In this podcast episode, I share my thoughts around financial independence vs. generational wealth.

The path to financial independence starts with building the right habits.

The path to generational wealth starts with owning equity in a private company that IPOs during a raging bull market.

In this podcast episode, I revisit the math behind housing as an investment.

I also explain why we have no choice but to accept risk in investing in stocks.

"Housing isn’t a great investment, but for most people, it’s the best investment they will ever make because it’s the only asset they will leave alone and let compound for 10, 20, 30 years."

What appears risky in the short term isn't risky in the long run and what appears safe in the short term isn't safe in the long run.

Here are three times when you should consider working with a financial planner:

#1 - You have a major life transition (marriage, divorce, children). Whenever you have a major life transition, there's typically a lot of money decisions to be made, and you'll want to have a plan in place.

For example, if you are getting married, you want to make sure that you and your spouse are on the same page about your financial situation and how you're going to use your combined money to maximize your long-term financial success.

#2 - You have a major financial decision to make.

For example, if you're highly concentrated in stock from your employer, especially if your company is going to go through an IPO, figuring out what is the right strategy for how much you want to own of that company, and how to manage taxes as it relates to your stock compensation.

#3 - You're looking for an accountability partner and someone who will provide you guidance in your best interest.

In this Do More With Your Money podcast episode, I discuss:

How you should think about making financial decisions based on the tax implications.

The difference between short-term and long-term capital gains taxes.

Scenarios where you want to plan first and optimize for taxes second.

No one likes to pay more taxes than is necessary! However, you should avoid making financial decisions just because it may increase your tax liability in the short-term.

Generally speaking, you want to have a plan in place first and optimize tax efficiency.
