A child born today has something more valuable than almost anything else in finance…

Time.

With enough time, even relatively small contributions can grow into something extraordinary because of the power of compound interest.

That’s why there has been so much discussion recently about the new Trump Education Accounts designed to help families start saving for their children’s education.

Programs like this can certainly help some families. But the bigger lesson is that parents and grandparents don’t have to wait for a government program to start building a financial head start for their kids.

Consider a simple example of compounding:

• $2,000 invested at birth
• $100 per month contributed
• 8% average annual growth

By age 18, that account could grow to more than $60,000.

But here’s where the real power of compounding shows up…

If that money simply stays invested and continues modest contributions over time, it could potentially grow to $1 million or more over a lifetime.

Recently, I had the privilege of helping a young family start accounts for each of their three young children using IUL (Indexed Universal Life) strategies designed to harness this same long-term compounding effect.

Helping parents take practical steps like this for their children’s future is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. There’s something incredibly meaningful about knowing a decision made today could help create education opportunities, financial flexibility, and long-term security decades from now.

The real lesson from all the talk about education accounts is simple:

You don’t have to wait for a program.

You can start building a financial head start for your children today.

Because sometimes the greatest gift we can give our kids isn’t just money…

It’s time in the market.

If an account like this had been started for you when you were born, how different do you think your financial life might look today?

If you’re curious about how strategies like this work or how families are setting them up for their children, I’m always happy to have a conversation and share what I’ve learned helping other families get started.

"Every moving animal that is alive may serve as food for you. Just as I gave you the green vegetation, I give them all to you." - Genesis 9:3,4.

From green vegetation to the great variety of animal life, the world and it's productions seem to be an endless source of ingredients to serve the dishes that feed our near inexhaustible palate. I have been thinking of those things that bring me joy in life, and high on that list would have to be the eating and preparation of food.

No matter what culture you are from, what national background from which you hail... comment on the particular food or dish that brings you joy and why. My biggest whys center around my memories of my mother cooking and/ or the regional delicacies I grew up eating.

FEAST OR FAMINE- Attention Real Estate Agents and Agencies: The real estate industry is great! You get to help people find their dream home and as their real estate agent, you are compensated generously for your effort. However, when the market is not good (inventory issues, high interest rates and etc...), things can go badly for a while.

But what if you could leverage the successful client experiences you have already had and turn them into a secondary income stream. Yes, what if you could turn times of famine into a FEAST? If you want to see how more and more agents and agencies are doing this, check out this referral program with a leader in the financial service industry.

DO I NEED A WILL, A TRUST, OR BOTH? OR SHOULD I DO NOTHING?

Most people don’t think about trusts until it’s too late.

If any of these matter to you:
• Avoiding probate
• Making sure loved ones are taken care of
• Protecting an inheritance from lawsuits, divorce, or creditors
• Passing on values, not just assets
• Making sure money isn’t wasted
• Providing for a spouse or family
• Leaving charitable gifts

There’s an easy way to find out if a trust makes sense for you.

A SOILID FINANCAL PLAN- THE EMERGENCY FUND

01/20/2026

Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know an incredible group of individuals with a long history of advocating for income protection for hardworking individuals and families. This is an issue that matters deeply to me, especially when it comes to the loss of income that can result from chronic illness, hospitalization, or serious accidents.

In furtherance of that mission, they’ve launched a new initiative designed specifically for members of the medical community—dentists, physicians, and others. Neoterra Insurance Services, has developed the Doctor’s Income Protection Program (DIPP), created to address a very real and often overlooked risk.

I am incredibly grateful for the physicians who have played an integral role in my family’s health and well-being over the past few years. They work tirelessly to serve others and, through that dedication, are often able to build a comfortable life for their families. But that stability is heavily dependent on their ability to work and be present. Sadly, many are just one accident or serious illness away from losing what they’ve worked so hard to build.

At the bottom of their page, you’ll find bios of the dedicated men and women behind this effort—people I’ve personally come to know and respect. If you know a doctor or dentist who could benefit from a simple conversation, please consider sharing this program and service with them. dipp.live/

Sometimes awareness is the first step toward protection.

Be prepared for the unexpected by protecting your income. DIPP is additive to your policy and provides additional protection.
