Episode #18- 9 Steps to Retire and Stay Comfortably Retired
There is something that's getting in your way with building your wealth. And it has to do with what you believe, think and expect when it comes to money.
One of the major blocks to financial freedom is our money mindset.
And when we release those money blocks and become self-aware about our own personal relationship with money, we can begin to rewrite our own personal money story.
Episode #17-What to Do 3-5 Years Before Retirement
This episode is specifically tailored for those looking to retire in the next three to five years, but also really valuable information to prepare you for the things you will have to think about while you are saving and investing toward this period of time.
As football fans know, the “red zone” is the area of the field where the offense is within 20 yards of scoring a touchdown. Applied to retirement, the red zone concept means the period where retirement is in the near future.
Wealth Decision #9: Hire a Financial Advisor
So what does a financial advisor do?
The first thing is a financial advisor is going to sit down with you, understand what's important to you, and help create a financial plan.
And then once they've created a financial plan, they're going to create a portfolio designed for your stage in life and your individual risk tolerance.
They're going to look at portfolio risk and return characteristics.
They're going to look at tax efficiency if they're investing some of your money in a taxable account.
And they're going to look at the fees that you're paying on your investments.
Episode #2- Paying Yourself First
Most individuals pay their bills and then invest if there is anything left over. A better wealth decision is to pay yourself first by putting a percentage of money away before you pay your bills. I am glad I had a father who preached this to my brother and me early in life. I would not be in the position I am today, without adopting this mindset. Paying yourself first can set you up to achieve a richer life in the future.
Wealth Decision #1: Living Within Your Means
A rich life is not just about nice things, although ads getting us to want this or that would lead us to believe that. We can find a balance between a fulfilling life and saving for the future by being clear on what truly matters to us both now and in the long run. You can’t create financial independence or freedom without first living within your means.
Wealth Decisions Podcast - Intro Episode
And one of the things that I wanna really get across in this podcast is there's so many important wealth decisions that you're gonna make throughout your life.
And I made a lot of mistakes early in my life and hope to give you all an idea on how to make better wealth decisions throughout your life.
I believe there's three things that you can have. Financial security, financial independence, or financial freedom. They might all sound the same, but they're very different. Financial security will give you kind of just that. You'll feel secure in your finances. You'll be able to maybe do some of the things you wanna do.
But when it comes down to financial independence or financial freedom, that's where you will have more choice to do some of the things that you wanna do. And each one of those is a noble goal. And each one of those is something that anyone can achieve.
When you shift your mindset to knowing something is possible, to knowing it is possible for you, that's when things can change.
