Great ride yesterday (another one today) with two of my sons up to the highest point in the bay. Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads here and the Dads that were and helped make us who we are

He had a plan. He just didn't follow it. 😬

In 1998, a client with $3.5M in Adobe stock was set to retire in 5 years.

The move? Sell some stock, lock in the gains.

He sold $500K ✅
He held onto $3M ❌

Then the dot-com crash hit.

That $3M became $500K — in months.

He didn't retire until 15 years later.

The lesson: when a stock is doing great, it's the HARDEST time to sell.
But sometimes, that's exactly when you have to.

📉 Don't ride it up just to ride it back down.

Feeling anxious about retirement? Here's why 👇

Imagine landing in an unfamiliar city with no GPS, no maps, no signal — and you have to find your hotel.

That's what retirement feels like WITHOUT a written income plan.

But once you map it out — how much you can spend, where you're headed — the anxiety fades.

📋 A retirement blueprint doesn't just give you a plan.
It gives you confidence.

💡 Know your numbers. Know your destination.

Will you pay too much in taxes?

06/10/2026

The 4% rule puts 100% of your money at risk in the market — and that's not a fun retirement. 😬 There are ways to get 6%, 7%, even 8% payouts using guaranteed products. It's about how you take the money out. 💰

⚠️ He worked 4 extra years for the bonus. Now he's mostly bedridden.
This is the retirement mistake no one talks about — waiting too long to actually live.
More money won't matter if your health gives out first.
✅ Take the trips while you can.
✅ Fix up the house now.
✅ Give to your kids while you're here to see their faces.
You can't take it with you. Someone else is getting it regardless.
Do it while you're still healthy. Do it while you still can.

🚨 They didn't eliminate Social Security taxes — here's what actually changed
A new deduction was added (not a tax elimination) for individuals earning under $75K or couples under $150K — and it expires in 2028.
But here's the sneaky part: those Social Security tax brackets haven't changed since the 90s. $25K single. $32K married. That's it.
Your Social Security income could be taxing your Social Security. 😳
Don't get caught off guard in retirement.
