use‑it‑or‑lose‑it (with limited carryover/grace rules)
• great for predictable near‑term expenses

A quick rule of thumb:
• predictable expenses → FSA can help
• long runway + ability to invest → HSA often shines
