Why wait for January 1st to start building momentum?
If you hit the Social Security tax cap earlier this fall, you've got extra net income sitting in your payroll right now. For high earners, that can mean $7,000+ in extra cash flow before the year ends.
Instead of letting it slide into passive spending, put it to work starting today:
1️⃣ Invest in your future: Increase your 401(k) or high-yield savings contribution.
2️⃣ Enjoy today: Book a quick weekend getaway or do something generous for someone else.
My favorite approach? Do both.
Don’t deprive yourself, but don’t blow it all either. Balance is the real key to long-term wealth.
How are you maximizing your end-of-year cash flow?

Conversations this week!

She gets to keep both social security checks after I pass.

What do you mean I will pay higher taxes as a widow?

I don't plan on being hurt or sick, so I don't need disability insurance.

The internet says I should be able to draw 10% of my balance every year to live on.

I don't care if my mortgage rate is 2.875%, I don't want to owe anyone.

What do you mean I will owe taxes on my IRA? I am retired.

Legitimate heartbreak!

Played recently and the bag hit the ground after the round....I thought nothing of it.

Then went to play again,
got bag out,
took off bag cover,
and like something out of a horror movie,
the head - still inside the cover, fell onto the ground at my feet. (think Friday 13th).

I simply stood there in shock, disbelief, and heartache. I bought this 4 weeks ago...and legit hit between 240 and 260 all game last week.

Life throws unexpected surprises at us all the time. What do you do, but move forward.

Money surprises happen like this too. Be prepared, have an emergency fund, life insurance, disability coverage,...and for those over 40 get serious about long term care conversations.

4 simple words that will change your life forever!

We sponsored a brain health seminar Wednesday by Dr. Marc Milstein and his book; The Age Proof Brain.

While he shared all the right things to do with sleep, diet, exercise, environment, health, etc etc.

I was able to dumb it down for myself to these 4 words.

Golf, W**e, Friends, and dancing.

I think all of you would agree a life containing those (or similar activities) would an enjoyable life.

While there are so many details, keeping it simple, easy to do, and fun makes life all the better already.

Being Fit is proof of effort! not what you lift, how fast your mile, how long you plank; but visible tangible evidence that you care about yourself and your family enough to put in the work. Fitness does not come in pill form or by only what you do or don't eat. You must sweat and it is earned.

That said, fitness is also not proof you are a great person. That"s where serving others comes in. Your heart to serve others will also determine your life trajectory.

If you combine the two, you will be an unstoppable person.

Go serve someone today!

F⁵.
Faith
Family
Fitness
Feelings
Finances

They are in this order for a reason. Today is about feelings. Feeling are so important. If you feel you might be in danger, don't ignore that for politeness sake.

However, not feeling like going to the gym; buying something you dont need to feel better; eating/drinking to feel better; this is where feeling don't matter.

Many of you dont feel like working right now....so you are scrolling Linkedin. 😉

Build habits and let your feelings do their job of keeping you safe, but not down.

Respect the ocean! it cares not about any of your characteristics, religion, politics, race, ethnicity, melanin, posturing, makeup, hair, nails, shoes, house, cars, or drink preference.

Maybe that's why everyone is drawn to it. The soothing sound of the waves. The sunshine, so good for your soul.

Consider how you can be more like the ocean.

Ps. It also does not tolerate foolishness.

2 funerals, same day! I am not saying don't hang around me, but I have been to 4 funerals in the last month. 😳

Yesterday I attended funerals for a 67 yo and 38 yo. Both well attended, but there was a common theme.

Everyone said, we thought we would have more time; time for visits, time for trips, hangouts, ball games, conversations, meals, holidays, texts....

Consider your current life path and make it have 2 components for when you pass;
1. You did/said/shared/laughed/traveled as much as possible.
2. Do it in such a way that you will be missed and remembered for what you GAVE to others emotionally/mentally/spiritually.

If you aren't a Jesus believer, I encourage you to invest time studying the Bible and Jesus in particular. I talk a lot about skydiving and I drive too fast at times, but I am not afraid of what's next if my chute doesn't open.

Check out Bible app. Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis is an additional choice.

We will ALL pass one day. Know what's next.

Ready to retire? Just thinking can I ever retire? Somewhere in the middle, how do I retire?

All valid questions at many stages/ages.

2 recent conversations:
Sally age 65, settling into how does retiring work? How do I still have money each month when I am not working?

Eduardo age 43, super saver, thinking what can I do in 20 years: I shifted the conversation to 10 years. Saving almost too much and certainly on track monetarily to retire earlier, but needs to plan for how to get it out without giving too much to uncle Sam.

If you are asking questions like these, you have come to the right place. We help 401k millionaires retire right the first time. That means financially, physically, and mentally. We guide and counsel you on making that smooth transition.

90 days.

Thats all that's left of this year. What will you do with your 90? Do you have plans, projects, ideas that you want to try?

Don't wait for January. Literally and physically start today. Start small, but start.

Language, music, art, work skills- 15 minutes a day, not counting Sundays, is 78 hours a year. What could you accomplish in 78 hours?

So get off LI, FB, INST, X....and make it happen. set a timer too, just 15 min.

To lead by example, My wife and I took S**g dance lessons this past month. Always wanted to and finally made time to do it.
