Generational Wealth Development

If I die at 80 and my kids’ inheritance changes their lives, I didn’t do my job as a parent. FULL STOP.

I don’t want my kids waiting until they’re 50+ to benefit from what I’ve built.

I want to teach them about money NOW and put myself in a position to help them when they ACTUALLY NEED the help.

That’s generational wealth to me.

I wrote about exactly what I’m doing as a young parent to try to change my kids’ financial futures.

If your life insurance agent and your financial advisor are the same person, you may have a great salesperson instead of a true financial advisor.

When someone gets paid to sell products, it's fair to ask whether the recommendation is for your benefit or theirs.

Advice should be paid for. Products should be optional.

Ask one question: "How do you get paid?"

Thinking about selling your home?

Before you write a check for a $20,000+ realtor commission, ask yourself one question.

Do you actually know what you're paying for?

I've sold two homes without using a realtor, and before becoming a financial advisor, I spent 10 years in mortgage lending watching tons of real estate transactions from start to finish.

I'm not anti-realtor. They absolutely can provide value.

But I do think every homeowner should understand the process before deciding whether hiring one is worth the cost.

I put together a step-by-step guide on how to sell your home without a realtor, including pricing your home, marketing it, working with a title company, handling inspections, and making it all the way to closing.

Even if you ultimately decide to hire an agent, you'll be a much more informed seller.

Never get complacent with your financial advisor.

You're paying them a fee. In many cases, it's one of the biggest professional fees you pay each year.

So let me ask you this:

When was the last time you gave your financial advisor a performance review?

Is your advisor still the right fit for where you are today? Are they providing value? Are they helping you make better financial decisions, or have you just kept them because it's easier than asking questions?

Your life changes. Your career changes. Your goals change.

Your financial advisor should be keeping up with those changes.

If you haven't reviewed your advisor relationship in a while, this article walks through when you should and what questions you should be asking.

Most shop insurance every few years but never review their financial advisor. Learn to evaluate your advisor with Questions to ask every year.
