Join Weekly Tips It's not always about maximizing the monetary aspects of your finances. When are you doing enough? Are you spending in a way that provides happiness in the short term? There's an opportunity cost to how we spend our time. Don't overlook the ways you can find balance by being more intentional.

Join Weekly Tips Here When considering the opportunity cost of investment decisions, it's important to have a benchmark to compare to for perspective around expected returns. If you believe in the future of innovation, competition, and population growth, the global stock market is an excellent benchmark. Technology has democratized access to low-cost diversified investing. With a handful of ETFs, you can access a large portion of the investable global equity market. Because of the low costs, (lack of) barrier to entry, and reasonable expected returns, the global stock market should be a starting point for comparing the opportunity cost of alternative investments and ultimately return on effort.

Join weekly tips here Anyone can throw money at an investment. I’m way more fascinated by someone with skin in the game actually building a business.

Join weekly tips here If you own shares in a private company that turns into a publicly-traded company — you’ve already won. HOWEVER, once the shares are traded publicly, all bets are off. Why? Because historically, IPOs have generally underperformed broader market benchmarks due to their fundamental characteristics.

Click here to join weekly tips. When it comes to the technical side of financial planning, there are three metrics I consistently come back to for determining the health of someone's finances. Each metric is important depending on where you are in your financial journey. In this episode, I share my thoughts on the importance of each metric and when you should start emphasizing tracking each one.

Have a game plan for managing concentration risk post IPO. If you're waiting to see what happens with your company's share price, you're leaving yourself open to emotional "in-the-moment" decision making.
