If you’re looking to be sold on an investment, eventually, you’ll find someone who will sell you an investment.

Instead of looking for an investment, ask yourself what you’re trying to achieve.

What’s your why?

Timeless Money Lessons

In this podcast episode, I share strategies for maximizing tax-preferential accounts like 401(k)s when creating a large tax liability by diversifying company stock.

Make sure that you're fully utilizing a pre-tax 401(k) if you're in an abnormally high tax bracket due to a windfall via equity compensation.

Make the most of your resources by filling up tax-preferential accounts in preparation for financial independence.

Money is fungible - make it do more! :)

Use Your Equity Comp To Maximize Your 401(k)

Remind yourself that when RSUs vest and you don’t immediately sell, you’re making an active decision to increase your exposure in your company’s stock. Unless you made an 83(b) election at grant, there’s no avoiding being taxed as income at vesting.

You should be skeptical about pre-paying taxes on equity comp of an already publicly traded company over short time horizons. You can reasonably expect an increase from private to public, but once publicly traded, the collective market is pretty good at pricing expectations.

This and more in today's DO MORE WITH YOUR MONEY podcast episode!

When RSUs Vest You Need To Remind Yourself This

In this podcast episode, I share three things you need to do when anticipating a windfall from equity compensation.

1) What type of equity do you own? Restricted Stock Units, Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, or a combination?

2) What is the vesting schedule of your equity comp? How much is currently vested vs. unvested? What are the exercise prices and expiration dates on any options? What is the blackout period for trading, and can you exercise unvested options to try to optimize for long-term capital gain treatment?

3) What's your long-term vision for creating your ideal life? How do you want to use the windfall to maximize happiness and fulfillment? Is financial independence important to you?
