I laugh when I hear people say you should just save up to buy house with cash.
Anyone recommending this is out of touch with reality and playing by money rules that are 30 years old.
We have a housing crisis on our hands t...
My role in life has become clear over the years.
It's basically to say the unpopular things that no one wants to say out loud.
So I'm going to absolutely ruin some click-baity YouTube videos for you right now...
But you ne...
I was a guest on a podcast recently and the host hit me with a question I get a lot.
"That's the problem...I have no idea where to start! How do you figure that out?"
Unfortunate fact: Most people are overwhelmed with too m...

I mean...how could that be?
They're so important. They're so easy. They're totally fr...
What is a money system? In the larger economic world, they call them "monetary systems".

I just turned 36.
If I could travel back in time 10 years ago and tell myself 3 lessons to help me get rich faster (and no, something uber-specific like buy bitcoin isn't what I mean), then this would be my advice.

Millionaire? Billionaire? 6-figure salary? Nope.
None of these are the most important financial milestone and it shows in too many people's mindsets.
This is why everyone is barely making enough to maintain their existing l...
Let's face it.

Okay, I'll settle for a mindset shift.
After years of working with people on optimizing their finances and designing the life they truly want, I've found th...
All the big financial gurus don't tell you about this step when they tell you to pay off debt.
I wish I knew why because it reduces your overall debt load and how quickly you can pay it off.

Haters gonna hate.
I try not to engage trolls but a recent one was actually a well-known person with a decent following so I felt compelled to engage and crush his weak argument about my post.
In a LinkedIN post, I said if...
